Daiwa Steez Real Control C70MH-LM

2 today, first 13"/14", other was 19" -- Really liking the Real Control  6'8" Spin and 7' Casting 

Oh, yeah, the bloody bass was deep hooked in the throat with a MB Knuckle LD.  The action was SIMILAR to the Glass Tatula Elite 7' Tak rod

Another 14"/15" on the Blitz DR Amarazi, no pic gill rake hooked so launch ASAP 

Observations and conclusion:

I mentioned above the action was similar to Tak Elite Tatula glasstech rod.  LC 1.5 DRS DD, Blitz DR, Knuckle LD, MB Vision 110, all bass were hooked in the back of the throat, which I experienced with the Tak rod referenced.  This is a low carbon modulus blank.  It was "springy" without being mushy.

Yes, it's an expensive MSRP rod BUT we're not just off the turnip truck ...

@blitzdr sounds like a winner. Has it earned a permanent spot in your lineup?

So, your designating this a treble hook rod?

It actually did quite well as a JackHammer rod 1/2 oz w/4" RAID trailer.  I was quite impressed with the power it had.  For the first few seconds, I thought I was into a channel cat, lot of bull-doggin', then the bass took charge with the running and surface work.

The hook pentration power was top-notch, through the top, around the snout and the into the jaw.
