liked the Stella smile before we even got to see it. I just got my 3rd Vanford in, we have stock issues in Canada, I was tossing up the Zodias and the Expride I like the handle on the new Zodias. Definitely liked the conquest Stella set, Waiting on my exsence to come in might check out the conquest for That. keep the videos coming good to hear feed back on other peoples gear
Just realized you had new videos posted. What the heck youtube shut my notifications off for your channel! Got it back on now though. Like the new reel man.
Looking at getting the vanford or stradic in 3000 for fluke off the beaches, black fish from the boat and salmon in your opinion which should i go with
I absolutely love the looks of this combo and I already have 2 vanford 2500s with 15 pound braid on them. Will the medium light zodias work with the 15lb? The specs say it's rated to like 8lb test which is crazy low
Looking at the Zodias but wanted to know if your braid to leader knot passed through the guides easily or are the guides closest to the tip micro?? I usually use 15lb braid to 8-10lb flourocarbon leader
I feel like they compare pretty well. I still feel like you are getting a little better blank when it comes to the expride rods, but the sensitivity and functionality are close to the same in my opinion. If you like cork, go with the expride, if you don't mind the carbon handle, pick the zodias. That is just my opinion.
I’m an absolute rookie when it comes to inshore fishing, so take that into consideration. However, I feel like if you have the drag set properly on the Vanford you could land any fish you catch on a Zodias. I know Redfish get pretty big and if you catch many that are trophy size, you may want to step up to the 4000 series reel.
I’d say it would be too light for those baits. I assume with the -2 at the end you’re referring to a 2 piece rod. We don’t have those in the US that I’m aware of, so it may be a different action. The ml that I own is a one piece and would be too light for sure. Might want to go with a Medium action.
That’s a tough question be to honest. If I was going to buy one for the techniques you mention I would go with the Medium. However, this rod in this video was rigged up with a small drop shot and it felt good. I guess it all depends on the weight of drop shot you’d be throwing. If it were me, I’d go with the medium just to have the extra backbone for other applications.
@@OnAnotherLine I haven’t seen the Zodias in store so I’m gonna order the 7ft medium hopefully I like it. I throw 1/8 to 3/16 drop shots and 1/4 to 3/8 finesse jigs or small plastics then I use a baitcaster for anything heavier 1/2 etc
If you were throwing lures from 1/8 oz ned rigs to 3/8 oz spybaits and were looking for long casts and sensitivity which zodias spinning rod are you choosing the 7ft medium light or the 7ft 6inch medium? I want to pick one up black friday but I'm having trouble picking one. thanks
Hey Nick. Sorry for the delay and I’m not sure this will help ya since you Said you were going to buy one on Black Friday, I’d choose the medium light for that range of weight. However, if you’re fishing for small mouth or harder fighting fish the extra length on the 7’6” would be beneficial.
@@OnAnotherLine No worries. I did purchase the 7ft medium light. It's actually a clear water quarry that they stock with trout and largemouth bass. So I think the medium light should he plenty. They loved that duo realis spinbait 80. I never tried a spinbait until this year and it was fun. It would catch them when nothing else worked! Thanks for getting back to me.
I’m not sure what your asking here. If you are wondering what pound test is on the reel, it’s 20lb PowerPro super slick v2 in the moonshine color. If your asking if the rod is mine, that one wasn’t. It was a buddy of mine’s rod who is a rep for Shimano.
I guess im the only one who did not appreciate the Stradic Ci4 when i used it side by side against the Stradic FL. To me the FL was smoother and the weight difference was not noticeable so i ended up returning the ci4 then kept the FL. I did however preordered the new Shimano Vanford and look forward to using that since to me that reel is an FL on a Ci4 body.
I like both reels equally. Like you, I feel like the weight difference isn’t that much. The addition of the micromodule II to the Vanford is great. You’re right when you made the analogy of the FL on the cI4 frame.
i have the same exact combo. mine has 10 pound power pro it doesnt cast far at all. i was expecting more out of this combo wish i would have went with a st croix avid inshore and a shimano stradic
@@OnAnotherLine haha well.. the Drag is allready a bit fked. I dont know how it happens to me all the time. Im struggling with both my stradic fbs and the FL. The drag is lagging somehow, with all of them. I use them mostly on fresh water but when I use them on salt, I always wash em. Any ideas what and how this happens?
I was drooling.. that Conquest and Stella..So beautiful together ❤
Yes sir. Thing is a work of art...both the reel and the rod.

Great info and review! I gotta get a couple of those reels soon!
Just realized you had new videos posted. What the heck youtube shut my notifications off for your channel! Got it back on now though. Like the new reel man.
I just saw 5 reviews on this reel. And even though I'm more rock n roll over country, I loved this review. Good job man!
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching and the comment. Can’t win them all...you’ll like the reel more than the music 😂
Hahaha this made me think of a "south park" episode.. " I'm a little country" "and I'm a lil bit of rock and roll "
What is the name of the song/ artist in the intro? Love it 🤘
@@arocosadventures724 it’s my single. Search Tyler Waller - my world on all popular avenues.
Hiii is the vanford is for saltwater too ?
Hahaha the song “gotta get your hands on a shimano reel” I swear did he say that in the song?
Sure did buddy. Thanks for watching.
@@OnAnotherLine And subbing ;)
My Zodias and Vanford come in very soon cannot wait! What point braid do you have? 10 or 15?
15lb for me.
Looking at getting the vanford or stradic in 3000 for fluke off the beaches, black fish from the boat and salmon in your opinion which should i go with
great information, brother.
Thanks!
Do a rod and reel Arsenal video mate?
I’m waiting on three new rods to show up. When they come in, I’ll make one.
I absolutely love the looks of this combo and I already have 2 vanford 2500s with 15 pound braid on them. Will the medium light zodias work with the 15lb? The specs say it's rated to like 8lb test which is crazy low
I fish 15lb on them no problem. The medium light is also one of my favorite zodias rods.
Is the medium light rod flexible at the tip?
It does have a pretty flexible tip for sure with the ML...Perfect for neds and things
Looking at the Zodias but wanted to know if your braid to leader knot passed through the guides easily or are the guides closest to the tip micro?? I usually use 15lb braid to 8-10lb flourocarbon leader
It passes through just fine. They guides aren’t micro on the zodias line. I’m not sure Shimano has any rods that have micro guides at all.
@@OnAnotherLine thanks for your response.
How does the new Zodias compare to the Exprides?
I feel like they compare pretty well. I still feel like you are getting a little better blank when it comes to the expride rods, but the sensitivity and functionality are close to the same in my opinion. If you like cork, go with the expride, if you don't mind the carbon handle, pick the zodias. That is just my opinion.
Do you think the Vanford 2500 would pair well with the Zodias medium action? The medium light sold out everywhere
Yep! I’d actually prefer it, but I like a little stiffer spinning rod than most.
Thanks for the info cant wait to try it out
Hi Sir, is the Zodias 2020 rod able to be used inshore, mostly on Jetty? I plan to pair with Vanford 3000 for redfish, trout. Thank you

What brand of braid are you using ? Thank you.
PowerPro super slick v2
High vis aqua or moonshine color. What ever it is. Looks really nice on your set up. 🤙🏻
@@4492573 moonshine on this reel. I used to use hi vis yellow, but they stopped making it. Moonshine is close and it’ll glow under a black light.
Nice info n review!!can you suggest me what kind of rod to fit my 5000 vanford..i appreatice it tq!
What type of fishing do you normally do? I’d imagine with a 5000 you’ll be in saltwater. Is that correct?
@@OnAnotherLine normally i do for landbase ..Yes it is!!
Hello my friend. Zodias spinning rod guide is micro or normal ? Help me pls
Normal guides on a zodias.
Does the rod have micro guides or regular size?
Regular size
Where did you purchase your Zodias?
Tackle box in South Point, Ohio
Who sings the Intro song? Lol

@@OnAnotherLine thank you
Now i wonder why my zodias 264UL-2 has no hook keeper 😂. Didnt notice that before...😆
good afternoon, please tell me how do you think shimano zodias 270ml-2 cope with wobblers or jerkbait in size 110
I’d say it would be too light for those baits. I assume with the -2 at the end you’re referring to a 2 piece rod. We don’t have those in the US that I’m aware of, so it may be a different action.
