jpb2187 Posted March 17, 2017 Posted March 17, 2017 I throw it on a 6'9" Kistler Magnesium TS ML, a Daiwa Ballistic 3000, and usually just 6lb Trilene XL. Would agree M is too heavy, I don't use braid because I hate the wind knots and apparently I'm too stupid to avoid them. Have tried a Fenwick HMG light action i think in either 6' or 6'6" but that one feels to short for my liking. Also have used a 6'11" Daiwa Tatula Spinning, ML, really liked that rod, but the tip is very very thin and I broke it off rather easily. Really liked the rod but didn't get another because I was afraid I would break it again.
Smallieguy87 Posted March 17, 2017 Posted March 17, 2017 I don't ned fish often but i do have a set up for it. The rod i use is an ALX IKOS shake 7 medllt. Always keep in mind that there is no real industry standard for rod power or tapper. As for line i find i use Yozuri Hybrid for just about everything jig and worm related. Yozuri #6 is what i have spooled for this set up on a Diawa Procyon 2500.
mixermarkb Posted March 18, 2017 Posted March 18, 2017 Hey Dave, what was the cheaper lews rod that you liked?

Fun sticks, not something I would necessarily want as my only Ned rod. The new Mach series has a couple of ML and a M that would work. Similar IM6. No8 Hellbent is another one worth a look. Usually under $60 and nicely finished. mixermarkb 1
mixermarkb Posted March 18, 2017 Posted March 18, 2017 Yeah, I could see a No8 working well. I bought one last year, can't remember if it was a M or a MH, for the wife/kiddo to drag tubes and centipedes with. It's a nice rod for the $$. dtrs5kprs 1
JF660R Posted March 18, 2017 Posted March 18, 2017 So, got an email about my points were going to expire...had to hit BPS. Turns out I have enough that this was free.

Just bought one of the 7' MH as a workaround for the shoulder. Not quite as much pop as I'd like, but it should handle a finesse jig or bigger shakey head.
timinmo Posted March 18, 2017 Posted March 18, 2017 Can one of you experienced Ned users explain to me why I don't want to "feel" whats going on?
