Team Diawa Light and Tough Rods

Hey guys, I just purchased a Team Diawa L/T jigging and worming rod.  Just wondering what other peoples thoughts and opinions are. I do love mine, infact I bought a second one. Just can't imagine how good a really high dollar rod feels if its any better than this.

I've admired a few in the store, but haven't bought one yet. I do plan on getting one if I can find the right action in a split grip. Don't get to caught up in the high dollar rods, some are pretty nice, but some aren't any better than rods at half the cost.

I agree with ya on that. I was able to get these at really good deal and love it when I first
picked one of em up. I actually got the first one at a really good deal and that suckered me into buying the 2nd one a couple of weeks later. LOL Was a good sales job!

I love them!!!!!!!!!!
I have to of the Frog rods wich double for pitching and flipping and the also the crankin stick wich is awsome.
And about the high dollar comment.....hes right. Ive seen Ike using these in touneys and other tv shows. If he uses them then I dont think they could be that bad.

I have three of the rods; worming/jigging, topwater, and the 7' general duty rod. The name "Light & Tough" sums it up. My worming/jiggind rods doubles as a carp rod.

Though funky looking, the contour grip of the topwater and 7 footer really reduces fatigue, and the width of the split grip on the worming rod let's you know what your holding and is equally as comfortable. Having an exposed rod blank under the reel seat adds to the sensitivity of the rod. To further the comfort creature of my rods, I've added Fuji EZ Hook Keepers.

I also fish an e21 rod and Shimano's Cumara, and will say, with conviction, that they are lighter and more sensitive than the Daiwa L&T series. That being said, I think the $:performance ratio of the Daiwa series is the best bang for the buck.

Hope you enjoy your's as much as I have mine.

I was wondering about the carrot-stix. Everything I've read said the E-21 is a great rod. I have given some thought to ordering one. I agree with you on the exposed rod blank below the reel seat, that's almost a MUST for me. I don't want to buy a rod without it.
