I have two older Zodias rods and two new Zodias rods with the monocoque handles. There is a big difference in the feel and sensitivity with the newer model. I like both models but the newer models gets my nod.
Broke the tip on my Zodias after 3years 😠 It was an excellent rod! I ended upgrading to Expride. It's so light, now my reel feels too heavy 🤔😩 Great comparison video!
@JPDeRoseOutdoors yes I have 3 of them, just like the look and feel of the cork and black. Is there anyone you know willing to sell 1? A mh or medium casting!
I have 6 Expride spinning rods and 2 Zodias spinning rods I bought the Zodias only because they stopped making the Expride 6.8” in Medium Heavy the back bone on that rod is so good it’s crazy and also the sensitivity I hope they come back with the Expride in 6.8” Medium Heavy. (Shimano please)
Excellent review. You know your stuff. Love my expride casting and looking for either a Zodias or pride spinning for another addition. Wish Shimano had of gone 7 ft 3 instead of 7 ft 2 on their casting. I can notice the difference and a little uncomfortable in the 7.2 med heavy casting. Like my Dobyns 7.3 better. Other then that these Exprides are very crisp like you mentioned. Just a little pricey 😢
If you were gonna pick a zodias for only fishing a ned rig would you pick the med light or light ive never used a rod that light so idk what to get. If you have a better rod brand you'd recommend for a ned rig rod please let me know?
It is up to the weight of the ned rig head and cover To be honest, i have a med light 7ft spinning and i dont have any issue with it. I can pull up anything from crappie to catfish without worrying about breaking
Hey JP! Would you go with Poison Adrena over Expride? I have a Zodias 7'6 M.H Glass for crankbaits, 7'6 Expride M.H Fast (I use both when I'm on my boat) but looking for something I could use when I'm bank fishing. Do you think the Poison Adrena 7'3 MH "Regular-fast" would be a good all-around rod?
It's a great rod, higher end than Expride as it uses Spiral X Blanks with Nano Resin Core and has the monocoque handle. I don't think you will go wrong with either but the two are definitely not the same. Adrena is a higher end rod with higher end tech.
@@JPDeRoseOutdoors thank you and for the video! I'm new to fishing and trying to complete my setup little by little. Are you familiar with Shimano's "regular fast" is it same as "moderate fast"? The reason I asked is I watched your other video on rod tapers.
@@JPDeRoseOutdoors I saw this on fish.shimano and also available at tacklewarehouse, ebay and other tackle store. It would say "Reg-fast". I thought it meant "moderate fast". Then again I just started fishing and still learning.
@@jgf1sh1ng74 never even noticed that before... See... You just taught me something! Lol. Based on ratings it's probably moderate fast as they have Regular, Regular Fast and Fast. I'm thinking regular replaces moderate but I'm really just guessing.
The best bet would be the IMX Pro 906C CBR or the new Curado rod CDC74MHGA both will do the trick. The IMX Pro is one of my favorites but I have heard amazing things about the new Curado cranking rods. Closest they can get you is 7'4" but may be perfect for what you are doing
Just found your channel, binged on several vids. Great content! Question: I’m a kayak guy and prefer sub-7’ casting rods. Have my eye on the 6’8” or 6’10 MH for swim jigs, chatterbaits, spinnerbaits, maybe even some light frogging. Question: I love me a somewhat moderate tip that loads well for accurate casting. But worried that sub-7’ models lose a bit of that tip flexibility? That warranted or do you think the shorter rods will work for me? (Zodias or Expride). Thanks, and I’m no longer in the 90% bracket!
Tough to find a sub 7' rod with enough power for those techniques that have the parabolic bend that glass gives. I have tried the 7'2" MHGB model and it does a good job but a high speed reel is recommended to keep tight. I find it tough to beat a Medium Heavy, Fast action blank for those techniques because the hook diameter is rather large in the baits. For me, it's a 72MHB but there is also a 610MHB you may want to check out.
Great video! Looking at the Zodias spinning rods but will the guides pass a braid to leader knot or are they micro guides? Also, I'm not a casting guy, spinning only. Would the 7ft medium-heavy handle a 1/2oz frog fished in light cover? Thanks again!
Guides are not Micro and the MH would be fine but light cover or open water with toads would be far better than trying to hook up on a weedless frog that has big hooks
@@JPDeRoseOutdoors thanks for your response. Would you go with the 7ft or 7ft-3" medium-heavy? Mostly fishing from a small boat and would like to use this rod for 3/8oz spinnerbaits too. Thanks again, much appreciated.
@@JPDeRoseOutdoors Just got the Zodias 7ft ML, 7ft M & 7ft-3" MH. Have 3000 size Vanford's on the ML & M but wanted to go Twin Power FD 4000 on the MH. The Twin Power feels incredible but the bail wire hits my knuckles every revolution. Just for comparison I tried the Vanford 4000 & Stradic FL 4000, no issues. Those bail wires come close but no contact. I'd love to keep the Twin Power but can't seem to figure this out..... any ideas?
How do these compare to the mega bass levante and orochis? Been looking at getting either mega bass or shimano but can’t decide. Something for dropshotting is what I’m after.
Orochi rods are very sensitive with high quality parts. I have the Enforcer Orochi and I use it for dropshotting, super sensitive. I feel every nibble even with so much slack in my line. But I do know that a lot of people like the 7ft Medium Expride. Lots of people go with that. I haven’t tried Levante rods yet. I have a Zodias and it feels very nice. Not as sensitive as the Orochi but it still gets the work done. I don’t really have a say if the Orochi is better than Expride but I think Exprides are the best bang for the buck. They should be put in the 300-400$ range.
That totally depends how much you want to spend. With 15lb you’re going to want a 7’-7’2”Medium Heavy / Fast action if you are fishing cover like wood, docks or vegetation. You can pick from NRX+, Expride, Zodias, GLX, IMX Pro or Curado rod and all are personal favorites of mine.
@@JPDeRoseOutdoors that’s the exact setup what I was thinking… the Expride in a medium heavy action. But I wanted to get a more of an experienced opinion.. thanks a lot…
Hey JP thanks bud love the these up date on new equipment or remake . I think this company has really really pushed the envelope on giving the customer a rod that is 10 times better then what they are asking for price. And that expride B's that is the best fishing rod on the market that you could buy from a company at the price schimino is asking. Trust me JP I've been doing homework for over 3yrs trying to find a company that really is building something special and that's SCHIMINO . You can not get more for your money with any other rod companies. The curado zodias expride and the poison adrena are the best rods for your money that you could possibly get on the market. And I've checked out alot of custom rod companies and NOBODY is building rod's like schimino is . this company really put a lot of thought into building the curado zodias expride and the poison adrena rod's. . And the curado with those fazlite inserts man that's the slickest inserts you can get for guides. Witch means your going to be able to. Get outstanding distance and accuracy when casting. Don't underestimate that curado rod it's legit.
You should just throw out the idea of a Curado round reel, at this point no one would be against it, considering we now have one for every application. Discontinue the lower end round reels and start fresh with a trusted name, trickle down some tech and you have an affordable round reel for everyone. Could work 👍🏽
Is buy a expride but I can't STAND cork handles.... This is the single and only thing keeping me from buying higher end rods. Really wish company's would offers options of both cork and EVA for handles
@@JPDeRoseOutdoors Yea I heard the curado is close the the expride. So those too are probably my only routes to take at this point. Just still think all brands should offer different grips. The catfish world and rods do that all the time.
Hi JP how are you... actually I was searching one of your video in which you catch marlin on Shimano Socorro...brother can you share me link of that video please
Hi Rashid, it was a Pacific Sailfish. Here is the link where I mention it. It is the second reel I talk about. ruclips.net/video/4QpyKfibnPI/видео.html
Tough call really as I find them both pretty good and I reserve increased blank sensitivity for jig rods and rods where I'm trying to feel structure and bottom. I really like the Zodias cranking rods and with the new monocoque handle the sensitivity is very comparable to Expride.
JP, I love the Expride 7' Med, maybe my favorite all around spinning rod at any price. Ridiculously sensitive and light. That said, I was looking at the new Zodias 7'6" spinning rod, wonder if you believe that would be a good hair jig rod, where sensitivity isn't as important as castability, which is needed to get the hair jig away from the boat. There are two models, a light power and a medium power, thoughts on which one would be a better hair jig rod for smallmouth? Thanks again for the content, great stuff. Look forward to your reply.
Hi Nick, I actually have been fishing the 7'6" light for a year and love it. It will be great at fluff (hair), I use it for 2.8" Rhythm Wave on 1/8 jig head, it will also work well for spybaits... It's not as parabolic as most spybait rods like the Loomis 901JWR. Very crisp rod, good sensitivity and and extremely fast action with enough backbone. It's a winner for me
6'8" - 7'0" Light power, Fast or extra fast action would work best. The new Zodias 7' Light is amazing and the same rod in Expride is one of my favorites.
@@JPDeRoseOutdoors it is sooooo hard to choose between Zodias and Expired! I guess I can't go wrong with any of them but it's kills me ... need to decide something ;)
JP - all of your videos are done so well - your passion translates along with solid info. Thank you! This was spinning, but I have decided to try one casting outfit for grass pitching (taking a page from Seth Feider), using a MH power rod (fast) with braid line. Normally I go straight FC. I have been eyeing over the 7'2 MH Casting in the Expride and the Zodias. Cost is less the issue, but I think with maybe 30# braid to 17# FC leader, a softer tip (even though fast action) might be better than a stiffer one. Is there a noticeable difference in the tip sections of these 2 models? And on these casting rods which rate up to an ounce - do you feel they can handle a 3/4oz jig or T-rig, or maybe only 5/8th? Thanks for your help!
Appreciate the kudos Bruce. I lean towards more parabolic rods when using braid over fluoro for flipping and pitching as I find the extra bend helps not rip the hook out of the fish. The difference between the Expride and the Zodias is the carbon they use. Expride is lighter and a bit faster than the Zodias in the same model. That said, I would have no issues using either for your mentioned application however for sensitivity, the new Zodias with the Monocoque handle may have an advantage over the current Expride and most likely would be easier to find as Expride has been very scarce for some time due to popularity.
@@twiggsherman3641 I have fished Megabass rods, I would put Expride up against them without hesitation. Rod preference is a personal opinion at the end of the day
Hi. I’m new to these fishing terms. When you say that the Zodias blank is not fast as the Expride in recovery rate, what does that mean? Also, can you explain what you mean by crisp?
It means the rod doesn't center itself as fast. That's called the action of the rod... A stiff rod usually has faster action, which means it snaps back straight quickly
