My old man dropped an Abu JDM Fantasia Yabai casting rod, MH, 6’9” in my lap on Xmas and said, “I don’t know it, but the flex is weird and wonderful. You’re on your own for the reel bc I couldn’t at all find her a husband”. Why I think his metaphor of reels being masculine and rods feminine is bass ackwards, I appreciated his honesty (and the rod of course).
The rod has serious backbone and a big diameter despite being very light with an unnecessary 10-12 micro eyelets. He was right, grabbing the tip to flex it feels almost like a snappy silicone feel. Anyways, here’s the reel I went with, just slightly off the beaten path:
