Anyone here have any experience with the G Rod pro bass line? From what I have read the rod is very high quality and craftsmanship, crazy light, and top of the line sensitivity. The graphene in the rods allegedly makes them light, strong, and way sensitive but wondered if the claims are true or just a selling point. Sensitivity and balance are my top 2 priorities. 

Here is a copy of a review I did on the Game changer over at TT, there is a few reviews on the pro bass line TT even did a review on them and it's in the archive section.

 

  I ordered a G-Rod Game Changer 7' med hvy, and was able to put some turny time on the water with it this weekend.

For a comparison I used it against my ALX ZOLO's, I have the Toad face & Dragger and was looking to add a 7'ish rod to handle tubes T rigged worms or anything bottom contact in 3/16 to about 5/16 give or take, so I wanted to play with this rod to see if I could skip adding an ALX deputy.


The build is very nice, the guide train is straight nothing out of place. the guide are kinda big not micro for sure.

The rod looks great also not overly done cool enough for your buddies to ask what rod is that and want to check it out.

Balance it balanced right in front of the locking nut with a lew's TP, and a little closer with a Curado so for me it balances perfect

rod weight I didn't place it on a scale, but it wasn't has light in my hand as my 7'2" Toad face and no where close to a 7' Tatula

Sensitivity is very good, but not way above it's price point, it was just as sensitive as all the other rods in its price point I have used, but not in the NRX range of sensitivity

The rod action is stiff for a med hvy lots of tip and a boat load of back bone. it was the stiffest med hvy I have ever used it felt like it leaned towards a heavy action. I found it hard to cast 3/16 - 5/16 lures compared to all the other rods I have owned. ( Dyobins HP, NRX, Diawa tatula, Crono's, Zillion, ***, Powel.

the grip / locking nut is bigger than I expected it's the 1st rod I have ever used where after 30 or so min it became uncomfortable to me. I palm my reel where my index finger can touch the line, and i found it very uncomfortable. I used the rod with both a Lew TP & a Curado it was better with the TP since it has a smaller profile

 

I ended up getting rid of the rod, and going with the deputy

Thank ya for your input, much appreciated. 

Just wanted to pipe in on this. I’ve used both the casting 7’ mh and spinning 7”m heavily for two year now, and they are without question the best rods I’ve ever tested out. Particularly the caster. It’s senstivity IS bar none and it is stout. Very strong it vast lures 3x the rod rating with easy. Its so sensitive i can feel bites on slack line.
