I am planning on purchasing one of these rods but can't decide which. I currently have 2 of the last gen. Crucials and love the sensitivity, but hate the bottom tightening handle. Therefore, I was excited to see the new models no longer had it. While shopping on Tackle Warehouse, I noticed last year's Zillion rods were on sale. I've never had a Daiwa rod, but the few reviews that are out there seem to be positive. The purpose for this rod is casting jigs and soft plastics and sensitivity is my main concern.
