    The RDR76L rod is a great downrigger rod and is as tough as nails, but with that toughness of the e-glass comes a loss of feel and added weight. For my money, I prefer the SP840 Forecast Popping Blank for its light weight and extreme sensitivity in the top half of the rod. I love to feel every head shake. It also has a bit more backbone in the lower third of the rod. I am not a big fan of the noodle rod feel which bends all the way down to the reel. Just my personal preference. I have both blanks and they both are fun to fish.

    Come to the ISE show in March and Buy you some Velocity Rods. They will be on sale at a great price and you will be most satisfied. Various colors, glass, graphite and the Ninja mix.
