Nice , I have both Washas 1704 r2 , red from 2018 and blue limited 2023. The feet on the limited Washa butt section bent almost broke accidentally after minimal pressure on the guide when I tried to separate the 2 pieces . It should not have bent like a candle , but otherwise very sensitive blank..of course now I like super red more ..
Assessment: out of all my rods : Designo, Raid Japan Gladiators, MB destroyers , Sinfini , Grassroots knives , Shimano Poison Glorious, Shimano expride , Tulala , Studio Composite , Daiwa Steez King Viper , Jackall revoltage ll ...The WASHA AND DESIGNO ARE MOST SENSITIVE
