Finally land one on a BIG swimbait (LiveTarget) Evergreen Orion The Black Rose Shimano Antares DC MD

[@dyang1982]

I just acquired a black rose and I like that rod a lot.

[@dvangfishing]

Yeah brother. It’s a beast of a rod. Plus it’s super light.

[@dyang1982]

@@dvangfishing yes indeed

[@tim9928]

That was at a big pond?

[@dvangfishing]

Yeah. It’s a decent size pond.

Como se queda equilibrada esta caña con el Antaresc Dc Md? Estoy pensando comprarla para los GanCraft Jointed Claw 178. Agradeceria tu respuesta

[@dvangfishing]

They paired up pretty well but the Antares DC is a bit on the heavier side. Now I have it paired with the Daiwa Steez A II, and I feel like it balances out a lot better.

[@gheorghitacatalindobrita6642]

@dvangfishing ok, but isn't better reel the Antares for JointedClaw 178 than the Steez A II?

[@gheorghitacatalindobrita6642]

@dvangfishing is The Black Rose the ideal rod for JointedClaw 178 type swimbaits? I mean 2-2,5 Oz swimbaits

[@dvangfishing]

@@gheorghitacatalindobrita6642 yeah you’re right , the Antares DC MD is a better swimbait real. But I was just saying that it’s a little on the heavy side. The Black Rose is a really nice rod and it’s super light as well. I think a lighter reel matches better with a lighter rod.

[@dvangfishing]

@@gheorghitacatalindobrita6642 the Black Rose is a great rod. Most of these Evergreen Orion rods are very versatile. I use to throw Swimbaits with the Black Rose and didn’t have any issues with it at all. Now I have a different dedicated Swimbait rod. I use the Black Rose now mainly for Frogs and Punching.
