WTS Five Rods 9-10.5 ft - JDM, TFO, Tsunami

[cbinvb]

Hello all,

 

For you consideration are five different rods, three JDM and two domestic, for sale. I bought these rods for fishing 24-32" stripers from a large freshwater spillway nearby that always has a very heavy current going.  I have determined these not to fit my needs but they are each fine rods in like-new condition.

 

Notes:

*

The rods weights shown below are as I have measured myself, not manufacturer claimed. 

The rod actions are my personal assessment as is the sweet spot, which can be interpreted as +/- 0.25 oz.

Additional pictures can be provided upon request.

Prices are firm but I'll offer -10% for two rods, -20% for three rods, etc.

Unless otherwise indicated, prices include shipping.

Accepting Paypal, Venmo, Zelle.

Ships within 24 hrs of payment.

I am located in Baltimore, MD.

 

Shimano Coltsniper XR S96H

Action - Fast-MF

Length - 9'6”

Rod Weight - 11.02 oz

Casting weight - 2.2 - 4.2 oz (3.2 oz sweet spot)

Line PE - 5.0 (max)

Pieces - 2 (50/50 split)

Comments - For its casting range, this is an extremely strong fighting rod with great sensitivty and feel.  In addition to slaying rockfish, it easily handled +25 lb blue cats in heavy current.  Nice large grips give it solid feeling in the hand while still being rather lightweight for its rating. I can't say enough good things about this rod - the 96M and 96ML rods from this series remain in my quiver. I'm only selling this one because I expected the casting range to be overrated, which it wasn't.  Used once, never in the salt, rod sleeve included.

Price - $319

Major Craft N-One NSS-962MH 

Action - Med-MF

Length - 9'6”

Rod Weight - 9.36 oz

Casting weight - 1.4 - 2.8 oz (2 oz sweet spot)

Line PE - 3.0 (max)

Pieces - 2 (50/50 split)

Comments - Super all-arounder rod with a wide sweet spot despite its MF action and the grip is amoung the nicest feeling I've held.  Major Craft rods are widely regarded as punching well above their price point.  I also have two other rods from this series that remain in my quiver - selling this one because I prefer faster actions. Used once, never in the salt, rod sleeve included.

Price - $219

Daiwa Lazy 90L

Action - MF

Length - 9'0”

Rod Weight - 4.42 oz

Casting weight - 0.16 - 1 oz (5/8 oz sweet spot)

Line PE - 1.2 (max)

Pieces - 2 (50/50 split)

Comments - Ridiculously lightweight for its length yet feels quick and responsive during the cast and retrieve, not whippy.  This would make an excellent panfish or walleye rod which is what I got this for but never found the motivation to chase smaller game.  Used once, never in the salt, rod sleeve included.

Price - $179

Then, these are the two rods readily avaiable domestically that most folks will have heard of

Temple Fork Outfitters GIS SCS 1065-2 

Action - MF

Length - 10'6”

Rod Weight - 11.13 oz

Casting weight - 2 - 6 oz (3 oz sweet spot)

Line PE - 3.0 (max)

Pieces - 2 (60/40 split)

Comments - Great rod, popular at the canal.  Happens to be my favorite rod of this bunch but selling because I have moved to 50/50 split rods for mobility's sake.  Condition is 8/10.

Price - $149+ship

Tsunami Trophy 2 

Action - M

Length - 10'0”

Rod Weight - 11.07 oz

Casting weight - 1/2 - 2 oz (1 1/8 oz sweet spot)

Line PE - 3.0 (max)

Pieces - 2 (70/30 split)

Comments - This is the distance casting model and is a great rod for its price point.  It has a parabolic action - too much so for my preference and the 60/40 split means it must go.  Used once, never in the salt.

$69+ship

Interested in the Tsunami, do you work in Bmore also? Or get south of the city at all? 

[cbinvb]

I work downtown, I could meet you south of the beltway pretty easily.  I also fish Annapolis from time to time.

TFO GIS SCS 1065-2 is $250+tax new (if you can even find them), knock of 30% because I removed the tags, then used it maybe 20 times.  $149+ship is fair...but I'll do $140+ship.
