bassin is addicting Posted June 30, 2010 Posted June 30, 2010 i received the DHC5-681SPM it is a one-piece 6'8" med action, extra fast taper spinning rod with split grip cork handle. it is labled "tube-grub" at first look and feel i was very impressed...very light and the construction looks and feels great. nice high quality guides and reel seat. i have had the opportunity to use is 4 times in the past 10 days. i am very impressed. i paired it with a plueger president 6730 spooled with 8lb trilene xl for 2 trips and with a quantum kinetic pti10 spooled with 6lb yo-zuri ultrasoft. both performed well. except for tourney's, i fish from the bank and use very little weight or weightless soft plastics 75% of the time. and have found a couple new holes to fish that are pretty overrun with vegetation. i found the power of the rod to be on the stronger side of medium which i really liked. i caught over 40 fish on the rod with more than a few being over 3 and 4lbs. i like the light weight and ease of casting. what i really liked was the quick action for the hookset. i had no problem getting fish out of the salad.. overall i really like the rod and how it performed and would highly recommend it for the application i use.

Pinnacle58 Posted July 4, 2010 Posted July 4, 2010 What did you think about the sensitivity of the rod? I think it is one of the best features of these rods. Quote

That is awesome, and what a benchmark! Hopefully those rods will make out to the Seattle area. Quote
