bassmaster3541 Posted May 21, 2012 Posted May 21, 2012 I will mostly be fishing bigger worms like Zoom Ol' Monsters and stuff like that on it. First of all, what specs? I was thinking between 7-3 and 7-6, leaning more towards 7-6 but am really not sure what would be best. Medium heavy fast sound about right? Aside from that, what specific rod would you recomend? I really can't decide. I am by no means rolling in the cash, but I am considering going for a dobyns champion possibly, but that again I kind of just want to stick with something cheaper and get a veritas or something in the 100-150 range. What do you guys think? Thank you all in advance Quote
A-Rob Posted May 21, 2012 Posted May 21, 2012 I fish them on 7'0" MH fast rod, but I feel like you could step it up to 7'6" for sure. I fish a Daiwa Procyon (a relatively cheap rod that has been a work horse for me). It works for me, but I'd trade it for a Dobyns if I could haha Quote
Alex_Mega Posted May 21, 2012 Posted May 21, 2012 You should take a look at Cumara, a few weeks ago, price was about 169US$ on TWH greets Quote
Ima Bass Ninja Posted May 21, 2012 Posted May 21, 2012 I use a 7'3" vendetta. Its been a good rod with great action and the length seems perfect for me . Not to short, and not to long, but would certainly go up to a veritas if given the option. Quote
NitroZ9 Posted May 21, 2012 Posted May 21, 2012 Take a look at Denali Rods. I use the 7' MH Rosewood Worm/Jig Rod for that type application. The same rod will also work for Carolina Rig, 1/8 oz. Texas Rigs and it also throws wacky rigged Senkos extremely well. It is a very versatile rod. It sells for $200. These rods are comparable to the Loomis IMX rods I had previously been using. Denali also has a Jadewood line of rods that sell for $100. This is a very popular line of rods for Denali. I have the Jadewood cranking rod and I honestly don't think you'll find a nicer $100 rod.

Megastink Posted May 22, 2012 Posted May 22, 2012 If you want something lightweight, very sensitive, perfect action, and affordable, you need look no further than Powell. You can get a 7' MH Max Series for $140, or wait until certain websites have their Memorial Day sale... Max series rods come with a lifetime warranty and great customer service (two very important, but often overlooked qualities when selecting a new rod). If money is an issue, buy one of their 7'2" MH Diesel Series rod. It comes with no warranty, but for $70, who cares? Bottom line is: Powell has what you are looking for! Quote

Super User 00 mod Posted May 22, 2012 Super User Posted May 22, 2012 My rod for what you are looking at is a St Croix Avid AVC70mhf. Jeff Quote

bassmaster3541 Posted May 22, 2012 Author Posted May 22, 2012 Went with a Dobyns Champion extreme 743C, I get a good deal on them brand new, so I'm only paying about 200 for it Quote
