I bought 2, paired with my DC reels, wow what a difference , of course my wife found out and I have to listen to that

Just got the new model and I'm super satisfied with it!

Your assessment is brilliant as always! My son and i fish mainly with Shimano rods and find their price here in South Africa very competative and value for money. I know there are many good rods out there but i really love the Shimano.

Awesome video Lots of great information to your channel I love watching it. I just wanted to let you know that you forgot to mention the forward tilted Guides on the new rod you mentioned the change in color but did not mention that the new guides are tilted forward which is a new tangle free system.

These rods are super slick and have an amazing styling and finish

The second generation Shimano Zodias is one of my favorites right now. Good luck!

I'm looking at getting a zodias spinning rod on black Friday. I'm a bank fisherman and I throw ned rigs and drop shots from 1/8oz to 3/8 oz. What rod would you recommend the 7ft medium light or the 7ft 6inch medium. I'm looking for long casting and sensitive tip. Thanks

Should I get the 2020 excence DC or the 2021 scorpion DC? They are both around 300 dollars and I can’t decide. I have a metanium DC and I feel that maybe I shouldn’t get the scorpion dc because it might be too similar.

Although I do love my gen 2 it's my first rod over the $200 I thought I would be more sensitive I'm from pa so I throw a ned rig Neko rig alot for smallmouth and I wanted a good rod so I bought it but I have noticed that the sensitivity ain't quite there like I thought it would

Would u put it up against the old 18 outfitters suppersor iv got see this to see how good the rod really is

good afternoon, please tell me how do you think shimano zodias 270ml-2 cope with wobblers or jerkbait in size 110??

Hows this compare to the poison adrena?

I got the 7’5” MH paired with new Scorpion DC . Perfect match!!!! I love it!!!

Well, it's been 2 years. What are your general thoughts on it? Thank you

Any on the water results yet ?

Great video. Thanks.. Why aren't these rods in 2 piece? I don't have a boat and fish from the bank. I have a Explorer with a grandson in a car seat coming along. Hard to carry a 1 piece.

Really good value

The length of the handles depends on the length of the spinning rod. This dependence in both old and new Zodias, Exprides, Adren ... Длина рукоятей зависит от длины спиннинга. Эта зависимость как у старых, так и у новых Зодиасов, Экспрайдов, Адрен ...

Would you be so kind to review the 2021 daiwa blazon rod.

I just bought a Poison Adrena 7’3” and I’m completely in love! Pretty much selling my MegaBass rods to obtain the full lineup of the Poison Adrena

Are these rods better than the dobyns rods they have bfs rods too 1/16 - 5/16 7’0” cork handle that’s what I like about a rod $200 for a rubber handle I don’t think so

Are these durable for bank fishing? I've heard that they have a very breakable tip.

Spent over double the price of this rod on importing a 168ml poison glorious about a year later stumbled upon a zodias in a local tackle shop picked it up and to my surprise i didnt notice a huge difference even being two tiers ahead of the zodias i tried to find a list of the different features between the higher end rods like zodias, adrena, poison glorious and ultima and found it to be a little confusing... i love shimano rods though

Any updates?

I bought the 7'5" MH. It's a good rod. If you can afford it, step up to the Expride line. Best rods for the money.

Okay I just brought scorpion 🦂 mgl I need to pair it with a all purpose rod

7:27 carbon tape (x-wrap) thinner? It could be thinner and wider density compare to your own old model which is tighter and thicker since the power is different. Your new Zodias is ML which is more flex than your previous one with harder power M and H. 10:55 I can see another cosmetic addition i/e a hook keeper on butt section area just below the Eva grip Other points I'm agree with your opinion.

Was about to buy one from sportsman’s. Till the employee pulled one from the side that was broken and we both inspected where it broke and confirmed it broke on a fish. I then asked him what the customer bought after and he pointed at the rod I was buying a phoenix feather lol. Safe to say I don’t think I’ll be buying it and if I do it’s ONLY in 6’10 since it’s a bit stiffer

Have this rod in 7'2 medium fun as a zoom super fluke rod

Just bought the 7.2 medium on sale for 119.00 hope it performs as goods it looks.

Bass Pro Shops has a new baitcaster definitely the best-looking under $100

Put a metanium hg on my 6.10 ML newer zodias, came from Japan without a hook keeper and has the bulges where the old version does but doesn't have the old nickel finished guides....kinda like that old Johnny cash song about the Cadillac that had parts from several years on it.

I have only one of these but I still think my St Croix Legends Bass Tournament is a little better, and my 10 year old Shimano Cumara are still my favorite.

Waiting for my 7.6 7-21 for zander from ali...

Have you done a review on the SHIMANO 18 ANTARES DC MD XG? You do great work. Thanks.

If you are going to do a rod review would you please weigh the rods

You forgot the bait keeper.

So is anyone else having issues with these rods breaking??? I’m on my third one that just broke on me. The first one broke at the tip at that time my boy was working at BP so took it back. The second time I just got it back from warranty exchange two months ago or less. Fished with it around 3 times and I baby the damn thing. It broke a quarter of the way from the top while casting. This last time it broke in half while casting. All I use it for is throwing dead shrimp on a 1/16 jig head. It’s the 7’ MH so it should be more than enough rod for that. They travel with rod warrior neoprene covers and neoprene reel covers. All rods ride up in the cab of my truck so no slapping around in bed of truck. I have custom rods by fish stix, J&H and H&H that have never broke once. They treated great as well however not babied like this Zodias. I bought it for the fact that it looked great paired with the vanford. Which by the way is basically a brand new reel cause it spends more time sitting on the sidelines. This is a sad rod!!!

Seems suit to pair with your clamber hyper micro.. Haha

My ancient shimano Cumara is the best. Haven't found any other rod that is better when it comes to feel and sensitivity.

Make an review of the St.Croix Victory plss

I am interested ❤

Wow I like Zodias dream rod no afford

I still can’t understand why we need long split grips on a baitcaster when you only use 4-6” of the handle.

I have both generation…the second generation was better in my opinion. Very sensitive n got the best control

I have 6 of other original series

My 1st gen ml is more sensitive than 2nd gen

No rod weights !

I've got the new Zodias for $200 and a Megabass for $500. Almost identical in length but the Megabass has a lure rating of 1/4-1.25oz whereas the Zodias has 1/4-3/4oz I believe. Don't have the rods on hand. Honestly after fishing the Zodias I'm kicking myself for spending $500 on the Megabass. Neither is the greatest rod I've ever used but I'd take the Zodias over the Megabass Destroyer P5 all day.

Loved the old version. New version the butt of the rod is to light and makes it Feel awkward overall when casting and using in general. the original version with a split grip feels 10x better imo and better balanced.

Appreciate the new content. You have been using the same annoying (to me) back ground music for years! Do you have any plans to eliminate the music. Listening to you talk over it has become unbearable. 😵‍💫

IMO, the Zodias are overrated. I miss the older Shimano Crucials and Cumaras

у меня одного катушка хлябает при твиче? )) 1610м2

OLD VERSION IS BETTER

Lost me at the intro.
