Anyone have a Shimano Zodias 6'10" ML?

Featured Replies

Does anyone have this rod and can give honest feedback?  

I am looking for a bottom contact light jighead + curly tail/minnow/fluke/grub/tube trailer. The jighead will mostly be 1/8th oz and trailers are mostly 2 inches long. 7 to 8 pound flourocarbon on a Shimano Aldebaran.

I've read that the 610ml Zodias feels more like a M than a ML. Is that true? I wonder how it compares to the Phenix Recon 6'8 ML and O/\/\3N Black ML.

I have a 6'10" Zodias ML and although it isn't quite a medium power, it's close, and it would be perfect for the uses you are talking about. If you have anymore questions, I'd be glad to answer.

How light can it go and still load enough to launch lures? How is sensitivity and balance? 

Thats a perfect rod for those applications, the fluke and the ned rig are what it excells at. I have 4 zodias, light, medium light, medium and medium heavy. I can definetly tell a difference between ml and m. The ml is my favorite of all 4

I too am interested in the Zodias 610ML. How does it load with 1/8oz total weight?

Do you guys mind taking a picture of the balance point with a reel on? 

The rod is actually  only rated down to 3/16 oz.

I have mine with a Core  50.

I have thrown small Texas rigs with it. 1/8 weight   and skinny  6" worm.

The casting  seems  to be pretty  precise  with this rod.

 

Ill try to get a pic in a little bit. Its paired to a ci4+ so it balances perfect

I have this rod paired with the Aldebaran 51HG. I will try to get a picture of the balance if I go fishing later today.

Cool. Looking forward to the pics.

It balances right where the hook keeper is. It was hard to balance it with my finger
