I just received this rod. Very impressed tbh. Was a little apprehensive 160 quid for a china rod but the quality is outstanding. Up there with my shimano poison adrena rods which are twice the price.
@@AndrewsKnotsYeah, I actually prefer my rod to bend, unlike bass rods. Is there any way to distinguish them? The "dance" is a bit long for my preference, but the bend itself is a good factor, especially for SW. Do you have any shorter recommendations that maintain the same high-quality carbon and guides, or even with moderate or moderate-fast action? Or should I just get the "Dance" even though it might be a bit too long? I’ll be getting the ML version. Appreciate your work Andrew!
I have the 261cm 7-56gram and they say it is extra fast but it is not even a fast action the tip bends like a moderate fast action and the rest of the rod bends also. It is absolutely not extra fast which i don't mind to much. But it is annoying that pure lure does state things for there rods that are not true. I did pick up purelure stream rod and it says it was ultra light but it is a medium action rod. That was crazy. This flight dance i got looks good but not to sure how good it really is because they say it is fancy carbon but i got a much cheaper rod and that one feels way more sensitive and much faster action. I was lucky i got the rod for 100 euro bought it from a friend that did not like the rod. He buyed it for 200euro so not to bad
@@AndrewsKnots Yes. I think i am gonna use this rod for jigging softbaits for river zander. I think it is perfect for that. Also that the rod bends pretty far can be good for if i use thin wire hooks instead of 2x wire.

Cool. Glad you like it and thanks for sharing!
Me too - I already purchased the FD-80MFS and the FD-100MHFS. Really top quality and performance rods ! And awesome sensivity...
We surely need to see more videos of this rod! Would say this is the nicest rod you've ever had? how does it compare to the wild?
It doesn't. The Wild is true "US bass" rod - extra fast with and very little bent past top 1/3 of the rod.
I'm not paying $900 for 8ft7 lol for a cheap shit name brand

Wish they made it in a shorter version
Exactly, Im looking for another recs or I might even get it the length might benfit me
My guess is that they will use this M40X carbon/carbon handle setup for other rods soon.
How is the rod in shore jigging?
Very good.
Plse send a link to Orvis hoodie.

@@AndrewsKnots sorry I meant which length and power?
I couldn’t bring myself to pay £159 for a rod from Ali express 😂
Cool. Thanks for sharing 😎
