I found a $39 rod that looks great but that saying about looks being deceiving is screaming at me. Might go nose around at mudhole for something a little better than average.
I really don’t think you would like the 6’ Presso .
Victor uses a 7’6” Presso for float fishing. .
In the 5 and 6’ lengths they’re a little stiff IMO . The 7’ travel rod is heavy.
Edit:
Just did a wiggle test on the six footer and it feels tip heavy and a little dead .
I bought them when they were fairly cheap and kept trying different lengths trying to find one I liked . Never found it .
Bought a 5’6” and a 6’1” latest model Daiwa Procyon and they xtra xtra fast with what feels like a solid tip .
I liked the older model Procyons. .
And the other US Daiwa UL offering, the Spin-matic breaks too easily.
