Solid rod - Striped bass and blues

Liam
2 years ago

Used my coastal sp for bass and blues, caught a 35lb striped bass on it so it can handle the mustard. Ended up snapping it when a seal grabbed my bluefish off Nantucket, cool looking rod, casts great, not sure how these other guys broke them so easy, it took a 300lb seal to finally add it to my rod-graveyard.

Great rod, needs little better design.

The rod was great for the money, I feel like it could’ve used a 50/50 split instead of 70/30. Seems all the backbone is in the bottom half.

I picked this rod up for lighter tackle shore fishing and i really enjoy it. I can still get pretty good distance if i'm throwing 1/2 oz jigs but the sweet spot really is that 1 1/2 oz to 2 oz range. Landed a 30 lb striper with it on my first outing with it throwing a weightless sluggo. Flicks it out there no problem. I do wish the butt section was a tiny bit thinner like the emblem… read more but that's just me being picky. Good stick.

Unfortunately, I have had issues with the 10'6 1-4 oz rated rod. First time breaking it the top piece broke between the first and second guide while fighting a decent sized Jack Crevalle. I sent the rod back to Daiwa through warranty and received a new one 2 weeks later... same model. After 2 months it finally broke again when pulling up a 5 lb bluefish from the jetty. A couple… read more well known youtubers have reviewed this rod and received multiple reports of the medium 1-4 oz models breaking.

Personally, I would recommend the MH 10ft to match with the Daiwa Emblem Pro EX 5000. But, if you prefer the 9ft and want to shy away from looking into purchasing the 10ft than definitely go with the 9ft MH. It would handle the reel nicely, I just think t
