Happy New Year!
Just wanted to let everyone know a little about the sensitivity of my new Z-Bone rod. Been waiting about a week for an opportunity to test my new ZLE70MHC for the first time, and finally got out yesterday to fish. Caught my first fish on the year (a nice 2.5# bass) on the Z-Bone using a 4" Senko. Although the weather was very cold and windy and the fish were not very cooperative, I was absolutely amazed at being able to feel this slight "tap" so well! (Then caught another "dink" shortly after that which, considering the poor weather conditions, I probably should have never felt in the first place....)
I'm completely sold on the Z-Bone concept, and hope to add a few more Z-Bones to my arsenal in the not-too-distant future! This is the most sensitive rod I have ever used, and think I agree that the Micro guides did help to reduce "backlashes" while throwing into a strong wind. I hope everyone has a chance to fish with a Z-Bone soon; I'm convinced it's $$$ well spent!
