    Default I’ve been good for some time .


    About ordering any new rods .
    Felt I had all that I could ever use .
    But I’ve been playing with short rods lately and there was always one I wanted to try ever since I watched Troutmagnetman’s video on one he bought to fish spoons with at low flow on the Red , IIRC .
    It’s a Majorcraft Fintail Stream 4’10” fiberglass rod .
    I happen to notice it last week at a good price , and had a weak moment today , and clicked the buy button .
    Anyways , estimated delivery is May 2-3 .
    Tight lines !

    I own rods fro $20 to $150 . Most are under $100 .
    I have limits to what I will spend on a rod .
    I own a couple of St Croixs I bought on clearance they would have been over $200 but I wouldn’t pay that .
    Most of my JDM rods are entry level.
    I always wait and buy at sale prices .
    The MC Finetail Glass I got for $110 , usually they’re around the $150 range .
    I don’t smoke or drink , , so at my age , fishing is about it .
    I do spend a little money on second hand stereo equipment and music to listen to .
    Nothing worth watching on tv anymore.

    I have the BFS version and like it a lot. Lots of fun, and it's faster and has more backbone than your typical glass rod. It's not a hyper sensitive jig rod, but it's great with moving baits. I mainly use it to throw 1/16 oz Flashback Mini chatterbaits. Where did you find it for $110?

    Amazon Japan sure has some great prices! I had picked up a Palms Native Egeria for $110 or $115 a couple of months back. Typically it goes for $150ish. The Majorcraft Finetail Glass (stream version, not area) is a fine rod for moving baits.
