    Expride B 610ML Review

    I've probably caught more smallies on the Expride A 610ML than all my other rods combined, so after a season with the new Expride B I thought I'd put together a short review.

    I also had a Expride A 2610ML and also caught A LOT of smallies until it snapped first outing last year(my fault). I had Expride B same model for a little while, and I remember 2610ML B felt a little stiffer than 2610ML A when I did bending test at home, but exhibited almost exactly same flex and taper vs. 2610ML A when hooked into its first fish a decent Walleye.

    I sold Expride 2610ML B not long after, I always felt a bit lack of sensitivity in the Expride line up, but sometimes I do miss that rod... nothing in my current arsenal has the same action, the black blue Steez 76MML also has a soft tip but a longer and powerful stick

    Yeah I don't see a difference in how the A and B Expride 610ML fishes, like I mentioned in the review, the B seems to load even a touch easier than the A, but that could be in my head.

    I find the sensitivity above average, but then again I'm not dragging a jig on this rod and most presentations are off bottom.

    That blue steez 76MML is definitely a fun rod - watching that blank load to the grip on a dime when a smallie makes a surge is always entertaining lol.
