I know this is for Perch, but, A Grey's Prowla Platinum II 6'6" -110G. Just Magnificent. Grey's flyfishing heritage is clearly felt, perfectly balanced and throws like a 8' rod. Were sold around 2016-2018. Desperately looking for the other models in the lineup. Almost too good to fish with, if I break it I WILL cry.
Definitely the Expride 6'10" med. I can do soooo many different techniques with it. It's the best bang for the buck rod out there and I got mine new for $189.00 on sale.
Evergreen Kaleido Inspire Blas Raven SS TKIC-67MHST-F. This is a solid tip baitcasting rod with unimaginable sensitivity and almost all my perch over 2.5 kilo has been landed on this rod 🙂
SLX is nice to start with... Heavy jerks on your World Minnow/Diver, 110+1 or +2, perfect for this application. Zodias is nice to twitch more finessy, a softer tip to give those finesse lures the perfect action: Zumverno, 110JR+1 etc. As you say its also allrounder to do also some powerfishing, as the softer blank absorbs more energy, makes it comfi for chatterbait/cranks. Expride is the ultimate twitchrod to do both finesse twitching and heavier jerking. Poison is again bit stiffer like the SLX, perfect for heavier twitching but as it has better carbon technology (spiralxCore) and a full carbon monocoque (only one of these with FULL) its the most balanced and crisp of them all. That crispness and sensitivity gives you more feel and makes it just a joy to fish. So imo it depends on your fishing style which rod you prefer. But thats just my experience with all these rods.
I just found your channel and I am a Shimano for Life fisherman. I have each of these models and I completely agree with you. I’m retired and live in Raleigh North Carolina USA and I fish in 2 Bass clubs in tournaments. I love my Poison Adrena with a Metanium reel the most.👍🍀😎🍀🎣
Only warning I’ll add to video is that the fast action tips on the poison adrenas new series have a factory flaw or bad design, I own 4 total and my 2 fast action versions have snapped tips, I’m very good with my equipment and take exceptional care of all of it as it is expensive…. Factory replaced them but they are still in the shipping tubes they came from. Good video
What model? I own 8 of them and I've had no issues with them. I did have some tips break on Daiwa Steez and a couple GLX / Exprides, but I think I dodged a bullet so far with the Poison Adrena.
I have 3 of them and my favorite is the zodias. The expride is legit and light but day in and day out the zodias does everything I will ever need. It's landed 100s of 3lb+ bass and countless giant catfish by accident. Great rod overall for day in and out.
The comparison no one did before and everybody was waiting for. Nice video. About the rear handle length, are they as different as they seem on the thumbnail? Or is it just an effect from the angle of the picture?
Hey tackle crew I like the expride B's flipping stick because it's has that moderate -fast taper . I've heard that the curado, zodias, expride are all fantastic rod's. Me personally I like the expride.
I could not agree more for the Expride rods action vs Zodias! I have the Expride MH and the Expride L, so I searched for the Medium but could not find it localy and got the Zodias M instead... I regret my purchase for the Zodias, I don't like its too stiff action at all! Also I have the Poison Adrena but in spinning and not convinced despite the higher cost. In summary, Expride for me all day long!
Appears you're a big 6-10 medium fan. I'm curious for you to get your hands on the Raid Gladiator Anti Joker GA-610MC to compare to these. Very good video, thank you!
the Curado 6-10 Medium is an Outstanding Jerk Bait rod for the money. but I compleley agree that the Expride is the Finest 6-10 Jerk Bait rod made. I have all those models that you reveiwed and they all have thier places in my boat.
Smallmouth fishermen? It’s cool to see someone compare all these rods. I fish rivers for smallmouth so med and med light are my thing. I have the adrena it’s just a tad too fast my liking on finesse jerkbaits. It would handle the 110’s and up nice, I think. I built my own jerkbait bait rod from a north fork c602 3 power blank on a exo carbon handle and reel seat. Paired it with a bates hundo and it’s my favorite rod. The whole combo is 8 ounces.
Nice video! Huge shame that we cannot buy the 610M Poison Glorious or Poison Ultima here in Europe. These are the real high-end Shimano rods well above the Adrena
Can you guys not get them shipped to you? We have all these models here in the states including the glorius and ultima. ive ordered several rods/reels from shops in japan. I would think you guys should be able to do the same?
@@TackleCrew, it is indeed possible and I have been collecting high-end JDM tackle since 2002. However, shipping and sales tax can make it expensive for something you never held in your hands and don’t know if it suits you.
Those are all 2pc rods, way different than normal 1pc actions! I fish mainly exprides with the few "hidden gems" in the zodias lineup (7'5 heavy, 7'2 heavy, 6'10 Med Heavy) and accidentally picked up a 2pc expride at my local tackle shop and immediately thought it was a factory mess up! Way heavier, more moderate tapers and just all around worse rods... but to each their own but I'm always sticking to 1pc rods period! P.s. nearly all the guys that fish my tournament trail have had adrenas break out of nowhere multiple times, so praying these new 2024 adrenas will be wayyy more durable considering they shaved off another 1/3oz minimum on each rod, some as much as 5/16oz. We shall see but until then...tight lines!!!
I'm just wondering why shimano would say that adrena blank is a regular action 😅 that's what stopped me wanting one until I seen this video, but the guy talking about snapped tips also puts me off 😅 can't say any of my shimano rods have ever snapped though
Are all of these meant for treble hook baits? I was looking at the expride for lighter paddle tail soft swimbaits + jerk baits (110's). Is this not the best double duty?
Hello friend from Latvia,nice video about rods :) i want to buy expride 169H 14-42 gr for big jerk baits live deps 130sp and so on how do you think is this model will be ok ? I will use it with braid pe im bit worry or it will be ok cuz only model avaible atm here:( thank you for you answer
Generally I think the Expride can throw heavier than the specifications. You should be able to throw it without a problem. We have fished the 10-30g rod and even think than could do the job, but you are prob better off with the 14-42g
You skipped the Curado, which is a better jerk bait rod, in my opinion, over the zodiac. Maybe you don't get the Curado over there. I even take the Curado over the Expride for Jerkbait rod

I must say that i fish with mainly Shimano rods. I have a few curado rods, the slx and a few spinning rods as well. Love them.
Thanks for the comparisons. Makes decision making easier
👍🏻👌🏻
Got my poison adrena yesterday🤩 beautiful rod. Cant wait to test it🤩
👌🏻👌🏻

Catfish, cool! We don’t have them here
The comparison no one did before and everybody was waiting for. Nice video.

Just the angle.. 📐 I was thinking I should level them up, but forgot 😅

Have 2 Adrena spinning 🙏 Power spin ( 5-21g) and radical taper (2-12g). Really nice rods
Nice!!

hoping to see the side by side comparison of Shimano’s Poison Glorious vs World Shaulla vs Bantum. interesting don’t you think?
Yes agree 👍🏻

Technically we can, but purchasing stuff outside the EU comes with a lot of extra costs. Import charges (add 25% on price), toll and shipping… 😩
@TackleCrew oh i didnt know you all had that high of import charges. Thats crazy.
@@TackleCrew, it is indeed possible and I have been collecting high-end JDM tackle since 2002. However, shipping and sales tax can make it expensive for something you never held in your hands and don’t know if it suits you.

Great comparison 👍👍. Love my Expride 1610.
Thx 🙏🏻
can't decide between the expride 610 and expride 610 glass.
I firgit to mention that my one combo is the curado m/heavy paired with the curado 150mgl.
Nice
Awesome video, mate. I've all three except the SLX (not my cup of tea)..haha
Thanks! Nice!! 👍🏻
Tackle idaman😍😍😍❤❤❤
🤩
nice presentation mate
Thanks 🙏🏻
I'm just wondering why shimano would say that adrena blank is a regular action 😅 that's what stopped me wanting one until I seen this video, but the guy talking about snapped tips also puts me off 😅 can't say any of my shimano rods have ever snapped though
Yes we have never have them snap either..you probably have to be pretty rough with them to get them to snap 😅
Put an aldebaran mgl on those setups and you might 💩 your pants after feeling how light they can be!
😂
Hi mate, between Poison Adrena vs Megabass Levante, which one is your preference, thx
Poison Adrena. We love the Levante, but Poison is ahead in sensitivity, Expride also. Though the design of the Levante is among our favorites.
What reel is on the Expride?
It looks like a Solo King Acura Pro 2...
Can you make a similar one but with light finesse rods ?
Yes good idea
Are all of these meant for treble hook baits? I was looking at the expride for lighter paddle tail soft swimbaits + jerk baits (110's). Is this not the best double duty?
Yes the will do great 👍🏻
Hello, what is matched balance reel model for those rods, I want to know. Please info list up. Thank you.
We use a few different reels. Aldebaran and Metanium is our most preferred ones. Curado mgl 150 is also great
@@TackleCrew Thank you for your reply. Inwill try it later.

We only get 2-3 7’ and 7’2” over here 😞
I know I’m late but is that 6’10 M expride a good light Texas rig/ finesse jig rod up to 3/8 oz???
Obviously best jerkbait rod
Which of these are 2 piece
All of them 👍🏻
Нello! What kind of reel is on the Expride?
I want freshwater the shimano poison adrena
👌🏻
I have to say, it drives me insane the way you say Zodias, as Sodias.
😇😅
Ultima⁉️
Wish we had them here
too expensive and not even life time warrantee
Yes warranty is not the best, but we think it’s great value for money anyway
Expride! I need my cork on my rods and reels
👍🏻👍🏻
