RAID Japan - New Gladiator Anti GA-610MC Joker

Yes please do give your thoughts on it! This model has always had my interest but lacked reviews so I've never pulled the trigger.

I guess the Gladiator Anti spinning rod impressed me ... bought a casting model.

That’s what we like to see/hear…post some pics when it arrives. Congrats! 

First impressions ... It's light.  I didn't put it on the scale but with the Steez A II, the balance is amazing.  No bass but a 15" black crappie fought nice.  I'm not sure if this is the rod for med to deep cranks, it might be better for med topwaters and shallow cranks.

First keeper sized LMB on Joker rod!

I decided to use the Joker as a topwater rod.  As I get more use out of it, it's quite similiar to the Evergreen Pantera rod.  The Pantera was a favorite of mine, topwaters, flat sided cranks and small cranks but it was a bit short for my new "home" lake.
