I think I have a new favorite rod, paired with a ZeeBaas 27,
I had a good cast with a 2.5 oz. needle But I was told By Don (GoneFishin) it didn't look like the rod was loading fully so Don gave me one of his heavy plugs and told me to try it out. I did and I casted right down to the Mono backing I am thinking 140 yards? The reel wasn't totally full of line I would estimate 100 yards low.

Are you still loving the Mojo? Did you go with the 10' 2-6 oz. rated rod? I'm thinking of picking up a 10 footer to pair with my zx25. Where would say the sweet spot is with it? I mostly throw plugs, but out of desperation will occasionally toss eels. |
Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio

Well I was really surprised. I got a blue that had to go 15-16lbs and it just beat the heck out of the rod and the rod did just great. I also threw a 1.5oz. Red-fin with it with no problem.

Yes I got the 10'6" 2-6
I have only used it a hand full of times, but I believe it is rated pretty much as what they say. I don't throw anything over 5 oz's
I have mine matched with a ZB-27 and I can cast past the middle of the canal, I just put new line on today (spool was down about 100 yards)
so I am hoping for a little more distance
I may pick up the 3/4 to 4 oz. tomorrow if Red top has one in stock, for lighter plugs and eels
I did catch a few decent size fish with it and it did handle them well
IMO for the price you can't go wrong
I am going to be around there tomorrow if you want to test cast it
