Just bought the spinning rod and I'm impressed with how it feels. I'm in new hampshire so its cold still, can't wait to try it. Thanks for the review. New subscriber here.
Excellent rods and I'm almost embarrassed to say I stocked up incase they discontinue the line. Light weight, balanced, durable and affordable. Can't ask for much.
I don’t blame you I have three right now wouldn’t mind to have a couple more. The 7 foot medium is a amazing top water rod for spooks. I like the spinning rods if you watch any of our river floats Hunter uses the spinning rod every time. Thanks for watching we appreciate it hope you enjoy the rods good luck fishing
@@joshandhuntersadventures5046i have researched lots of rods, i have 5 years of experience mostly fly fishing. i wanted a nice finesse rod and after this video you've convinced me to get one. cant why to try it out using dropshots and toyko rigs.
why would you be embarrassed about that. These are great rods i literally just put a daiwa zillion 21 sv on one of these 😂. A $300 reel on a $50 rod . What’s that say about these rods
I think they are great rods I really like them for the price that they are. Thanks for stopping by and commenting and watching the review we appreciate it good luck fishing
I have 3 of these rods and Ive fished them for 2 years without problems. My Dad is getting back into fishing since he recently retired and we are getting him these rods. The only slight complaint I have on these is the lure rating maximum weight is a bit off. The medium casting rods are rated for 3/4 oz but when Im tossing something 1/2 oz the rod tip feels maxed out, the medium heavy feels that way at 3/4 oz and the heavy maxes out at about 1 1/4oz. Zero complaints with the spinning rods.
I have a medium that I throw topwater with and it performs really well and the I also have a heavy that I have been using with swimbaits that has done well and I agree the spinning rods are great we really enjoy them. For the price they can’t be beat in my opinion thanks for stopping by and watching
Ya they was fish jumping everywhere when we were filming the video. I really like the rod you can’t beat it for the price. Pick you one up. Thanks for watching!!
I don’t have any experience with the St. Croix but I will say I think that for the price of this rod it would be hard to beat the Daiwa in this price range. Are you able to put both in your hands?
I have both Aird X casting an spinning rods legalis 2500D on spin an tatula ct on casting an I 100% am amazed with them cought 100s of fish with them sense I’ve had them. An then being a 1 piece rod makes them that much better
Yes they are great rods for sure i really like them. I am a big fan of Daiwa and have done reviews on a few of there rods and reels I really like them. Thanks for stopping by and watching we appreciate it
I like the medium for the Ned rigs it fits my style a little better. They are great rods for the price. Thanks for watching and good luck with your purchase
Ik people say they run a little on the light side. If I was to buy a diawa aird x casting rod for jerkbaits, smaller crankbaits, and finesse applications,would u recommend a MH fast or a M Fast (Ik I should get a fiberglass rod for crankbaits but I don’t have that kind of money)
Me personally I would go with the medium action for jerkbaits and you can use it for topwater also they really are great rods for the money we appreciate you stopping by and watching
Hi, thanks for the review, I do allot of panfishing and walleye/sauger/white bass, I throw allot of 1/8 ounce and crappie jigs. Do you think I'll be ok with the 7' medium light spinning? Thanks
I have that spinning rod in the medium light action and I love it. Its great for drop shotting because of the sensitivity. I just broke my frogging rod that was a berkley lightning shock in medium heavy. Do you think this rod in the heavy fast action would do well as a replacement? I don't have thick grass mats to fish with the frog so I don't need a broom stick.
@@XXX-cn7gj Yes I did purchase the heavy 7 ft version and I love it for frog fishing. It definitely feels like a better rod than the berkley lightning shock.
I don’t personally own any of the Vendetta. These are light though I really like them I have a few of them and they are good rods. I believe you would like them and for the price they are really good thanks for stopping by and watching we appreciate it
That's strange that the hook keeper on the spinning version is at the bottom compared to the casting version which has it above the reel. I much prefer it above the reel
No just use a Albright knot if you are using braid to fluorocarbon but this rod usually has straight monofilament on it so the knot never gets close to the guides.
They both are really nice I feel like the Duckett has it beat a little but it is a $100 rod also but the Daiwa is worth every penny for sure. Really it just depends on how much you want to spend
Hey quick question I’m new to bass fishing so I’m thinking about buying the Aird-X / 7,0 / Medium with a Daiwa Revros LT 2500, would that be a good combo?
That is the exact same spinning combo that is in this video it is amazing go check out some of our river fishing videos and watch Hunter fishing with it and how they handle big smallmouth you will love them. Got any questions please ask I will try to help you best I can. I have some beginner bass fishing videos coming out shortly so make sure you are following us so you can learn more about bass fishing
Got you bud i look forward to checking your channel out. Im a trapper and a fly guy so ill be doing fly fishing and tying videos too. Check you out soon.
They are true to action in what I have found really for the price you can’t go wrong very good rods for the money the medium action I have is really a amazing topwater rod. I would recommend you try one for yourself I think you will enjoy them
Hi I’m new to fishing on the page where I’m purchasing this rod it says my Rod is a 702MLXS. It says the rod is a medium light action and it also says the taper is X fast ? What does that mean. I want to buy a rod for lure fishing. I bought a few lures sugar pen 95mm etc. what do you recommend and why ?
@@joshandhuntersadventures5046 I’m confused I thought there was either a spinning rod or bait caster rod. What’s a casting rod ? The rod I purchased is a spinning rod. I just wanted to knowing if the rod I purchased is good for using top water lures.
Mine recommends 3/8 through 1oz but I only use 1/4 or weightless because it bends the rod and half, I also only use 1oz spooks and I couldn't cast, overall I wish it could handle more baits but it does handle big fish goof
In my opinion 100 times better. These are great rods for the money. Check one out for yourself and I think you will see how nice they are. Thanks for watching we appreciate it
Great rods for the money. Inuse the medium for whopper plopper and it never fails me. Check out the short clip of it I posted a few days ago on my channel.

Just bought the MHF casting rod and absolutely love it
Great rods for the price I like the ones we have honestly probably pick up a couple more soon thanks for watching I hope this video helped you out
I'm due for a new bass rod. Lol. Mine is shot. Good review man. I love the spinning rods. I'm no good with bait casters.
They are great rods. For the price you can’t beat it. Thanks for watching!!
Got one a month ago. Its spectacular. Gonna probably get another tomorrow. Honestly comparable to shimano expired.
They are very nice rods for the money glad you are enjoying yours thanks for watching
I just got the arid x and threw my curado dc on it, i honestly like it better than the curado rod I have. Gonna keep it as my go to combo 💯
I think they are great rods I really like them for the price that they are. Thanks for stopping by and commenting and watching the review we appreciate it good luck fishing
Just bought one. I will comment after a catch!
Awesome look forward to hearing what you think.
7month of not catching anything is rough. Never stop trying 💪
Just picked up the 7' Daiwa Aird X today can't wait to put it to ACTION!!!
I hope you enjoy it so far all the ones I have I really like them great price point also thanks for watching we appreciate it
Hows it holding up 3yrs later?
@Spike_-rx7bx
I actually had a guide insert accidentally break off.
Nice rod, but unfortunately, it did not last long.

saw that fish jump at 6:56 ;) im going to pick up this rod for sure.
Ya they was fish jumping everywhere when we were filming the video. I really like the rod you can’t beat it for the price. Pick you one up. Thanks for watching!!
Josh And Hunter’s Adventures you think it’s worth it to spend the 50 extra for a st croix triumph spinning instead ?
I don’t have any experience with the St. Croix but I will say I think that for the price of this rod it would be hard to beat the Daiwa in this price range. Are you able to put both in your hands?
awesome video man, very informative video, with some great rod and reel combo ideas, thanks for sharing, I just subbed!
Glad you enjoyed the video definitely a great rod for the price. And thanks for the support!!
What’s the Best action for bass on the spinning reel version? I don’t want something to flimsy
I like a medium for almost everything I do have some medium heavy for certain things. But 99% of my rods for spinning is medium
I bought 1 super great. Seems really good for me. I was fishing for grayling. And it's really fun. Super smooth
They are great i hope you enjoy it. Good luck fishing!! Thanks for watching!!
I have the Mach crush on my rod 😁
Is that the red reel from Lew’s?
It's the orange 1
Ok that is a good reel to. Again thanks for watching!!
I have the same spinning combo...awesome reel...that thing casts a mile. Good rod too
They are good both rod and reel for the money are really good. Thanks for watching!!

I only got this because it is collapsible. I do a lot of traveling and enjoy having my gear with me. Works fine
Yes they do make a 2 piece rod although the rods in this review are not the 2 piece they are the same brand though thanks for stopping by and watching
Just paired an daiwa aird x rod with a 2500 bg reel. Perfect match and for $160 its great. Casts a mile with little effort
That is awesome love these rods for the money you can’t beat it thanks for stopping by and watching
What size and action rod did you go with?
I’d like to try out one of the spinning rods. Would you recommend their medium or medium light for Ned baits?
I like the medium for the Ned rigs it fits my style a little better. They are great rods for the price. Thanks for watching and good luck with your purchase

I would give it a shot I think 1/8 would be fine hope you enjoy it they are nice we appreciate you stopping by and watching
@@joshandhuntersadventures5046 thank you. Went ahead and ordered it.
@@danielcondon1607 awesome I’m sure you will like it
I just got the casting model in 7ft medium heavy. Going to put my bass pro qualifier 2 on it.
That is awesome that is going to make a great combo. I hope you enjoy it they have been great rods for us. Thanks for watching we appreciate it

Yes I think this rod will do fine. If you can get to the store and handle it to feel the action before purchasing that would be great. Good luck
I don’t know if you purchased yet as this comment is 9 months old, Heavy 7, is differently my preferred option over medium heavy.
@@XXX-cn7gj Yes I did purchase the heavy 7 ft version and I love it for frog fishing. It definitely feels like a better rod than the berkley lightning shock.
Ready to order one of these and curious to know how much the medium 7ft spinning weighs? Are these lighter than Abu Garcia Vendetta?
I don’t personally own any of the Vendetta. These are light though I really like them I have a few of them and they are good rods. I believe you would like them and for the price they are really good thanks for stopping by and watching we appreciate it
That's strange that the hook keeper on the spinning version is at the bottom compared to the casting version which has it above the reel.
I much prefer it above the reel
Most spinning rods are below the reel. Pretty sure every spinning rod I own is below. Thanks for watching it’s a great rod
Just wondering how about the crossfire rod, comparing to this one
I have not tried that rod so I can’t really speak for it but this one is a great rod don’t be afraid to jump on this one
Just bought this rod. Do you know any other good spinning reels to pair this rod with that are not too expensive? Thanks.
Thanks for watching and yes I would recommend looking at the Daiwa Revros. It is a amazing reel for $50. I think you will be impressed.
Great video I have the casting rod and it’s great
They are great rods! Thanks for watching!!
Any issue with the knot passing through the guides??
No just use a Albright knot if you are using braid to fluorocarbon but this rod usually has straight monofilament on it so the knot never gets close to the guides.
I grabbed up a few they were on sale here at my local shop diawa ct was 90$ and the aird x were on sale for 40$
That is a awesome deal right there
What rod do you like the best, the Duckett Silverado spinning or the Diawa Airdx?
They both are really nice I feel like the Duckett has it beat a little but it is a $100 rod also but the Daiwa is worth every penny for sure. Really it just depends on how much you want to spend
@@joshandhuntersadventures5046
Thank you for the quick response. Hello from Southwest Colorado 😎
Love these rods and they look beautiful to
For the money they are awesome I like them thanks for stopping by and watching

@@joshandhuntersadventures5046 Just one more question, I’m lookin at another 7’, medium action rod, with that size should I use a 2500 reel?
What we’re you using for line on the spinning rod?
Had braid on it with a fluorocarbon leader attached. Hope this helps thanks for watching
awesome review man
Thanks!
You got a bite on your other pole!!! Lol. It fell over and looked like something took it.
I seen that lol. That would have been funny seen the rod just go flying out in the water lol.
At first I really did think you had a bite. We have had to many poles taken from carp pulling them in the water. Sucks man.
Got you bud i look forward to checking your channel out. Im a trapper and a fly guy so ill be doing fly fishing and tying videos too. Check you out soon.
Awesome thanks for checking me out and thanks for the support!!!
Good afternoon my friend. they sell this rod as if it is extra fast. is this information true? is the rod really hard?
They are true to action in what I have found really for the price you can’t go wrong very good rods for the money the medium action I have is really a amazing topwater rod. I would recommend you try one for yourself I think you will enjoy them

The rod I purchased is a spinning rod. I just wanted to knowing if the rod I purchased is good for using top water lures.
You could try it normally I throw topwater on a medium rod but give the ML a try and see
@@JamesIbby casting is a Baitcaster rod
I have the 7'3 mh fast and I can't use anything over 3/8oz I only use mine for worms
I have used these for chatterbait and keitech swimbaits some works pretty good I also have a medium they is amazing topwater spook rod
Mine recommends 3/8 through 1oz but I only use 1/4 or weightless because it bends the rod and half, I also only use 1oz spooks and I couldn't cast, overall I wish it could handle more baits but it does handle big fish goof
Can i use 52g lure on this?
I’m not sure what a 52 is what exactly is that?
@@joshandhuntersadventures5046 I asked can i use 52 grams lure on this?
The heavy action you can use lures up to 1 1/2 ounces so that should work I think 52 grams is pretty close to that
@@wyattjames2391 this one is a heavy action rates to 1 1/2 ounce
I just picked one up for $29. Couldn't pass
That is a great deal I know you will like it.
Damn bro where’d you get it?
@@Guero96 that is a great price
Is the Daiwa better than an Ugly Stick?
