How do these rods fish? I have a KVD 7'-11 mh cranking stick and a ducket 7'-10 m stick. Are the lamiglas cranking rods that sensitive and forgiving as all of the reviews state? I was just wondering since it is only 7'-0 can it launch cranks like a 6xd as far as the longer rods I mentioned above?
Which one? The XCF 705 sounds a lot like the MB841E blank in which I have a couple customs built on. It is my favorite rod to fish with- it's just flat out fun! I like it for traps and squarebills and although it can work for DD22's/6XD's, it wouldn't be my first choice. Those big deep divers are just a little too much for it. Its sweet spot seems to be from 3/8-3/4oz baits.
I've never fished with a Duckett or Quantum rod, so I have no basis for comparison. I can say I like them a lot more than my custom G Loomis CB rods or a Shimano Crucial cranking rod. I don't believe they are that sensitive- it's a glass rod! But for shallow- mid depth cranks and traps it's perfect, IMO.
yes the 705. does anyone know if lamiglass makes a longer rod? like a 7'-6 in the pro glass?
I haven't seen a production rod from them that's 7'6" glass, but they make the MB901FH blank that's is 7'6". It's similar to the MB841E blank only 6" longer, so it has a little more backbone.
