Took my rod to work put it on the scale in the lab weighed 4.02oz. 

Which model?

  • Super User

I own  7' LMH/MF spinning and a 6'8" LMH/MF casting Magnesium 2's.  I see them as a MH bottom end with a light tip.  I use them as all purpose rods.  I've thrown 3/4 oz crankbaits with them as well as Neds on a 1/10 oz jig head on both with good distance and without issue.

 

I hang a Pflueger Supreme XT on the spinning rod and a 6.6:1 Concept A with Concept Zero bearings in it.

 

I really like both rods.  

Bought a h3 71mhxf over the winter and finally fished it today. Gotta say, it’s a great little rod. Nice crisp fast action, feels light in the hand and has great sensitivity. I bought it to fish single hook reaction baits but I had no qualms doing some light pitching and casting a t-rig.

I have both the same rods/models and would agree- great multi purpose sticks. I’ve thrown just about everything on them. They aren’t in the rotation since I got Megabass Destroyers however. I’ll need to compare them again. Current multi purpose rod is a Javelin.

I just mentioned this in a different thread, but I have the 7' LMH and it feels like a jack of all trades type rod. I wouldn't use it for jigs or t-rigs in heavy cover, but it'd do well in open water with a football jig or big shakeyhead. I'd also use it for spinnerbaits, chatterbaits, and squarebills. Hopefully I can put it to a better test this weekend. So far I've just had it on small water.

Update: got a birthday check from my parents, so I ended up ordering the 73LMH. It may be a little tip heavy but truthfully when I am dialed in on my fishing I don't really notice a little tip heaviness.  I Will likely throw a chronarch MGL or JM platinum signature on it for now.

Even the zbone is little bit tip heavy.  

I own the 2019 LMH Zbone with a Stella FJ 2500...it is tip heavy

I had the 6'9" and thought it had a weird taper. I actually really disliked that rod.

Great Rods. I have the H3 7ft 3 MH . Can't think of much it wouldn't do but I use it as a 1/2 oz. football head rod for the most part. Balances fine with a Curado 70.

 Sensitivity is about like a GLX. The NFC blanks are great.
