Swimjigger

Looking into buying a new CB rod, I know this is a dumb questions but iv always wondered about it, I have a few quantum 7'11 and halo 7'11 cranking rods and my dad has all Shimano, my rods are light but very big around and very limber on the other hand his 7'11(Shimano and st.croix) are small in diamnter and I like the feeling of his more than mine! I just don't like the feel of a fat rod that's that limber just wondering what is the differnce in the blanks the rods are made out of or the material! They are both for deep divers but why the size difference. I do not want another fat rod just want to know the differnce so I'll stay away! Thanks

Hey guys, I just ordered a new Irod it's the stone cold swim jig/bladed jig rod 3/8-1oz to replace an old rod. I got this rod to be my primary swim jig/4.5inch hollow body swim bait rod. Iv always threw these baits on an medium heavy/fast tip rod. When I ordered rod I saw it was a medium heavy swim jig rod so thought I'd give it a try. It has not came in yet but after looking closer to Other forums it is a medium heavy/ moderate fast tip. Always heard you wanted a fast tip for single hook baits. Just wondering if anyone has used one of these rods or what your thought on it is. I fishing Toledo/ Rayburn so not just super thick grass but mild. Usually throw 3/8-1/2oz swim jig. To sum this up just wondering if you think I can get a solid hook set on in grass wth a moderate fast tip? Thanks
