JQ-92 Posted January 7, 2020 Posted January 7, 2020 Looking for help on rod selections. I am looking to get a medium/heavy casting rod around 6'8-7 feet. I have narrowed it down to Daiwa Aird-X, Ark Lancer, Shimmano Sellus, Abu Garcia Vengeance or Lews Laser SG1. Which would you suggest? Quote
Super User MN Fisher Posted January 7, 2020 Super User Posted January 7, 2020 I have the 7' MH/F Aird-X - use it for spinners/chatters/buzz/T-Rigs/Jigs. Caught my best of last year (profile pic) on that rod. With the chatters, I can feel the blade vibration even though I don't palm my reel and finger my line during retrieve. I'm very happy with it and if I don't upgrade to something like a Dobyns Fury, I'll be using this rod for quite a while. 1 Quote
JQ-92 Posted January 8, 2020 Author Posted January 8, 2020 Appreciate your feedback! How’s the sensitivity with the jig? How well can you feel bottom? Quote

I haven't bottom-bounced jigs yet...so dunno. Besides, the bottoms here are mostly soft. I do feel hits on the swim-jigs though. Quote
