The 2pwr is rated for 3/8oz The 3pwr is rated for 1/2oz The 3 power will handle 1/2oz but it feels like it's at its limit. 3/8oz is its sweet spot. According to Goose the 2 power will handle 3/8oz but it's near its limit also. If the 2 power follows suit then 1/4oz will be the sweet spot for it. It'll be a fun combo. Both are rated as fast action and I'd give the 713 a mod/fast rating slightly more towards fast but the 2 power is definitely a lot more towards the mod end of the spectrum. Quote

Just keep in mind that the 682C is indeed a "light power" and as rippin-lips said, it might be rated as "fast" action but if you put the rod under load and look at the curvature of the blank - you're probably closer to moderate than fast action. I went to the 682C after fishing medium-light power rods quite a bit - so, I knew what I was getting into. If you have been fishing medium-heavies mostly, I'm afraid that you might be disappointed in the 682C and will feel that it's a noodle-rod. Give it some thought - you might want to consider a medium-light before dropping down to the "light" 682C. 1 Quote

Super User kickerfish1 Posted March 11, 2016 Super User Posted March 11, 2016 And I believe that is a JDM Orichi XX rod as evidenced by the red trim pieces! Never seen anyone with one before. Nice! Quote
DirtyDeuceGoose Posted March 11, 2016 Posted March 11, 2016 Very nice indeed! I've been on the lookout for a JDM model I'm interested in for a while now. Nice snag Quote
TxHawgs Posted March 11, 2016 Posted March 11, 2016 Love this thread, moved from PA to TX recently and I'm an hr from Lake Fork, YESSS lol. Started fishing tourneys on it with a local club as a co. My PA rods didn't cut it so I'm in the process of aquiring a whole new arsenal. I too consider myself a high end tackle junky. Once my master plan is complete I will post pics and hopefully be accepted into the cult mmmwwaahahahaha. Bent rods and tight lines to all! Quote
TxHawgs Posted March 11, 2016 Posted March 11, 2016 Oh yea reason I wanted to post before rant, is the 2016 shimano bantam rod JDM or will it also be in the US? Sharp lookin rod for sure. Where u guys buy your JDM megabass rods? And what about evergreen international? I know ebay, japan tackle and jplat or something like that. Quote

I've personally purchased from - Digitaka, JLS, Samurai Fishing, bass.jp, and Japan Angler. It mostly comes down to who has what in stock for me sometimes. Some rods are just hard to come by, or are produced in 'runs' and once sold out you have to wait to wait for the next round. That's what I had to do with my Ultima. Paid for it then 3 weeks later it was shipped after the next run was made. Quote
