I bought a Levante a few months ago and it has a light high end feel that's awesome. I have loved Megabass tackle and lures for years, it was fun to transition into a Megabass rod. This channel prompted me to take that step. And it has been both fun and productive.

Great video. Would love to hear more on how you started your kids on baitcasters! Maybe an idea for future video🤷🏻‍♂️. I have my 9 year old on spinning now but it’s about time to introduce her to the casting world. Maybe a video on ideal setup for kids? Additionally maybe some detail on casting drills and how you set up the reel with the line due to the fact that some overruns are in the near future! Love the videos as always and keep up the great work

When I first heard about Victory they said they were lighter than NRX and I was kinda confused lol I have two and I’m very impressed. Def more sensitive than a Zodias. I’ve caught 10lb striper on mine in current and mine is the 7’3 MH Fast I believe with a Exsense DC and my other is a shorter M for bank fishing threw a Ci4 Chronarch on it for now But the weight comparison to the zodias is more accurate and I’ll say the victory seems to balance really well with any reel I own I’ve tried 3 Exsense dc , Chronarch mgl and a met 13 have all been on it and felt wonderful

Using a Tatula Elite 7'3 Brent Ehler right now as a jig rod. Finding the sensitivity isn't quite up to snuff. Which of these rods would you suggest as a replacement? I fish mostly lighter jigs for smallmouth. 5/16 to about 3/8th, sometimes a 1/2, and I fish dark sleepers like a jig too, bottom bouncing.

Hi Ben! Great video. I need your recommendation. I’m in SoCal and I only fish the bank. Pretty much only finesse and 90% drop shot. I currently use a Shimano Ultegra reel and a Dobyns Champion 6’8” ML spinning rod. It’s an OK rod, but my Shimano SLX is more sensitive. Maybe it’s the Extra Fast Tip. I’m looking for something in the $199 to $300 range.

Glad you made this after losing my P5 Destoyer in the lake I don’t think I’m going to dish out 500.00 on a rod anymore. Although I did love that rod, I kayak fish and I beat my rods to hell.

They’re very similar. Both have different feels where you grip - so it’s going to come down down to that. Personal preference!

@@thehookuptackle_usa I have a Diawa Kage it's awesome but I enjoy both Shimano and Diawa slowly been converting to Diawa I live in Chicago where one can't compare the 2 together so if you and coworkers can't take a vote on 1 of the 2 for sensitivity would appreciate it awesome video's lately 😀keep it up

I've noticed that around $200 the quality is more than double what a $100 rod is...I love my new Zodias rods! 6'10" medium mod fast is a great jerkbait rod!..and they added a hook keeper!
