I don't know which AH recommended but I have the Aji-Do 1g and out of the 4 or five others I have from the JDM market it remains my go to rod. It was my first JDM purchase and it was a perfect fit for me. Another one I have that is a very very close second and still in that price range is the Palms Pinwheel. They are very similar in weight, feel and action, at least to me. It was my second purchase and sees a lot of fishing time as well.
