LVLDVL Posted March 14, 2009 Posted March 14, 2009 Specifically looking at the 6'3" medium finesse spinning. I'm not allowed to post HTML links yet. I mostly do weightless worm, poppers, and spinnerbaits (less than 3/8 oz). None of the stores near me carry these Daiwa rods for some odd reason so I can't examine and compare it to Shimano/St. Croix. Opinions are greatly appreciated. My price range is no more than $150-ish. Thanks! By the way, I currently own 7'0" Shimano Compre. Does the job but too long for my height (I'm only 5'2") and hard to maneuver along shoreline trails and shrubbery. Quote
bigmountaineer Posted March 15, 2009 Posted March 15, 2009 That is a nice rod, but if your just shore fishing man look at some of St. Croix's lower end model the premier and mojo, they are just as light and good. Quote
Simp Posted March 16, 2009 Posted March 16, 2009 I have the Light and tough frog rod and love it so far. For a rod a little over 7ft it's VERY light and very sensitive. What I love about mine is it telescopes so it can fit in the back of my truck when I go fishing ponds. Quote
Super User Marty Posted March 16, 2009 Super User Posted March 16, 2009 I don't know anything about that rod or where you fish or what kind of cover you're dealing with...but I've used a medium power, fast action spinning rod (6'6") which handles most lures and techniques very nicely. It's also a good all-purpose rod from boats as well. Quote
