Anyone have this rod? Billed as a bigger squarebill and bladed jig rod. I been having success on some of the bigger squarebills lately and figured I’d give it a shot. Just curious if there is any feedback on it. I’ve heard it’s very light for a glass composite rod. Will have it in a few days but not sure when I’ll be able to fish with it.

I have the first gen model of this rod. I use it for my heavier crankbaits, but I could definitely see it used for bladed jigs if you like that parabolic flex, but I prefer a faster action for bladed jigs. Definitely light for a glass rod and I have no problem chucking and winding it a lot. I don't think you'll be disappointed with it.

Sounds like the second gen is a little faster. But I got it primarily for crankbaits so if it’s good for blades jigs too that’s just a bonus. Currently I also throw my blades jigs on a graphite rod. We’ll see.

IMHO, it’s probably the sickest bladed jig rod you can buy. I also use it for mid depth Crankbaits and larger Squarebills.

The Expride version is talked about a lot, but I prefer the Adrena. For a glass composite rod, it’s very light (4.7 oz), which makes it very fishable for long days, and the components and build quality are topnotch.

Been throwing a lot of 1/2oz-1oz squarebills this spring so that’s why I got it. Should be right in the wheelhouse, correct? I’ll be testing bladed jigs on it too and I’ve only heard good things about it for that technique.

I got the rod and was able to fish it yesterday. I only threw crankbaits, but based on the taper I can see how it would be a great bladed jig rod like Midwest Angler stated. The top 1/3rd is very bendy then it shuts off. Surprising amount of power for a glass composite rod. I did catch one small bass on a Megabass z3 crank with #8 treble hooks that I was able to land without issue. I really got it for 2.0 and 3.0 size squarebills which it will be good for. I can also see it being good for mid depth cranks and should be perfect for chatterbaits.

Figured I’d post feedback in case anyone else is considering this rod.
