Shimano Expride 72MHG

[Cooker11]

Anyone use the Shimano Expride 72MH glass? Was looking to get it for chatterbaits and bigger squarebills. Your thoughts?

[tcbass]

Yes, bought it last spring on the Rods For Sale board here and really like it.

I like it as a trap rod.

Love mine. I use it for cranks, lipless cranks, chatterbaits, and some topwaters like whopper ploppers. The rod never feels overpowered, casts great, and is very comfortable to fish. I wouldn’t hesitate to get one.

Thanks for the info!

I talked about it a lot in my recent expride video...



The 72MH glass is a killer chatterbait rod for 3/8 & 1/2oz. Would also do well for spinnerbaits of equal weights. It would also make a fine chatterbait and mid-depth cranking rod. It's definitely one of the stand-out rods in the Expride line.

Thanks for the link I haven’t seen this video! I actually first heard about this rod on your video when you were going through your arsenal for the year. Subscribed now thanks!

It's a fantastic stick that can do just about anything that involves a moving bait. I used it primarily as a bladed jig and sq.bill rod until late fall up north here. I then fished it using weighted DT10s and 14s until ice up. Very versatile. You will not be disappointed if you pull the trigger!

[Cooker11]

Thanks for all the info. I picked one up today.

You should try throwing flash mob Jr's on it. That rod really covers alot of moving baits, and does it well.

[Cooker11]

Sounds good I don’t have any flash mobs but I’ll try the Picasso School E Rig Jr on it, I have a few of those. I never thought to try that. Thanks

90% percent of the time in MN you should not be using a glass rod for chatter baits! Heck I almost never you glass period because of all the weeds we have! IMO punch shouldn't be giving out advice!

Oh come on Shane...give me a break.

I literally used this rod all hear around the dreaded milfoil and didn't lose any fish. I even boated all the big pike that bit around the grass. PLUS Josh Douglas used this rod on the FLW tour in Florida tossing 1/2oz jackhammers (he personally told me to pick up this rod). This rod is only 40% glass, 60% graphite.

I'm sorry man but we're going to have to agree to disagree. it's a fantastic stick.

Sounds like maybe somebody's alittle jealous! All the expride are awesome! I personally hate glass rods, but thinking about grabbing one of these!
