Anyone fishing the PX? Is it worth the extra $40-50? Might have to go that route since the 7’ml is hard to come by. Any other rods that are as good or better than the trevala?

ODP has em, I was just there...

I found a few online. Being it is a 7’ one piece rod that it may be better to pick up in person.
-
I have both the orginal 66M and the PX version. I feel like the PX is a bit lighter in weight, and the action is very similar. Other than that, the PX does look cooler.
-
The only thing about the px is the weird split handle. Not sure how I feel about that….lol

I like my Daiwa Harrier and HarrierX rods

I like the harrier x. Wish they made a ML. Not sure if the M would be on the heavy side.

How’s the rod tips on those rods, I really like a soft tip for the top half and a stiff bottom half...

It’s soft enough for me but not noodley. I use it for halibut trolling and also RF jigging.
I really like my 6’4 Harrier ML but wish they made it a 7’0 ML. The 7’0 M length is nice but rod slightly stiffer, just lightly noticeable. The Harrier X are nice because they have the foregrip making it easier when fighting big carpets or LSD induced fish.

Hopefully I can track one down and check them out. Read of some reels not working with the Diana reel seat on the none x models. The X models have all Fuji hardware. It’s blue so it matches my Abu reel. Lol.
Very interested, just don’t want to fish with a stiff rod. Most likely I will go with the proven all around work horse Trevala 70ml.

Make a trip to ODP, they have just about everything, guys there are knowledgeable. I went to a bass pro in rocklin I wasn’t impressed.
-
Yes I may have to. Wifey and I are headed to Yosemite tomorrow for a few days. Think I will stop by fisherman’s warehouse in Manteca and see what’s available.

Thanks, just placed an order a bit ago. Will feel better when it ships. Hope they have it. Lol
I played with the Harrier X, it is a bit stiff, but a nice rod none the less. With my goal of being on the lighter end of the jigging/rockfish set up I wanted to have as light as possible and still have just enough backbone to fight a large ling, salmon or Hali. My Abu c4 reel came in today. Can’t wait to get this rod and pair them up. I think they will make a perfect combo for me.

I have the full rear grip models.

Looked like the ML model had the split grip and a short for grip. Oh well, ordered the standard rod. Will feel better when I get a shipping confirmation.
