    Raid Japan

    Has anyone ever tried the Raid Japan rods and how did they compare to US rods?

    I haven't, but I did see a review once where a guy said he preferred his Raid rods over his Megabass rods.

    That is the only input I have. Wish I could find one to try.

    You will normally get items in like 3-5 days max from Japan. I ordered a Majorcraft Days rod and got it in 3 days.

    I bought one based on his review. It showed up while I’m on vacation.

    Those rods look very interesting. I'm tempted.

    I’ll do a review this week. Tonight I got back from vacation and casted it in the yard. My G Loomis Conquest is more sensitive than it is. I plan to take it to the water and do a side by side with it and a Loomis IMX and Conquest.

    Right on, I'm interested in the 6'10 MH as a possible swim jig rod.
