Thank you Randy. Great video. Would love to trade info on JDM trout stream rods. I’m a fan of the Tenryu Rayz line. Terrific rod and the way it fishes gives you a confident feel, especially in current. I still can’t get over how truly beautiful many of the rods built for the JDM are. Keep the videos coming. Always look forward to them!!! Thanks again.
Area Trout Rods are fun, I have the MC Area Stage. These rods seem to be made for Bluegill but I have never caught a Trout on one so they probably shine for them as well. Looking forward to the next video in this series.
Thanks for the info as always! For river rods, I have the Tenryu Rayz and a Finetail FSX but greatly prefer the Tenryu. The Finetail is a fine rod and can even handle decent sized smallmouth in current, but it's significantly less sensitive than the Tenryu and not even in the same ballpark as the light game rods I usually use (Lunakia/Scout Master). Definitely would like to get my hands on a Super Belleza one day as well; I saw some Russian videos where they were using a version of the Super Belleza on river trout, which looked like an absolute ball! I hope your surgery goes smoothly and you can get out on the river for some trout action! Stay safe and healthy out there!
U know, Randy... the lakes are covered up on weekends, but TN river... unless some special even... is surprisingly empty. Especially the ultralight fishing spots... for 3 years i haven't once seen my spots covered so i have to look at some new spot to fish. God bless and God keep it that way.. Would u say your lakes overall have less traffic than over here?
Well I only fish a couple of lakes and it is not a problem. AR has half the population of TN and I'm sure that has something to do with it. Like you I never had an issue below Nickajack. On the 2 trout rivers here it is a different story. They are covered up on the weekend.
I was wondering if you were going to hit that cam.....LOL You can close a couple times then click you hit it..... I'll have to have some serious therapy to not set the hook before getting into those ultra light rods..... Sound like you're giving your son some incentive to get on the water with you...... Nice rods....
What happened to Abu Garcia Real Fineness eradicator 6"7'? Randy i hope you get the 6"9 slow taper version. Wishing you the best of luck on the operation.
Thanks...I still have the rod...and it is still my favorite rod hands down. I am constantly looking at new rods to try but it is hard to source a lot of thee rods now.
I love watching your videos.Very informative.I am learning a lot from you.Have you ever considered the BFS rod and reels for blue gill and crappie fishing? Is it possible to use small baitcasting rods and reels for panfishing? And what are the pros and cons vs spincasting ?
Thanks for watching and the comment. I do not own any BFS gear.....although I looked at getting into it. BFS rods have a lot more glass in the rods to give them flex to allow the casting of light lures. They are nowhere near as sensitive as the spinning rods I am using. While you can cast light lures with BFS anything under 2 grams is not realistic. If your casting light spoons....spinners.....minnow type plugs, you can cast with much more accuracy using BFS.
Liked. Do have a question Randy. Trout rods are lower powered than other UL rods such as Ajing right? I routinely have the real chance of catching 4-6 lbs trout and these can snap a 2 lbs line in an instant if I set the drag too tight. It seems that other types of JDM UL may actually be more suited to these trout, or is there something about these 'trout' rods that still make them better for trout? I just caught the first minute plus but will circle back later this evening to finish the rest of the video. Thanks.
Thanks for watching....if I was catching big trout..in current....needed a rod that was sensitive.....I would look at some ajing rods. If I was casting spoons...spinners...small plugs for those trout I would get a "Stream" trout rod.
Hi, I am kind of new to the sport and I was wondering what a good bluegill/panfish rod would be? I already have a decent UL rod already, but I was looking to upgrade
@@micahlee8661 I would get the FAX 632SUL Fine Tail Area Trout Rod. I own this rod and I can tell you for the money it cannot be beat in fun factor or sensitivity. It is rated for 1/64 to 1/8 ounce....max line rating 4# test. Dollar 180 delivered to your door. www.digitaka.com/item.php?item=4560350821923&maker=29&category=6&series=6
@@micahlee8661 yes...just stay within the rating of the rod. This rod is designed to use nylon...braid...and polyester line. Just and FYI...if you're using US market braid keep in mind it will break way over the stated breaking strength.
Thanks for watching. Are you talking about blanks to build a rod or already built rods? I have quite a few trout rods. Depending on if you’re fishing streams or flat water.
@@troutmagnetmanI'm looking for both. I live in Southern California. Mini jigging 1/32 jigs Is the arsenal of choice, in Flat water. Im really interested in buying a good JDM rod.
@@jso275 I would try for the Super Bellezza Area trout rod. The Diplomat Extreme 6' 2" UL is a great rod for micro jigging. The extremely soft tip gives you a great hook up rate. Olympic has a new 2021 Bellezza Prototype rod out that looks interesting also.

Thanks Randy. Some great info. Best wishes for your intervention later this month.
Thanks much....
Enjoyed seeing your collection. Take care.
Thanks....
I love the advise you give on these rods.I love jdm rods and have some of the ones you showed.
Thanks.....
Very informative, Randy, thank you! These are probably my favorite JDM rods. Talk about a ball when landing a big shellcracker or bluegill!
Thanks for watching....yeah it is like they were made to fish for shellcracker and bluegill.

Great review Randy! Good look on your surgery!
I was thinking of purchasing a evergreen 6’10 superior salty sensation ul
That’s a great rod for sure.

I think that is more in the Mebaru or Ajing category?

Hi Randy
I've been learning alot from your videos.
I just received my Shimano Soare 2500. What would be a nice area trout rod to pair with this reel?.
How do you spell that name super bellezza is that the name of that rod you talking about
