The wait for new rods begins
I hate the waiting part of getting new rods. I kind of enjoy watching videos and trying to do some research on different rods to make a decision. But once the order is placed I don't like the wait.
Ordered two rods this week. The first in a 6'2 Abu Garcia Carabus (Diplomat Extreme) by another name. Ordered from Waveinn out of Spain, The website said it was in stock when I ordered but we shall see how long it takes. The reviews of the website lead me to believe they might try source what ever you order after the order is placed.
Given the above suspicion I decided to also order a 5'10 XUL Diawa Presso Air AGS, for JDM Tackle Heaven. That one I expect in about a week. Will most likley pair the Abu MGX Theta with it as it's the lightest reel I have.

I have been so intrigued by the diplomat extreme but I have been wanting the light action in it. If you get it please let us know your thoughts on it.

I’m thinking that you’re gonna be pleased with the Presso. I see them in lots of videos and I hear them mentioned a lot. Hope it lives up to your expectations. As for the other one…….I do t know what to say. I don’t want to be negative cuz I have no experience with them. I placed an order with plat for some line and a reel on the 3rd and haven’t gotten an order confirmation yet. My hopes aren’t high.

Congrats on the new rods. Please let us know how you like the bob/no butt on the Presso. I just can't get past the look of it, but your positive review of the performance could swing the meter the other way.

I'm not crazy about that look either, but for the right performance I'm willing to deal with it. I'm also redneck enough that I'm not above putting my own butt cap on it if need be.Originally Posted by slowhand

No idea about the Carabus (maybe someday I’ll get one) but I own a Presso Air AGS. It’s a fine rod. Excellent for jigging / twitching and has a nice bend (on the XUL).
JDM Tackle Heaven has good shipping. I hope you can get the Carabus too. Good luck!

Got emails yesterday and today from the companies. It looks like both rods have shipped. We shall see.
I thought the Presso from JDM Tackle heaven was in stock when I ordered, but after a couple days of not getting a shipping notice I went back to look at the reciept and it said it was a pre order. Don't know if I wasn't paying close enough attention or what when I ordered.
We shall see what shows up when.
