Picked up 2 inexpensive JDM rods to replace recent breakages. A Daiwa Mebaring X 74UL-S and a Major Craft Crostage Mebaru CRX-S732UL, both worked out well. I should have got the S76UL Crostage. It's a light rod that you can cast jigs well with. Got both rods from Asianportal, free shipping, and it took a week. Have a SHIMANO 19 Salty Advance MEBARU S76UL coming from express-japan.
