Thread: JDM rods relating to Panfish

Using Finetail side by side with the Eradicator....fun factor about equal for the fight, but bite detection not the same for sure. Hard Pecks and violent strikes are obvious but the soft mouthed takes of the crappie are just that...soft and the fish are just on the line.

Nice report and beautiful fish. I had researched these rods since they came out. Wanted one but was on the fence. You know how it goes...what to get next. Thanks to Yodies input on the 67...and yours on the 610........I hit the buy button. With more time on the Lunakia I let my Corto go. The guy I sold it to could not believe it when he picked it up. Did not want to sell it but to keep buying have to move some of them. Keep the input coming.....for those of us who buy these rods it is very important.

Hey guys Ive been busy with getting my roof replaced(hail damaged). Then had an A/C go out on me. My boat also had to be serviced. So I've only been able to try my new JDM rods on my pond from the bank and my yard. Here are my observations so far. The Tict sram. It's going to be perfect for shooting docs. I've never used the technique before but I got a couple of hours practice in my yard sitting on a milk crate. With it's fast action tip it's a slingshot. The Tenru Lunakia is fantastic. It casts a 1/32 jig like a dream. Has a solid backbone for such thin rod. ABU Eradicator, I was kind of hesitant on this one at first. But all the reviews(new product of the year in Australia)etc. Plus Yodie's experiences with it. I bought it. It's a great rod(you will love it Alphahawk). All of these rods are light,sensitive and well balanced. If I was going to compare them to my best BC rods. Shimano expride,adreana, Diawa BLX black label, Dobbins extreme. They compare with the Shimano's and Diawa"s. They kick Dobbins butt. SO. Which one is my favorite so far? That's a difficult question to answer. Do you prefer blondes, brunettes or red heads? Hell I want them all! LOL. Thanks for everyone that helped me on this forum. Especially Yodie and Alphahawk. Jim

Which SRAM you get? I have the EXR-66T-Sis, an excellent dock shooter. I have also been using it as a finesse bass rod!

No eradicator today. Maybe sometime next week.

Recently purchased my first ‘better quality’ JDM rod, Tict Rockin Finesse. Amazing rod with a 1000 series reel. Light year ahead of my majorcrafts that I loved as far as sensitivity goes. This rabbit hole can go deep it see. Lol. My interest has been peeked on the eradicatior 67 for my next purchase. Concerns as it lists too casting weight 10gr on the sites —- not looking for something too heavy. Thoughts from the guys that have fished it. Thanks all.
