Got out yesterday with the new rod. We've had lots of rain and fronts coming through Ohio. Nice and sunny on Saturday but gusty winds. Managed to catch a mixed bag of 24.i fished the Gekkabijin with a daiwa luvias 2000s and 2lb mono. Also too the majorcraft aji do 5G with a daiwa presso 1000s with 2lb mono. The Gekkabijin has to be one of the most sensitive rods I've ever fished. Definitely a good choice.
