No, new unused. And yeah I'm pretty excited to give it a try. Still settling on what rod I'm going to pair it with. I wasn't going to go that expensive at first, but I watched one of the tackle advisor reviews for the reel and got a bit ahead of myself. Haha.

Thanks guys. I sent out a lowball offer earlier and the vendor accepted. Snagged the 2500 at 150. ?

Was thinking 2500 may be a better size in the event I ever decide to use it for something else. I can get a slightly better deal on the 1000, ~ $160, while closer to ~ $170 for the 2500. Thoughts?

I appreciate the input. Do you fish this rod regularly? And the price point being around 120 dollars or so? With the Tackle Warehouse sale I'd be willing to push my budget a little higher. Do you have any experience with their Ms-1 line? Or anything thing in the 200 range? Also, I don't really have many rods right now. How versatile is this for other finesse styles? I was actually pretty interested in the style of the Corrza, I hope Major Craft messages me back.

Glad to hear it does well. Is it still in use as a Ned Rig rod?

Update: Went to order the Coorza from Major Craft's website for 149 shipped, but they don't have valid payment options in my state? ( Nevada ). So now I'm open to suggestions, as the Coorza is no longer an option.

I see, I was just worried the ML would be a little too light from what I've heard about their ratings. I had also notice that they list this rod as Med Fast rather than fast, will this be a problem? It's a shame it's the last sale model available.

I'm looking into a light rod after doing some reading on the forums as finesse techniques like drop shot seem like they'd be fun to try. The Iovino Finesse spinning rod is a medium fast that is on the lighter side evidently, while the Corrza is a ML. With the Cyber Monday sale, prices are both down to within around 105-120 dollars or so. Anything else I should be considering in this range, that's within 50 dollars or so of these two? I won't pay more if there's not a noticeable difference in comfort/balance/performance, which I realize can be subjective. However, I don't have a dealer that carries these rods near me. I'm just getting back into fishing, and to give you an idea, I liked the feel of the 6'9'' HMG ML F the most after playing around with a few rods from St. Croix's Triumph/Premier line as well as Fenwicks HMG/HMX/Elite Tech Bass lines. I also appreciated the split grip on the elite tech which I think both of these rods have. If anyone has personal experience with these spinning rods, I'd appreciate your input on the matter.

Picked up a couple of these spinning rods for light cranks and swimbaits, I'll be fishing for striped bass and SM/LM. What price range/brands should I be looking at?
