Hell everyone!

 

I purchased a Shimano expride 7'2" MH about a year ago and it has been my absolute favorite rod ever since! I'm currently in the market to get a Medium power version now, and was hoping to get the 6'10" version but cn find it absolutely nowhere in stock. I was wondering if anyone had experience with the 6'6" version, s it is currently in stock or if anyone had insight to any differences that might come with this difference in length? These are expensive for me so I want to get the one I want, but if there is not really much of a discernable difference, or if anyone has any idea where/when this model might be available, then I may end up going for the 6'6" rod.

 

Thank you in advance for the responses!

What do you plan to use the rod for?

I dont have any experience with the 6'6" model, thats why i ask.

The 6'10 med is a excellent rod and worth the wait, depending on your technique.

Mainly throwing weightless plastics, topwater, and cranks! Decided I am going to wait. Thanks!

The 6'10 med will be great for topwaters and crankbaits.

It will not be as effective for soft plastics due to the moderate action.
