Ortega Posted February 23 Posted February 23 ¡Hola a todos! Estoy intentando comprar el expride b ¡Pero no sé si comprar Heavy 7'2 o Medium heavy 7'2! Lo usaré sobre todo para Texas rig, free rig, Witch craws y senkos y jigs de 3/8 oz. ¡Muchas gracias! Quote
PBBrandon Posted February 24 Posted February 24 ¡Hola y bienvenido al foro! Para 3/8oz, la caña medianamente pesada funcionaría mejor. Para 1/2oz y más, probablemente querrás usar la caña pesada. Yo solía tener la Expride medianamente pesada de 7'2", y era una caña excelente para las cosas que quieres lanzarle. 2 Quote
softwateronly Posted February 24 Posted February 24 Lo siento, no hablo espanol. I like the MH up to 1/2oz+ and think 3/8oz is perfect on that rod. MH is my choice. scott Quote

Muchas gracias por la bienvenida! Al final opté por una Steez Harrier 7011 H/MHFB•SV 17! Creo que puede ir genial para todo esto y la sensibilidad ha de ser increíble 2 Quote
woolleyfooley Posted March 1 Posted March 1 Not to hijack the thread, but how does the expride b stack up against competitors as far as sensitivity? Ie which rods are a bit more sensitive and which rods are a bit less sensitive? Quote

It’s really kind of splitting hairs as I think around the $300 price point, you are getting a rod with close to top end sensitivity, but if I had to rank the ones I have experience with- 1. Shimano Expride B 2. St Croix LTB 3. Daiwa Tatula Elite AGS (last gen) 4. Dobyns Champ Extreme HP 1-3 is very close. I think the AGS rods feel more “loud” I guess than the Expride or LTB because of the guides, but as far as discerning what I’m feeling, those 2 have the edge and are very close. The Champ HP is a tiny bit behind those other 3 IMO. 1 Quote

I have a soft spot for the expride b and was wondering if I would be better of buying them instead. The only problem I have is they don’t have all the sizes/actions I’m interested in. Quote
