Thanks for all the suggestions about what rod my new Stradic Ci4+ will great look on. It is hard to deny that the Cumara or Zodias are the perfect match for it. I have never owned, or even researched for that matter, Shimano rods. I have always just viewed Shimano as a top of the line reel manufacturer, but never considered their rods. Can anyone speak to their quality/sensitivity? For the price of one, I could buy some other rods that I absolutely love and know are good rods. Also, I am not impressed that they only carry a one year warranty. Bottom line, I want a Zodias to pair with my Stradic because it looks so fantastic, but want to make sure I am getting a great rod for that much money.
