Daiwa Iaconelli Rods

[CMorg]

Has anyone got anything to say about the Mike Iaconelli Rods Daiwa makes ? Still looking for the flipping stick , and thought about this one...

[TravisRush]

I bought a Shimano Clarus for my flipping stick...MH 7'

[Rodman_Rob]

if they're gonna put his name on it, I ain't buying one. or anything else with the dawia name on it for that matter.

WHHHHHOOOOOOOO-HHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOO I caught a 10 INCH bass! YEEEAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!

[lowrider]

^^^^^ doesn't like the ike ^^^^^

[rrw4258]

I have not tried his rod yet... but i have no complaints about Ike, as he is a very talented fisherman, and knows what he is doing... so what if he gets a little excited, or fired up when he's fishing. Just my $.02...

I dont care whos name is on it , or who daiwa sponsers , just as long as that perticular rod can handle 65# braid , and pull up tree stumps , thats the rod for me... and it does look nice , not too hard on the eyes

I don't care if you choose not to buy the rods just cause they have his name on it, but you'd be pretty dumb to not buy anything daiwa makes because of that. Daiwa is my favorite reel company, but I've yet to try their rods. Don't count them out just because of a stupid reason like that.

8' Extra Heavy , Fast Action. What does fast action mean ? And is that good on a flippin stick ?

[bamabassman]

fast action means the tip is very limber. touchy i'd say. i have an abu medium witha fst tip. i like the fast tip meself,hehehehe. flippin? i dunno, i think you'd need a stouter tip. am i right bob, zooker?

[BigBassin144]

Action refers to how much of the rod will bend. The faster theaction, the less of the rod qill bend, so like bama said, the tip tip will bend before the rest of the rod. As for flippin' I think having a rod with a lot of backbone is a must, and since the lower end of a rod doesn't bend as easily ion a fast or x-fast action rod, then it should be berfect. Someone's got a picture describing the difference between power and action. maybe they'll post it.

I have a few of the Ike models and absolutly love them. Ive been useing the 7 ft spinning combo and Casting combo and have no issues with them at all. I have other more expensive setups bith Dawia and others and the Ikes are every bit as good! Go IKE in 2009!

[bamabassman]

hey.... i was at BPS last weekend. and i held the BPS EXTREME, 7' MED WITHA FAST TIP. it was ssssssooooooo nice. on sale now was 99.99, now 69.99. if you can afford it....BUY IT!! i couldn't this time.

[islandbass]

A fast action means that the flex point of the rod will be in the upper 1/3 to 1/4 of rod from the tip. This action is suited quite well for many (but not all) bass fishing techniques.

To bad you will never be as good as Ike

SBK, I think I'm speaking for the group here when I say I'm just about tired of all the negative comments. I haven't figured out yet if you really have a bad attitude, as it seems you do, or if you're trying to be funny in a sarcastic way. Whichever it is, it's getting old.

If your wanting a whoopin stick pick up an AiRRUS Co-Matrix 457 rod...7 footer in the medium heavy. This rod rocks for flipping with braid. Just took second place in a tournament ripping bass out of the grass on sweet beavers on 80lb test braid....

No, It pisses me off when people say stuff about people they DON'T KNOW, I have fished with Mike twice, he is the coolest quitest guy to be around except when he catchs a fish or gets mad

Explain to me how this give YOU the right to say stuff about people you don't know. And who gives a crud if you've fished with mike. I'm sure rodman rob wasn't being mean, just kidding. Cause we all know mike can be a bit of a drama queen at times.

Explain to me why he has the right to make fun of somebody they dont know?

[wareagledc]

all he said was he would not buy it. why do you feel the need to say something about others opinoins?

on subject the rod looks nice but i haven't used it so no opinion from me on uses.

[CMorg]

hahah , I like alittle drama. As long as im not in the middle of it. I already got a flippin stick , and it wasnt the IKE rod , although , I am an IKE fan....check the avitar. This thread was old , but sometimes its good to bring em back.

SBK I have met Ike 3 times and he is a good guy, But the tantrums, and things like kicking fish finder or this spitting deal he's going through, just tells me he needed his @$$ tore up when he was growing up like some of the kids do now days.
