Thank you for the review, I was waiting for that. There is a lot of good information here. Great stuff.

Thank very much for your comment! We are glad that you liked the review. We are also hard at work on several rod review videos :)

With the Twin Power 2024 you said (at 12:50) "as long as line trouble isn't an issue". You mentioned line issues on your previous review of the Twin Power, but did not go into detail. Can you let me know what issues there are, because I'd really like to get a Twin Power (to go on a Nessa SS). Thanks.

The issue I encountered was regarding to the Infinity Loop, so not only for the TP but the same to Stella and Vanquish. The issue that I had was especially for the lighter and thinner line, when I used soft, "un-coated" braid line the line was backlashed at casting, quite often as the Infinity Loop spools parallel, and can easily spool off. But when I re-spooled with a little hard coated line such as X-Braid Upgrade, VARIVAS 10x10 Max Power X8/9, DAIWA DuraSensor Si3+, SHIMANO HardBull, then I did not have any issue. However, some still says they experience the line troubles. So, now I keep using those 3 reels with Infinity Loop for years as main reels of cases, I don't have any more of issues with them, literally zero issue happened, but I can't really guarantee that you would not have line troubles.

I'd like to see some baitcasting rods around 9'6" for surf fishing

Thank you for your feedback! We will consider your suggestion :)

[@craighovde6195]

do you have any experience with the Shimano NASA limited how would this compare

[@jpfishingtacklenews195]

I have only use Limited once, but to me, XR is a little harder than Limited, but a little harder to cast than Limited too. XR is good enough rod to be used for most of anglers I believe, but Limited is surely much nicer, the cast is easier, more sensitive, bends well on fighting but does not mean it's weak, the butt is powerful and can lift up fish really well.

How does rod compare to nessa bb? And what type of fuji guide it uses?

[@jpfishingtacklenews195]

Actually I haven't used Nessa BB yet but seems like new BB is a little softer than this. The guide is all stainless frames + SiC rings.

Ai voice over... Nitro rods were light 10 years ago

[@jpfishingtacklenews195]

Yes we use AI voice over to be listened clearer, rather than having our accents. Of course you can go anything you like :)
