I’ve been pleasantly surprised by this Rod, when I first got it I was afraid it was TOO much more than the 610 Lunakia. While it is quite a bit more stout, the longer length gives me a super sensitive, almost soft tip action. I spent today drop shotting in the current around bridge piers with a 3” swim bait and a 3/8 weight, didn’t get my target species hooked up, but did lay into a couple real healthy drum, this rods handled them like a champ, no sweat. Works great with the .4 Varivas PE and a 4lb mono leader. After that I went down a deep rip rap back throwing a 4” curly tail grub on a 3/32 #1 hook jig head, hooked into a few smallies and another mess of big drum for some reason. Finished up throwing a 1.5gram #8 jig with 1 inch slider grub and caught a whole mess of 4-9” gills. I’m amazed at how this Rod loads for casting... I can throw the 1.5gram head with little slider grub about 90% of what I could the 3/32 with 4” grub, and I can pitch the drop shot rig a frigging mile. Admittedly, the smaller gills were not as much fun as the two smaller Lunakia or especially my Eradicator SUL, but was not dull. Sensitivity is the best on this of the three Lunakias I own.

    Good write up. Now that I’m fishing the Lunakia more I wish I had used it sooner and a lot more often. It is going to get a big workout this winter and early spring.

    I have 40 some trips in this year, not once has the 610 Lunakia not been fished at least a little, it’s far and away my favorite rod I’ve ever fished with, it just “feels” right to me, like Tenryu designed it for me. I do understand how nuts that sounds.

    Speaking of rods not used much... I got the Finezza Prototype out today, it’s a sweet rods too, it’s just too much like the Lunakia but not just “off” a bit for me. Hopefully I’ll find a niche for it, otherwise I might send it down the road.

    I unstuck this thread. Not sure why it was stuck in the first place. Just a normal thread as far as I can see.

    I agree with you on the Finezza Prototype. It is a great rod but certainly not a lot of fun on panfish. I will most likely keep mine for targeting Smallies...big white bass.

    This thread is more than just a normal one to me.

    This, the JDM line and JDM Reels stickies are why I came here, why I stay.

    I believe part of why they are so active is because they are stickies.

    I don’t think I’m alone in this opinion.
