I have the 1st gen of this rod and been using it with an SLX DC as by jerkbait rod for the past 3 seasons. I have been waffling on stepping up to an expride or Slasher by Alpha Angler. I just have a hard time pulling the trigger when this rod works. Thank you for doing a comparison of the two.
I found that the SLX is AMAZING for its price point! Sensitivity is more than enough for the average angler. I like the expride for more subtle bites because of the almost electric sensitivity difference, which I wasn't able to discern years ago, but experience allows the expride to really come out on top! Just wait until you fish a poison glorious or a NRX+, It's even better!
@TackleCrew - I wish they'd release the Glorious here. The Ultima from what I hear is the same just slightly different taper. I don't own an NRX or PG, just the Adrena, but from what I hear, the others are even better! I like the handle on the Utima the best! I've got a whole lineup of Edge rods, and the Epitome rod is amazing! X-Ray blank and recoil guides. It's a MH but has a M+ top taper, fast tip, mod fast rod taper. It's more sensitive than the adrena and probably NRX range but a different feel from what I hear from a buddy who used it next to his NRX since sensitivity is subjective
Thanks for yhis review. I was looking for a replacement for my Googan Gold that snapped on a snag. Really like that rod but wanted to try something different.
We did! I honestly think the action of the rod is closer to the Expride than the M. But the rod is a lot bulkier, weighing in at 137g (4.8oz) so it has a very different feel.

This was such a niche review but exactly what I was looking for! Thank you
Great to hear 👍🏻

Yes, would love to try an NRX+. Poison Glorious is not available in our marked..at least not yet. They are bringing more and more over here 👍🏻

DId you also try the SLX 6'10 MH (7-21g)? If yes, how does it compare to the Expride 6'10M? Great video. Regards!

@@TackleCrew thans for the answer! Strange thing with the weight.. Shimano catalouge says it's 107g. Some shops say it's 115.
filmed in Sweden?
Yes Sir
