About this blog

 

 

The enjoyment of using fishing equipment: rod and reel.  I've always been on the side of it doesn't matter, a rod is a rod and a reel is a reel.  The fish don't care.  Well it appears that the fish do care because it's the difference between working a lure and being able to present the lure in the fish's attention zone.

 

Here is my endeavor thus so far.

Shimano Poison Adrena: PAD2610ULMA

Shimano Poison Adrena Spinning Rod: PAD2610ULMA   This is a 6'10" rod with an Ultralight tip section transition into a Medium backbone rod.  It is listed with an Extra-Fast action tip.  In a way that make sense.  I bought the rod on an impulse just because I was sort of wanting an Ultralight power rod.  After using the Zodias rods for sometime and I found them to be well performing rods I just really got curious about a higher dollar value rod in the same likeness.  In a way I am repea

Shimano Zodias: ZDS70LA and ZDS70MLA

So I really got my first field test of my new Zodias Rod I purchased this spring. I did bring out both the ZDS70LA and ZDS70MLA.

Shimano Zodias - 2020

Spinning Rods ZDS270ML I bought the 7' ML Fast action spinning rod at the same time I bought the baitcasting Zodias Rod.  Originally I was leaning more towards a L power rod, of which they did not produce such.  So I settled on this one as I was looking to replace a Cabela's XML 7' ML rod that fishes well but had that butt weight system that weighs it down.  The rod comes with the same 8 Fuji Alconite guides plus a SiC tip like the baitcasting models.  I did use the rod to toss a lot o

Shimano Zodias - 2020

Casting Rods: ZDS170MLG I was looking for a medium light casting rod and this one sort of fill the specs I was looking for.  These rods retails for around $200 and getting a sale price on them makes them very attractive price point.  So I took a feel to it in the store and liked it enough to purchase it.  The rod has 8 Fuji Alconite guides plus a SiC tip guide.  Split Grip EVA foam handles and a Ci4+ graphite reel seat with an aluminum locking nut.   This particular 7' ML model is list
