Depends on the brand and model of the Mebaru rod. The Finezza Prototype is unique in that it is seems a very stiff rod in the hand....but load it up with some 2.1# test Varivas Super Trout Advance Sight Edition and it does a masterful job on crappie. I only caught one good crappie this past week but that told me all I needed to know about the rod. I doubt I will be using the ester line much on the Finezza Prototype....but will use ester with my area trout rods......Tice Ice Cube rods. I am pretty sure I will not be using ester on my Ajing rods unless I am after stocker trout. If I could see the clear lines I wouldn’t bother with hi-vis lines either. Let me say this about the Varivas lines. I have had a Shimano Twin Power spooled up with the Varivas 2.1# test nylon for about 9 months now. They line is till very limp......has almost no memory and just the right amount of stretch. The line is orange and I see now that Varivas Sight Edition is green in color and the smallest on the Varivas website is 3# test. But I am sure I will be getting some Sunline to play around with too. And let’s not forget the Lunakia 6’ 10”. It is also a very unique rod in the fact that it is a hybrid between the Ajing and Mebaru rods. This week I think the weather will allow me to get out for about 5 days in a row to test out rods....line combinations......to include some trout fishing. So excited I can hardly sleep! The older I become the more excited I get about fishing.Originally Posted by VaCrappieMan

So you're the one who cleaned out all the 1g jigs at Plat! Mine are on back order.

Well where does that leave me for the 31 packs I ordered from Plat in assorted weights and hooks sizes to test them out?
I figure with the price per pack, handling and shipping charges this order ends up with the jigs costing just a tad over a 1.00 a piece.
Expensive but like anything else we will see if I feel there is a significant difference in my hook up rates to warrant the extra cost, if so with everything else I spend fishing then this will not be unreasonable.
I just hope with all the orders I get them before the fishing season ends! lol!
My fishing buddy and I are going today to check out several places and ramps we have never been before, not taking the boat but will take a rod and a small amount of tackle, may wet a line if the opportunity presents itself.

I fish so much brush here I do not think they would be very cost effective, but like everything else I have used from across the big pond I bet they are quality jig heads. Maybe they will restock and I can get in line also!
