Well,... My wife and I decided to hop in the car and head down to Evansville IN (Home of ALF) to get out of the house. They had some rods in their used section I wanted to check out, plus I kind of like just looking at their used rods and reels. Never know what you can stumble across!

 

Ended up getting a very nice price on the following rods, all in excellent shape and have already initially paired them up with some reels I have that I think may work well.

 

St Croix Legend Glass 6'10"MM  - Put my 6spd Zillion on there for a nice smooth cranking setup.

Kistler Helium 7'0" MF - Put my 7spd Tat SV70 on there with some weightless 4" stickbait or maybe light texas rig

Megabass Levante 7'2" F5 72LV Diablo Spec R - Put a 8spd Curado 71 MGL on it for now, but don't really know what to use this for... Just liked it.

 

This is my first Megabass rod. Any suggestions for the Levante? As I said,... I don't have much history with them but have plenty of reel options to try different setups.

 

Open to suggestions!!

Diablo spec R is a good first choice in the Levante line up.    It’s a good chatterbait rod.    I have 5 Levantes.   They’re nice rods.  I enjoy them more than I thought.   My favourite in the line up is the perfect pitch.
