Loomis13 Posted August 29, 2016 Posted August 29, 2016 Does anybody have experience with this rod? I have handled one and really like the action for what i want to do but also do not want to drop ~$400 on a rod and not like it. Quote
GLoom11 Posted August 29, 2016 Posted August 29, 2016 Just got one for myself, it came highly recomended from a friend. I havent used it too much but i like it a lot so far. I found mine on sale for less than that. it is def a little steep and ive heard its only a one year warranty but not sure if thats correct. Quote
Dan_the_fisher Posted August 29, 2016 Posted August 29, 2016 They have a few models still in stock on tackle warehouse that are on clearance for $230. I almost bought one bet went with another megabass Rod instead. Quote

The place I work at has some left and they have been there for awhile... Quote
Tim S. Posted August 30, 2016 Posted August 30, 2016 I have the 6-10 MH and the 6-10 M. They are extremely nice rods and among the lightest I have ever fished. As light as any comparable Steez rod, but with way more sensitivity. Mine will be with me for a long, long time. Quote

You sure you dont want another custom? Quote
timsford Posted August 30, 2016 Posted August 30, 2016 Very nice light sensitive rods with a very versatile taper that let's you fish many different techniques. They do only have a one year warranty. A lot of the models are being discontinued according to the shimano rep on tackletour so I wouldn't pay retail. My buddy got a frog version for like 230 shipped off fleabay Quote

I'm looking for the 6'10 M casting rod for jerkbaits. Tackle warehouse doesn't have that model in stock unfortunately. I've heard the 6'10 Medium has a fast tip initially then gets pretty moderate once you hook up. How would you describe it? Quote
Tim S. Posted September 1, 2016 Posted September 1, 2016 It fishes larger jerkbaits like a Vision 110 just fine and it loads well with a fish on. But it is a little stiffer than I prefer for lighter, smaller treble hook baits-except squarebills around hard cover and 1/2 oz. rat-l-traps. It works great for a 3/8 spinnerbait/chatterbait. I'm actually looking for the 6-10 ML for lighter baits like a #11 Rapala floater. Quote
Big-Bass Posted September 4, 2016 Posted September 4, 2016 I have a 72M casting that I got about a month ago but have not fished yet. I am thinking maybe adding a Metanium MGL to match it, or even another Curado 70. Maybe the Scorpion 70 would match too...or even a Chronarch Ci4...man oh man...too many choices. I hope this rod is pretty versatile from spinnerbaits, light jigs (3/8oz. and under), vibration/spybaits, even jerk baits. They are a beautiful looking rod and seem like a good rod at the sale price they are at. I hope this helps and good fishing! Quote
Mokujon Posted September 5, 2016 Posted September 5, 2016 I have a 6 10 M glass rod for shallow cranking and jerkbaits. By far my favorite rod. I was lucky to pick it up for $200. Quote
DelcoSol Posted September 5, 2016 Posted September 5, 2016 Like Tim I have the 610M. I use it for jerk baits. Paired with a Core 50Mg7 it just floats in your hand. Ive thought about selling itbecause I don't use it that much but every time I do I get that wow factor again. The reel seat is great, the foam is nice, plenty sensitive. the 610M is a little more stout, almost a MH. Suposedly the 66M is a lot different. 1 Quote
