tossin hooks Posted April 19, 2012 Posted April 19, 2012 Today I bought a BPS PQ 4.7:1 ratio and a Veritas Winch series 7'6" MH rod for throwing deep cranks. I've loaded it with 12# P-Line flouro. It feels well balanced and didn't break the bank so I dropped the dough. I mostly fish weeds, points and ledges out to about 12ft so fishing deeper structure is new to me. Does anyone here have any experience with this rod or reel or maybe even this exact combo? I'm most concerned about casting distance to get the lure down its working depth. Quote
Packard Posted April 19, 2012 Posted April 19, 2012 It will work great! Just go fish and have fun. Quote
Super User K_Mac Posted April 19, 2012 Super User Posted April 19, 2012 I am not familiar with the rod, but have 4 PQs. Casting distance will NOT be a problem. I have a 6'6" MH glass rod that combined with a PQ and 12# CXX will throw a 1/4 oz Bandit 100 well into next week. Enjoy your new combo! Quote
gr8outdoorz Posted April 19, 2012 Posted April 19, 2012 Not sure about the rod either, but I have a 5.2:1 PQ on a 7'MM Carbonlite and can throw cranks a good ways.The reel casts very smooth imo. I have heard good things about those rods though. You should be happy with! Quote
NHBassMaster2 Posted April 19, 2012 Posted April 19, 2012 I got this same combo yesterday! Isn't that funny?! I went with the 7ft medium for throwing cranks, this thing has quite a backbone to it. Paired mine with 12lb XPS Fluro and a few squirts of KVD L&L. Going out shortly and will report back! I don't think you'll have any issues throwing deep cranks on that rig though. Enjoy! Quote
bwell Posted April 19, 2012 Posted April 19, 2012 I have that same rod and love it! I also have a BPS 5.1 reel paired with it but its not a PQ, you will love the combo! Quote
SausageFingers Posted April 19, 2012 Posted April 19, 2012 I have a 7'-0" Winch. Its paired with a 6.4:1 Revo SX. Easily one of my favorite setups. The rod is excellent for cranking. You'll enjoy throwing your combination. Quote
