I purchased my first and only G Loomis rod this past Nov.'14. Its an NRX spinning rod that I love. Very light, very sensitive, and I love the looks. I would like to upgrade all my rods now to GLX and NRX rods. I need some help from you guys as to which ones for each technique. I asked this on another forum and am looking for some more suggestions. BTW, I am not a huge fan of really long rods but if its a must for a specific technique, then I will consider it. Thanks.
Jerkbaits- I'd like to stay in the 6'6"-6'8" range. Mostly in the 1/2oz range
Spinnerbaits- I like to be between 6'10"-7'3" range. 3/8-1/2oz range
Topwater- 6'6"-7' range. 1/4oz-1/2oz poppers and walking baits
Pitchin'jigs/Frogs-7'-7'3"range. I mostly use 1/2oz jigs but would like something that can handle at least a 1oz jig
Worms-7'-7'3" range. As light as 1/4oz-1/2oz
Square bill cranks-7'. Your typical square bills
Lip-less cranks-7'. Something that can handle up to a 3/4oz crank
My favorite is pearl white. I will also use blue glimmer, chartruese, lemon, pearl white w/ chart. tail, albino, pretty much any color will work as long as you know how to work it. Dont be afraid to jerk aggressively and fast.
Its impossible to not catch a fish on a fluke. Its also impossible to not have a great time doing so. Its my go-to bait. Fish it weightless with 8lb fluoro. 3/0 EWG hook. Fish it quickly, with hard snaps on slack line. Get ready for some violent strikes.
