Hi Everyone,
Upping my gear quality soon.
I'm considering:
Expride 7' Med paired with Sustain 2500, or
Zodias 7' Med paired with Stradic Ci4+ 2500 or
Expride 7' Med paired with Stradic Ci4+ 2500
I'm leading towards the 3rd one above since I hear Expride is good sensitive rod, and I don't think I will see too much difference between the Sustain and Stradic reel.
I'm finesse fishing bass mostly at reservoirs.
Any opinions and or experiences?
Ken

I have the 7' Med Expride with a Ci4+ 2500 and it is truly remarkable. Very light and sensitive, but comfortable enough to use all day long (the grip/reel seat design on the Expride is a nice touch).
I own a few Zodias rods too, they are great and share a lot of the same features, but the Exprides are definitely lighter. For your finesse application, where bait/bottom contact is so crucial, I would throw down the extra $ for the Expride w/ the Ci4+.
