Get the slx DC xt is has the dc5 breaking system and is around 175 from Japan

It's a fun reel I have 20lb braid on mine

The new line of Shimano scorpion 200 MD or 300 MD are solid options

Tactical bassin has tons of videos where they say it's one of the only bladed jig rods they use

Berkeley x9 in 40lb. Daiwa x8 grand 50lb. Both made noise. I think I even tried 131 just couldn't get rid of the noise. But yeah it's a really nice junk rod. Was able to keep a 3 foot pike pinned with a weightless fluke

It's crazy light weight but I can only use mono or fluorocarbon on it. Braid is way too loud going through the guides only rod I own where it's an issue. I used it from weightless flukes too bigger walking baits.

Daiwa has released there next Gen blx rods. They have a 6'3 and a 6'5 frog rod. I have the blx SC 69mh coming

I go really finesse I have a steez 66ul with a airity sf2500qd .6 x-braid. I normally use 4 inch plastics with a .9 gram head.

Take a look at the JDM steez grey ghost 66 up. Amazing little rod. Rated up to 1/8 ounce. I have 782 nrx+. I can throw under 1/8 ounce but it's not as smooth as the steez Sorry I have the 852 jwr

I have one for ice fishing works really well holds plenty of 4lb mono.

I have 300 MD with the big handles on the Valkyrie World Expedition 6'6" xh I use it for big top waters and middle size glides. I have 25lb mono on it cast really well and the bigger handle works well for working glides

I have a Antares 70a 6 speed on a raid gladiator Maximus Baltoro Heat 2. It's an amazing junk fishing combo.

Daiwa rebellion 6'10" MH mod fast I have the 2 piece amazing 200 dollar rod

They should have the new slx 70 with the mgl 3 spoll

I have .6 pe on my airity 2500 sf qd. On my steez gray ghost. Amazing combo for light mid stroll and small weightless plastics

I have the 18 md DC. It is really fussy on lures less than 1/2 ounce

I really like my daiwa steez stratofortress 68. You can cast a 100 size walking bait up to a megadog x. Also works good with rio ricos and pop max.

Megabass orochi xxx cover hacking is rated to 1.5 ounces. Solid jig rod and topwater. It's 6'8"

I really like my Shimano complex xr 2000

JDM steez stratofortress 68. Amazing rod from throwing DRT tiny klash to 1/4 ounce swim jigs.

I really like my Shimano complex xr 2000 on my ul steez grey ghost I have it spooled with .6 pe. The drag is crazy smooth

Daiwa steez machine gun cast type 1 is amazing square bill rod and mid depth cranks. Also works for bladed jigs swim jigs spinnerbaits also sensitive enough for wacky worms

I have a 6th sense esp 7'3" extra heavy fast. Works amazing for frogs also has a longer than normal handle

Megabass is pretty accurate on lure ratings so I would say 1/4
