Shimano Zodias

This is definitely going to help me when it comes to casting and just overall comfort.

If you want a treasure hunt you can try and look for a shimano zodias 7’ light. That rod has a similar color scheme as the fuego. Edit: your ugly stick elite is still a pretty good choice if you choose to keep it. Personally I think the ugly sticks are a bit on the heavy side for me (all that fiberglass they like to use).

Rod arrived in 3 pieces.. can't understand why they wouldn't put it in a tube with fragile written on the outside instead if a crappy flimsy box that ace ventura delivered.. pretty sad about it..

Get an Expride or Zodias instead. Personally, I don’t bother with Loomis unless I’m going high end (GLX at minimum).

Feels a little stiffer than my Fenwick ML Aetos. But overall it looks great and it actually catches fish… not for the novice, if so stick to ugly stick and call it. AC

I recently bought a Daiwa Tatula SV TW 103 ans Shimano Zodias 172H-2 for pike fishing, works great. Before I used a Fishband GH150 and Seaknight Falcon M/MH from AliExpress.

I have switched all of my rods to the new zodias line up. Over all I am very pleased. Planning on buying more of them. For 200 dollars it has out performed all of my rods I own.

The Powell Max 3Ds are really nice, Cashion Elite series, hell, match your reel with a Shimano Zodias. If you want to split the difference, everyone will say “get a Dobyn’s Fury” or a “St.

The main thing here is to change the rod none of the favorite rods have impressed me, I would heavily suggest to switch it to a shimano zodias or a evergreen combat stick or a megabass levante if you can find one I own one of each and love them with the levante being my favorite but it can be hard to find look for the tour versatile.

I'd suggest a Shimano Zodias 7'2 medium action. Very versatile and extremely sensitive for the price. If you'd like more sensitivity you can pay a little more for the Expride, also an amazing rod
