I just ordered a Helium 70MHC. I hope that it ends up working well for what I want it to but if it doesnÌt than that is an excuse to get another rod :lol: I am going to use it for weightless senkos in some grass and around some docks and after talking to Clifford that is what he said he recommends so I will try it out and see, I know I wonÌt be disappointed with such a great company and such a variety of rods

No i had been talking about getting one for a little while now but finially decided to go ahead and get it. Now i have to find a reel to get. I thought about gettign a Team Daiwa X air metal but i am not sure i may just get a TDX super tuned.

Well I have been using Daiwa for 15+ years and I have had no problems at all. I may spring out and get a TD Z. I have heard that is a sweet set up also. Are you talking about the new Alphas, I have looked at it but I would like a 6.3 reel and it is a 5.8. But otherwise I would get it. Also I like the Daiwa magnetic brake set on the side of the reel you change it with just a simple click.

WTG sdfd!! I prefer the MC for Senkos so let us know how the HC work's out. You may find it better for pitchin' jigs?

I have a couple of TDZ's on my He70MC's and they make a wonderful package that weighs less than 11 ounces. A Shimano Antares AR reel would fit mighty nicely on that He70HC 8) .

Well it kinda is in my budget, just do i want to spend 350. on it or not :lol: once the rod gets here i will put a TdX on it and see how it feels and then decide what reel to get.

Well LR i thought about the 70MC for teh senko rod but i talked to cliffforsd and he said for the cover i would be around to get the MH so thta is what i got. I have been using a mh for my senkos in the past and it has worked great so that is why i got it. I can always use another rod if i don't like that setup. :lol:

So was it a good choice or a bad choice to get the 70MH?

Yeah i will have to start saving now to order some more rods. Another reason i ordered it because the grass is start to come back finially and there is alot of rocky bottom that i fish so clifford said that would be better rod to suit me. Also have you tried throwing flukes with this rod?

Wow I am surprised that you haven't tried them. Here in Tennessee we are killing them right now on the flukes when we can find them schooling and sometimes just around the docks.
