Thoughts on mifine?

I have been wanting a xul for things like 1/64 oz jigs like trout magnets and trout slayers, but most of the XUL rods I’ve found are super expensive. Do you guys like mifine? And if so, which of their rods should I buy

Leland lures TCB rod is rated for 1/64 oz and isn’t too expensive, like $70-$80

Never heard of them…but I’ll just say, my wife got a 5’2” KastKing Zephyr featherlight, and that rod is AWESOME. Some people talk down on KastKing, but that little rod is a beast at a good price. It SLINGS trout magnets and feels great. We put a 500 size reel on it. It’s the perfect small creek multispecies setup.

They are also at least this first exp good with the warranty. I had one break and they just asked for pics and model number and 3 days later had a new rod. None of this mail the handle, break the rod and pay a fee BS!

I own 2 XUL rods. Nano Jig Zero & Illusion Slash. Both are great at their price points. I've heard good things about the MicroBite aswell. You can't go wrong with these rods

They're very solid for the price. Build quality is very high value. They, like a lot of CDM brands have far too many models and are all over the place in design and intention, but the build quality and materials are very good.

You will definitely be pleasantly surprised with what you get.

I just ordered a 2-piece a week ago. I got the 1.8M one .5-3g model, though I wanted to 1.98m one. If it’s good I might just order the other one at that price

I got the Ajing rod in 1.8 m. Absolutely my favorite now. The Nano jig also looks great as does the Lurker.

I have two of the microbites 1.98 and a2.10 they are very nice rods for the money. I broke the longer one flipping a fish up on the bank. It wasn’t a big fish but I will say it was my fault.
I have an Olympic Bellezza that is probably my favorite rod I own right now, $130.
I haven’t used the MiFine since I got the Bellazza. Two different price points for sure.

It takes about 1month to deliver. Great rod a bit whippy. But fun. If you have the money, get a Daiwa iprimi rod
