I'm stuck between:
- nitro vapor. I don't know which one, 66 or 70. Are they stiff at the tip?
-samurai 201 or 203, how much grunt do these have?
Any help is appreciated.
Cheers.

I currently own both those Nitros and 101 and 201.
You can rule out the 66 vapor as it is very fast action which suits plastics.
I use my 70 for rolling hards and vibes. It has a nice parabolic bend but has plenty of butt section to pull fish out of snags.
As for the 201, it is a more universal rod but not as "finesse" as a vapor 70. You may want to check out the Samurai 101 as I personally think it will fit between the vapor 70 and samurai 201.
Best of luck and I hope this helps.
