Abu Garcia Fantasista X sensitivity vs. others...

[Big-Bass]

Can anyone provide some feedback on the sensitivity of the Abu Garcia Fantasista X rods compared to other brands in a similar price point?  Any stand out models in the series?  Thank you for your help and best wishes on the water!

I have the Fantasista Regista and it's a pretty good rod. I would compare the sensitivity to somewhere around a G.Loomis GLX but the components feel cheap. I think I payed around $200 for it but would never pay the regular retail price, $500+ I think.

I have the older Fantasista Premier 7’ MH Fast (really a heavy), I also have the new Fantasiata X 7’ MH Extra Fast.  The premier is a great general purpose heavy rod, I primarily use it for skipping jigs.  The X, is my bottom contact rod up to 1/2 football jig and trailer.  I think I only paid around $200 for it, if you can find it on sale it’s worth it.

I have a M Premier.  It is very sensitive, but I have been frustrated with the action.  It has a very stiff tip, so casting anything in the lower half of lure weight rating is difficult.

Thank you.  The 6'10" ML spinning rod with a Zenon X spinning reel is what I am looking at.  The rod can be had for $179.99 and the reel for $120.  Most of my spinning rods are Megabass Levante or Daiwa Kage rods so I was wondering how this would compare.
