NEW Shimano SLX A Glass rods

Featured Replies

Never used a full glass rod before so looking for some feedback on these specifically from people that have used them. I figure for 100 bucks they are worth a try.

I have the MH for small/mid size crank baits, You cant get better rod with this price, I paired it with SLX DC as well for wind conditions and it is working very well and also it is matchy matchy, Haha... 

Good luck.

Is it noticeably more heavy than your typical graphite rod?

it is definitely heavier than same carbon rod, But this specific rod is not heavy like curado glass rods and for sure so much lighter than Abu veritas glass rods. So I recommend it to you. 

If y7ou want I can weigh it for you when there is no rain outside, it is pouring here and I dont want to go out to get it from my truck.

I've got the 6'10 ML, it's not overly heavy and a good rod for 1/4oz cranks. I've only been fishing the last week cause of the ice so I don't have a whole lot of experience with it yet. I was surprised with how thick it was when I first got it.
