    Default Anyone here have the Major Craft Aji-Do?


    I want to buy the 6-2 light version but am wondering how rigid the rod actually is. Would it provide a fun factor to crappie, gills and redear?

    I wonder if it's comparable to the Triple Cross? I just don't want a broom stick, lol.

    I have both. the 6'8" Triple Cross tubular tip is my favorite dock shooting rod, but not that fun with small sunfish. The 6'8" Aji Do has a very fine solid tip and is a lot more sensitive blank than the Triple Cross. Because they are Aji rods, they are fast action and get into the backbone of the rod very quickly. I prefer the Aji Do for fishing 1/32 oz. and less jigs. Not as fun for small fish as rods that bend further into the blank, but it's no broomstick with that super skinny tip. Another rod you might consider is the Yamaga Blanks Blue Current III in the 6'3" model
    Much more limber than the Aji rods, but definitely not a noodle.

    Is the Yamaga rod an Ajing rod? Do you have the Blue Current and if so, do you like it? Thanks!

    The Blue Current III is not an Ajing rod. It has a very nice progressive bend. I have the 6'8" model and like it a lot. It's the first rod I grab for bluegill fishing. Pretty rod, too. If I could do it over again I would probably opt for the 6'3" since it is a slightly lighter action and would be even more fun. Digitaka has them in stock right now for less than $190 shipped.

    Actually my rod is 6'9". If you go to the Yamaga offficial site through Digitaka, they have excellent descriptions of all there rods. The Blue Current Nano probably compares to the best Japanese rods since they are 99.8% graphite, compared to 91% for the III. Cost you an extra hundred, though. Might go for it if they ever get the 6'3" model in stock.
