Went out and tried the Shimano Zodias line of rods. Funny name but great versatile rod. If you are looking for a well rounded rod to do a lot of things with, Zodias is one of my top choices. Check out all models here

What rod in the Zodias line up do you recommend for weightless senkos and 1/8 to 1/2oz Texas rigs? Also what rod in the Zodias line up would you recommend for dragging a Carolina rig out deep, fishing a football jig and fishing a big worm? Lastly, do you think the 6'10 medium would be a good jerk bait rod? I know those are both large category's but I can't afford a rod for every technique. I'm fading in and out news set ups and i like to
keep my stuff fairly similar and I was just curious is the Zodias line up had everything I was looking for. Please help me. Thanks

I know versatility is the main selling point of the Zodias series rods, and in keeping that theme shimano has neglected to specify the action/taper of the rods. If you had to describe the taper of the 7'2'' MH you are using in the video, what would you say the action/taper is for that rod? I am really curious before I order one. Great video! thanks for uploading.

7'2 Mh is too stiff for Spinner baits and does not load very well. Action is good though. I know use it for soft body paddle tail swim baits instead. I think for the price and build quality they are winners and I will add a few more to replace my black Cumaras when I need to.

LakeForkGuy Hey Justin, I'm planning to get one of the Zodias rod for worm and jigs. I was thinking of the 7'2 Medium/mod-fast or the 7'6 Glass Med/Hvy with mod-fast action. But I would like your opinion on which Zodias rod is best for worm and jig. Thanks.
reply

Hey justin, i think you failed a bit in the video.
At 45 seconds from the beginnig you can clearly see that the rod used isn't a zodias but instead its an expride.
Anyway these rods seem to have a ModFast taper, do you confirm?

I have this rod in Heavy Action and you know what sucks about this rod! NO HOOK KEEPER! How does a 200. 00 rod not have a hook keeper! I had to go buy one and slap it on.
reply

any idea what a medium might be able to handle like the max safe testline? I can't find the specs anywhere online what the rod can handle like the weight before it snaps

Hey lake fork guy. Have you ever used a Denali rose wood. My dad uses them and says I need one and was wondering if they are worth it.
