I've been using other brands of m actions rods with my divers for yrs now and the rods did good for walleye on erie. but the old rods didn't match, I had 2 rods of one brand and 2 rods of another brand and 2 more rods of yet another brand. now I have all 6 rods of the same brand.
I went out to the local lake and put out my divers with the new wilderness m rods running 1.8 to 2.0 and they seem to be working good. I don't know how they would work for salmon where you troll faster speeds but I think for walleye there going to work good. they have a good bend in them and should be easy to read the rods when a small fish is on.
I want to thank all you guys for your feed back. and welcome any more feed back.
My buddy bought 2 of these a couple of seasons ago and they worked well enough that I bought a couple as backups to my 6 Shimano TDR's which incidentally have been trouble free for well over a decade, and are also quite affordable. We don't use the Daiwa's for dipsey's as they are not MH actions, which is the least I would recommend for that application. But for DR fishing they have been fine. Not being a heavy user, 3-4 multi day trips a year being typical, I cannot speak to whether they would hold up to more use than that. But they are affordable as I took advantage of a similar deal at fishusa also. If you are a heavy user, I'd recommend a better rod. After all it is only money right?
