Jerkbait22 Posted November 30, 2022 Report Share Posted November 30, 2022 I've read the Leviathan vs LDC threads. Just curious how these particular two models compare. I'm looking for a rod to throw 5-6oz glide baits. I have a Leviathan Omega Heavy which is rated 2-6 but it feels like 5oz is pushing it. I love how light the Leviathan rod is for it's size and weight rating but I'd prefer something with a little more horsepower for hooksets (it's very parabolic). Never owned LDC, not sure how much of a fan I am of the spiral wrap. So theres my own personal pros/cons between both, curious what other feedback people have.

Bassmann86 Posted November 30, 2022 Report Share Posted November 30, 2022 Personally I would lean towards the leviathan for 3 reasons.

Jim137a Posted November 30, 2022 Report Share Posted November 30, 2022 Think about a Nameless Customs 807 or possibly 808 or 868 All 3 have more than enough HP to handle 6oz - American made blanks and components made in America LowSpinner 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NicePizzaBass Posted December 1, 2022 Report Share Posted December 1, 2022 Nameless. Best rods hands down, two years zero issues, and he’s great to deal with, quick to respond and super helpful. Jim137a 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buzzed bait Posted December 1, 2022 Report Share Posted December 1, 2022 To answer your actual question, and from someone who actually owns and uses both rods you’re asking about…. If you plan on throwing strictly glides or other treble hooks baits I’d opt for the leviathan. It is a bit lighter which is nice but its really made for treble hooks with the parabolic bend, especially when you’ve hooked a fish and fighting it. That said, the LDC will absolutely perform the task at hand. The great thing about the LDC heavy is that you could also throw most all of your soft baits on that same rod and have the power/backbone needed for the hook set. aoy08, Toro blanco, DrewManFishing and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely not a phenix blank Jzxmnky, Toro blanco and warrenjeffrey 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
