I definitely liked the price point of the Aird, but had also looked at these as additional options when I have a few more $ to spend on fishing gear. Is there a chance they changed up the specs on that rod? Am I overthinking it? I use mostly baitcast rods, and this rating is a solid MH rating for many baitcast rods and not what I would use for any finesse presentations.

There is also a 6'6' MF rated 1/4-3/4 oz. Comments: If you are casting lures off because there is no 'click' then that is your fault. Definitely some inconsistencies on the specs. I've never handled this rod, but the weight range is within the rating of many Medium power rods. Comments: Fantastic reel, I bouD reels and paired them with Major Craft 6'9' M drop shot rods (spooled with 8 lb Seaguar InvizX line), fantastic combo for around 200. However, the Academy & Tackle Warehouse web sites are showing 1/2-1.5 oz for the same rod. I checked on Daiwa’s website ( ) and they’re showing the specs for that rod with a lure weight of 1/8-3/4 oz which is more of what I was expecting. Length: 7’6 Rod Material: Graphite Rod Handle: Cork Action: Medium-fast Power: Medium Price: 99.99 Guides: 7+tip Pros of the All Star. Note: there are many variations of this rod with different lengths, strengths and action. These are the specs for my All Star Inshore Series rod.

I thought that seems a lot heavier than expected. All Star Inshore Series rod against a big trout. However, I’m noticing is showing a “cast weight” of 1/2-1.5 oz printed on the rod. I picked up the Aird Costal Inshore, ACIN701MHFB, thinking it would be a good fit, as recommended above. I’m going to be pairing it with a Curado 200HG that I currently have on an old medium action 6.5′ Falcon Original rod. I’m looking to put together a better redfish setup with a more stout, Medium-Heavy Fast Action, rod.
