jeb2 Posted July 9, 2012 Posted July 9, 2012 hey guys. what type of rod is beast for throwing a carolina rig? med / med-heav / heav ??????? 6'6"? 7'0"? 7'6"? im lost. thanks for the help I like longer rods. Makes casting with longer leaders easier. And better to set the hook with on long/deep hits. The action will depend on the weight size. ML would be up to 5/8, maybe 3/4. Heavy would be best over that, IMO. Quote
BassmanDan Posted July 9, 2012 Posted July 9, 2012 I have (and recommend) a Falcon LowRider XG 7ft H Carolina Lizard dragger...awesome c-rig rod! Quote
riskkid 2 Posted July 9, 2012 Posted July 9, 2012 I use a St Croix Avid 7' MH F, I usually use 1/2 or 3/4 weights. Quote
Delaware Valley Tackle Posted July 9, 2012 Posted July 9, 2012 I reccomend a MH at least, preferably Hvy/F. Quote
Global Moderator Mike L Posted July 9, 2012 Global Moderator Posted July 9, 2012 I have (and recommend) a Falcon LowRider XG 7ft H Carolina Lizard dragger...awesome c-rig rod! I have the original Falcon "lizard dragger" There are only a very few lakes, which are all in Central Fla, that are over 10 - 15 ft deep that I've used it on. but to me it's the perfect rod. I also use that as my frog rod. Mike Quote
mikeeasttn Posted July 10, 2012 Posted July 10, 2012 I use a Shimano Crucial Crankbait Rod 7'11" in MH that I use and have been well pleased with. Use to use shorter rods but the longer rod seems to work better for me. Quote
Jim_M Posted July 10, 2012 Posted July 10, 2012 I use a 7'-6" Heavy, Fast action rod. Casting good sized plastic creature baits with a 1oz weight. Serious water coverage. Quote
NitroZ9 Posted July 10, 2012 Posted July 10, 2012 There is rarely a day on the water that I'm not throwing a rig. I use a 7 ft. Heavy Denali Rosewood Worm/Jig Rod. The same rod in MH will also work fine. I've always thought I'd like to go to a little bit longer rod, but have never found one I liked. Denali has just come out with a Terry Bolton signature model which is a 7'2" Heavy. I think that rod is going to be the real deal for Riggin. Quote
