PABASS Posted May 21, 2012 Posted May 21, 2012 Everyone, Looking at buying a new setup to focus on chatter-baits, spinner-baits and topwater action (Mainly buzz-baits and Pop-Rs) From reading St-Croix website the MBC70MHF Spinnerbait 7' MH Fast, looks to be my best bet, however any other recommendations in the same price range? Going with a Shimano Chronarch 200E Series Casting Reel 6.5:1 and a MBC70MHF Spinnerbait 7' MH Fast, what you think? Quote
KevO Posted May 21, 2012 Posted May 21, 2012 Great reel, I prefer the 7.0:1 for those techniques, thats just me though and the rod will be just fine. Enjoy! Quote
Dr. Watson Posted May 22, 2012 Posted May 22, 2012 just take into mind that St. Croix rods are generally stiffer than most other manufacturers. A MH will act more like a H, I have a 7' LTB "Teaser" and it double not only for what it was built for, finesse tactics, but also as a lighter jig and worm rod. Quote
Super User BASSclary Posted May 23, 2012 Super User Posted May 23, 2012 I find if you're spinnerbaiting in any sort of cover, I really like the MH/F from St.Croix. However for open water its a little stiff. Quote
Mike__D Posted May 24, 2012 Posted May 24, 2012 my spinnerbait rod if the 7MHF avid and it works just fine IMO. Mike D Quote
Super User new2BC4bass Posted May 24, 2012 Super User Posted May 24, 2012 Welcome! I'm in Eastern PA. My Cumara 7' MHF has doubled as a spinnerbait rod just fine. DVT can build you a very nice rod. Support our sponsers. Quote

I may be wrong but to my knowledge there is no 7MHF Cumara, their is a 7MHMF Cumara Reaction model. mike d Quote

jtesch Posted June 3, 2012 Posted June 3, 2012 Abu veritas the the microguides is a steal for the money. If weight is an issue the Crucial is a great rod I like it more than my St. croix rage and honestly the BPS carbonlite is a really nice rod for 79 bucks right now. I have a couple of them and they feel alot like the Crucials. The Veritas is a little heavier but still a great rod and would be perfect for fishing with reaction lures as you don't need a super sensitive rod and 100 bucks for a rod with SIC guides c'mon Quote
Michael DiNardo Posted June 3, 2012 Posted June 3, 2012 I think your selection of rod/reel is ok, but I think a lighter action rod would be better for Pop Rs and the like. Mike Quote
