I just threw a Yamatanuki around in there. I can’t believe a fish would bite that thing. Literally looks like a hunk of solid plastic just sinking.

Anyone do this? Mom has a pool and I was bored so I grabbed my baby bucca shad and headed over. Man, I’m going to run all my baits through It now. Pretty awesome watching the bait action. I’m probably way behind on doing this but It changed my life lol Got a sweet video of the baby bull shad too.

I really think this is what I’m going to do. I’ve got so many rods that would work for different things. Just need the right gear ratio and line and I’m set.

It’s that time of year. But not what won the tournament.

So many better options. Less expensive better options even.

Same

I don’t think so. I use mine with straight 14lb fc. The rod is rated for 1/8oz to 1oz. I use mine for finesse jigs, weighted hook flukes, light 1/4 oz t-rigs. Dark sleepers. Excellent rod. Google Brent erhler tatula elite finesse rod and there’s a great video where he talks about It.

I agree. That was a “rule” I was told when I got started. Big girls ambush, they aren’t out chasing much.

Nothing? At all?

Brent erhler 7’ MMH Finesse or 7’3” All Purpose. or go to the Ish lineup if you like the big rods.

Those may be the ticket right there!

Is It heavy and bulky? I like a slim light rod.

Maybe a 7’1” heavy plus Zodias? It’s rated 7/16 - 2oz

I also have some x-zone craws in 3.5”. For now I’ll cut them down to fit.

FYI I have some 3.5” Z-craws and they are about an inch too big for these. I need 2.5” trailers.

Just got home from academy with 3 SK Bitsy Flips and 2 tour grade SK Finesse Jigs all 1/4oz obviously. They had nothing in small trailers though. Wanted to see some in person. I’ll have to order some now. oh, grabbed a white back shad magdraft too.

I actually sold It and just found out the guy I sold It to is using It for magdrafts! I screwed that up but didn’t think about magdrafts then.

Any thoughts on a Dobyns 746c for this? Yeah I know it’s an inch longer than I said

I’ll be throwing the magdraft way more than a bull shad. Would the TB be too much Rod for strictly 1.3 oz magdrafts?

My jerkbaits are 1/2oz Vision 110s. Throw them on a Dobyns Kadens 610-4cb jerkbait rod, 12lb fc. SV for me. I have the Tat limited sv 7.1 on mine.

I’ll be using It with 14-16lb fc.

I’m looking for a swimbait rod for 6” magdrafts (freestyle and regular) and 5” and 6” bull shads. On The scale the regular magdraft is 1.25 oz and the freestyle is 1.3 oz with 6/0 beast hook. The bull Shads are advertised at 1.35oz and 2oz for the 5 and 6. I want a 7’ (7’3” max) rod. I will not be bomb casting. I will be flipping these around, casting 20 yards around points, etc. I do currently have an Orochi Perfect Pitch, which they say is a great magdraft rod, however it’s setup with an 8.1 reel. Also it’s under powered for a bull Shad I think. Alternatively I could just buy and spool up a 6.2 reel and put It on the perfect pitch when I want to throw magdrafts.

If this is one of those 2000+ boat big fish tourneys, good luck is all I’ll say.

Also you could probably just drag a t-rig 10” worm around the bottom. A lot of my fish are coming up off the base of the tree to eat the falling senko.
