Good review and first impression Jacob! Our mutual friend is very happy with his rod (the model with a slightly higher throw weight), so I have high hopes for this one to. Looking forward to a casting video!
In an ideal world I would have liked the shorter casting and maybe this longer one in spinning. I’m no 1g expert haha. Windy AF here so I dunno when I’ll get to use it. Hopefully in the next 2 weeks
I have been eyeing this rod too! Gonna wait for your casting and fishing videos! I hope it throws fly decently. Perhaps I can pair it with the hi star aurora. Hehe you should pair that new silver feather exa with it to test the lower lure weight range for the reel as well. 😊
Yea true I could pair it with the exa.but.I just spooled it with 140m of 1.0 (for the 7'6 zero and also on the Cedan and Grupla perhaps) going to use it primarily for open water fishing, I'll try it like that with say 2.2 G just to see but I plan to put the GIU on this, aurora on creek dance and red dragon GIU on Histar rod and that Startlure Zacco. Might do a quick video showing my setups.
Hey mate, I've just bought the UL .8-6g size in the 5'9" size for kayak fishing. Probably be chasing trout and bass with it. The quality is amazing for the price. It is almost a copy of the Daiwa purelist ( they even stole the name). I haven't fished with mine yet, thrown a few small plugs in the back yard, feels great. Thanks for doing the video.
Awesome, yea a mate got that exact one too, or maybe it was the 5'5 and he is very happy and keen to have a fish. Also another mate sent me a DM and he has the Daiwa and it's one of his favourites
The color is similar to the Eagle Claw Featherlite rod. This was my first light baitcast rod i had it paired up with the BPS prolite finnesse model PRLO5HB
I just learnt when editing this video...this is kind of a knock off of a Daiwa Purelist (same name). My friend sent me a pic of his today...very similar. Classic timeless trout look.
Yea it’s a bit like that but if I don’t use something regularly enough or if I have something that does the same job better I try to move it on to someone local.
@@yep.fishing Yes I did. I'm just amazed by how you're to find these budget hidden gems / new release rods. There aren't many CDMs making the longer finesse rods.
Solid reel, not many people but then today because they are a little more expensive that other variants of that same reel but I think it looks the best of them.
Yea I would imagine the heavier one is like an Acehawk AG venom but obviously a different look. I got this one because it's something different from anything I've had.
Nah they a pretty different. Fire Phoenix is a faster action more stout rod. The Acehawk is very slow action. Overall the Acehawk is a higher quality rod also. I have had both
Definitely on my to do list, it's a good option for the Perch which are kinda targeted like bass, often in the reeds along the bank. I have probably 100 packs of plastics but most of them are $2 AliExpress ones I will never use. Good to give away to kids. I outta make up some variety packs and give them away
Look forward to seeing you using it.
Hopefully within 2 weeks, hopefully a nice day with no wind :)

I really like the look of this one and a very good price point. Thanks for the review on this one Jacob!
Thanks Larry for watching as always :)
Excellent review Jacob. 😊
Thanks! 😀
Cool colour! Looks really well finished! Looking forward to seeing it in action!!
Can’t wait to try it

@@yep.fishinghow’s the rod fish! It’s just came on my local online platform for 20 USD. Haha. Might just have to pull the trigger 😅
Not sure yet, I'll test this week. Had another rod I had to test first. Probably will throw 1-1.5g on it
@@yep.fishing that’s great. Looking forward to the video!
Don't think I'll be able to go trout fishing this week so probably test is in some other smaller species

Looks very 👍🏻 good❤
Now I can join the sub 1g gang haha
My gosh bro you have more junk then me. Tight lines Bro.
Yea it’s a bit like that but if I don’t use something regularly enough or if I have something that does the same job better I try to move it on to someone local.
@@yep.fishing Try to give some to a kid.
I have 2 sons so makes me hold onto stuff. I got 3 kids actually
I have two,boy and girl. They say I’m too hardcore at fishing. But I like me just the way I am.😂
I look forward to the day I can fish with my kids like I did with my old man.
🔥🔥🔥
Maybe they deliver to South America?
@@yep.fishing Yes brother, go seen this 🙏
The rod is very cheap but maybe they postage will make it more expensive. For me the postage was about 2/3 the rod price.
I like the look of it 🤝
Imagine this when you're wading....a 30cm brown would feel like a monster

Hola, buen video! que accion tiene la caña? es lenta?
Yes slow
I'd like to see some budget BFS Ajing rods. Longer finesse rods for surf fishing or long casting rods.
Did you see the Tsurinoya Elf Ajing video? 8'1 casting.
@@yep.fishing Yes I did. I'm just amazed by how you're to find these budget hidden gems / new release rods. There aren't many CDMs making the longer finesse rods.
There is another one really high on my list to try, the Tsurinoya Fox Hunting. Comes in 7'11 1-10g from memory
Hello, nice video! Can you tell me, please, what kind of tip has this rod?
I believe it's a solid tip. .7mm on the UL models and I think even the L is .7mm
What is your heaviest lure used on this one?
3.5g or so total weight, but that overloads it a bit so maybe max 3 would be better but 3.5 won’t snap
@@yep.fishing feels the same using a solid tip?
Feels the same as what? It’s a pretty unique rod, just imagine a super thin glass rod
.2 grams, that's crazy 😮 what reel are you gonna pair it up with?
Histar GIU would probably be the best choice for me, other reels I have either have line or handle knobs on that suit a certain rod.
@@yep.fishing sounds cool. I'll have to check it out. I just bought the newer dark wolf. I'm waiting for it to come in.
Solid reel, not many people but then today because they are a little more expensive that other variants of that same reel but I think it looks the best of them.
@@yep.fishing oh I didn't know that, I got it for 59 USD
That’s a good price. It’s typically closer to 70
I would be afraid to catch a fish on a rod that light 😅.
Its a prawning rod right? Not for fish? 😂
Maybe I should set a challenge of biggest fish zi can get with it
I would have to get the heavy rod
Yea I would imagine the heavier one is like an Acehawk AG venom but obviously a different look. I got this one because it's something different from anything I've had.
@@yep.fishing Jacob, would the ace hawk be close to the fire Phoenix
Nah they a pretty different. Fire Phoenix is a faster action more stout rod. The Acehawk is very slow action. Overall the Acehawk is a higher quality rod also. I have had both
what is the action of this rod?
Medium fast
@@yep.fishing just for this rod or for all?
All the rods are the same action, just different lengths and casting weights
Bet I got you beat on lures though.
No doubt, might be close on plastics but I don’t have a tonne of hard stuff. Maybe I’ll do a video showing everything
@@yep.fishing nope, much much older my padwan.
@@yep.fishing have you tried the free rig yet? If not better get with it.

Btw you might be surprised how old I am...obviously not as old as you though 🤣
