Good message Mitch, and it is all true!

Hello, very good video, it is very instructive about these rods, and there is not much information about them on the internet. I am a fisherman from the north of Spain, and I was looking for a fishing rod that is sensitive to work with spoons, shallow and medium crankbaits and minnows from 1/4 to 1/2 oz, but that has enough power reserve to fight lake brown trouts up to 12-14 lbs max. I'm looking for a spinning rod in 2 sections. Do you think that the shimano curado in 7" and medium model can work for me? or is the 7.2" medium heavy model from 1/4 to 3/4 oz a better choice? Thank you so much.

It’s great for small jerkbaits

Awesome!

Any tricks for cobb this time a year. Taking my dad fishin

Okay man be honest. I want a jig rod that is light and real sensitive but don’t know if I should get the falcon or a mega bass levante or orochi(minus the thought of warranty)

One of the best jig and frog rods made IMO

it makes me want to use it more, so yes, its worth it

Good info bro but balancing a rod means nothing

This is a great analysis of that fishing gear addiction that I think every dedicated angler goes through, with me being one of them lol. I just picked up the St. Croix Legend Elite, which is one of the most sensitive and most comfortable rods I’ve ever fished with and IMO one of the finest rods out there. With that being said, why is it that I’m now looking into what other models of high end rods are out there like Megabass and G. Loomis high end rods…

Have you used the spinning rod yet?

Falcon rods are what I've been using for around 25 years... I think the NRX+ is a better rod but not enough better to spend the extra money on one. I own more Amistad rods from the BuCoo series to the Cara then any other blank including a couple of the Amistad extra heavies. Great video man!!!

i caught my first fish today it was a carp

Where you fishing at?

Lol that's funny.

Lol. That's funny.

Great video jus subbed

How do you like the poison adrena? Is it the B or an older one.

What a fire video

I just got a Maverick series 734c and I'm in love with it. It's such a well made rod you know it when you pick it up.

5:33 no good deed goes unpunished

Do you still own the Zodias or have you moved on from it?

Just ordered a Curado DC, I feel like pairing up this Curado 7ft medium would be a good setup

Why do you whip it after you cast ???

Save the spiders!!😆😆

Hey Mitch sorry I'm so late watching I'm switching over to schimino rods and reels. Love the rod build on the curado zodias expride rod's absolutely outstanding these rod handles on the zodius and expride s are insane. Thanks for the honest review I saw your review on the curado rod's Mitch this company is really building some fantastic rod's ci4 real seat Fuji k guides fazlite inserts and then the awesome curado blank perfectly balanced. Mitch I like those expride s as well and the zodius rod's. I'll have a collection of them very soon. God bless bud.

These two rods are the greatest duo tag team; I've had both of them. It is imperative to possess these two. I own the Levante Tour Versatile and the Zodiac MH 7'0. The Tour Versatile can do everything, with the exception of weightless lures, and the Zodias is better suited for those, in my opinion. When you're feeling jiggy, the tour versatile's slack line sensitivity is insane! However, if I had to pick just one, I would choose the tour versatile

Hey man just got into watching your videos. Why didn't I see you using the Nrx+? Did I just miss it?

Hello, does anyone know where the Levante is made?

I. Love. That. Lake. Believe it or not I caught a smallmouth on a bed there. Didn't know there were smallmouth there. Also WHERE DID YOU GET THAT SANDWICH.

NO, a better bottom contact rod sure but for the rest $150-200 rods work.

I’ve caught over 100+ fish on my youth pole ugly stick that I’ve had for the last ten years I bought for 50 bucks for a Christmas gift. The fish don’t know what kinda pole they are gonna get drug in on 😅

Did you win the tournament

When was this (what month of year) and where did you launch?

Bought my victory finesse couple days ago and it feels and light like NRX rod

I love my 2 curados and my 2 expride B. But for some reason I favor my curados more

Megabass is the Apple of fishing gear. Completely overpriced and standard quality at best

I'm about to purchase a Diablo Spec R and a Perfect Pitch but I can't decide between the Orochi XX and the Levante. Can you help?

Would you the Victory 6’8” MXF for skipping wacky?

Im gonna try these. While i love my JDM and American Shimano higher end rods, they are extremely plain looking for the money. If i pay for an expensive rod, I want it to look the part as well.

I got a 7 3 mh fast Rebellion on sale for 140 and am very happy with it. Casts great and very sensetive. Stupid light as well, been a great rod glad i found one in that configuration. Recomend for sure.

Would the 7’4” medium fast be stiff enough for weedless applications?

I bought a Levante Shakyhead and liked it. So I figured I'd get the Orochi version and it'd be that much better. The Levante was softer in action and not as crisp. However sensitivity wise there didn't seem to be that much difference. The Orochi seemed stiffer and more crisp. Really notice it on casting. The Orochi isn't on par with an Expride in terms of sensitivity, but it does have the same crispness. If I had to do it over again I'd just stick with Levante. The price difference between the two had me expecting a huge jump, but it really wasn't.

Eva vs carbon? I’ll go with the shimano

Awesome now try the shimano poison adrena.

Solid vid. Agreed, poison adrenas and exprides will definitely get the job done. But as a snob, i love fishing with my conquests,NRXs, AGSs,and P5s. Lol. Always will. The sensitivity is just too much fun.

Great video and very well done. Curious if you have purchased the “shakey head” model yet and/or heard any opinions from fellow anglers. Main information I want to know about this specific model is it is still a good drop shot rod? I want to use it for shakey head, wacky worm, etc (versatile rod) but want to know if I should buy the Megabass levante Shakey head, or go with a different brand “versatile” rod. No worries if you don’t have any info yet. Figured I’d ask tho.

How long did orochi xx whipsnake take on backorder for you to recieve it?

Great video. I agree 100%. I have around 10 or 11 Shimano Exprides. I have 3 higher end rods. Megabass and a G loomis. For the money and every day fishing the Exprides pound for pound hang with those others that are nearly if not a full double the cost. I don’t mean this ugly, i merely mean to say this to prove your point but add a little flare to it. If you can’t feel the bites on a $200 dollar rod. You in my opinion need to fish more and learn more instead of buying a NRX. I like high end stuff, but i like to have 1 rod to 1 technique. So i can’t have 15 NRX’s.

If you consider rods made by Shimano high end, more power to you. I personally DON'T!!!
