Rod most similar to a GLX 842c MBR

[FryDog62]

I have one ordered that went on backorder right after I hit send.  What other 7 ft Medium-Fast rods have the same unique type of action - moving baits as well as the sensitivity for at least some bottom contact. Very versatile which is needed when you can only take a handful of rods on a kayak… 

 

Ideally something less money would be fine, I’m not hung up on a rod being boujee necessarily, just versatile, sensitive, etc.  TIA

I only have a 904, but the major craft days360 610M/RF is what I imagine a 2 power loomis would feel like.  I love this rod, 110jr+1, jigs, scroungers, spoons, flukes, spinnerbaits, free rigs, etc.

Possible, although I believe it has a little bit of a longer handle than I like for working lighter/finesse lures. Agree, it’s another good rod though!

Looks like a great rod. Just wondering if I received and wasn’t quite right, the shipping costs back to Japan might be as much as the rod?!?

If measurements help, let me know.  I'm a few days away from being near it, but can certainly get a pic if needed.  I don't know what the literature says, but has to be within a half inch of the 610M expride.

My guess is yes?  I fished the s**t out of mine the day I opened it

That Major Craft is a very intriguing rod, but I do want to make sure the handle is noticeably shorter than the Expride, which is the reason why I returned both the 6’10 M and 7’2” ML Expride.

I can show you a pic, but a few days away.  I'm not planning on going to my place for a little while.  If you're looking for a drastic difference than the expride, it's probably not for you though.

I did like the quality, action of the Expride - but man that extra handle length is a PIA!

I have the Megabass P5 Zcrank Elseil and I love it for small cranks and jerkbaits. It is also great for topwater. I have used it for senkos and a 3/8oz jig and it wasn't bad. It's a bit soft but the main thing is the tip on this rod. It recovers quickly so if you like to pop baits, it's great. It would be a good alternative to a MBR rod.
