    2019 Levante Perfect Pitch and Shakyhead rods

    Looking for info on how close these rods are to their XX counterparts as far as sensitivity, etc.? Has anyone here fished them for a while to comment. How do they compare to rods from other manufacturers? I love my 19 Levante Jerkbait Special. Thanks for any/all help and best wishes on the water!

    I ordered both from a website with a limited 25% off which worked for both. Hopefully they are nice rods.

    I love the new 2019 Levante rods.........the Perfect Pitch is a must have...it just does so much across so many presentations. The versatility is great to have. Love the feel and the performance of the updated series a lot.

    Mark, do you have an exact weight for the Levante Shaky Head? Thanks!

    i think the levante shaky head is one of the best rods i've ever owned. BUT...i am getting annoyed that the guides aren't bigger. when you throw braid to flouro the knot will catch in those tiny guides. not sure if the solution is simply bigger guides cause that may push the overall rod weight higher.

    I don’t have many spinning rods (just 3, all different brands) but none of them have big enough eyes for an uni-knot connection to slide through.
