Dyerbassman Posted July 7, 2013 Posted July 7, 2013 I was recently given an unused 9' rod, heavy action. Is there any bass application that you can think of that I could use this for???? It's awfully long.... Quote
Super User Teal Posted July 7, 2013 Super User Posted July 7, 2013 What is the line and lure ratings?? First thing that came to mind was big swim baits, but i would need to know more about the rod. Quote
Dyerbassman Posted July 7, 2013 Author Posted July 7, 2013 1 oz. - 4 oz. Lures, 15 - 40 lb test. Quote
CPBassFishing Posted July 7, 2013 Posted July 7, 2013 Big hard swimbaits and punching. Spool a reel up with 65lb braid and go to town. Quote
Kevin22 Posted July 7, 2013 Posted July 7, 2013 Sell it to a pike/musky angler and buy a rod you will use. 1 Quote
Blues19 Posted July 7, 2013 Posted July 7, 2013 Good Grief, thats a monster of a rod. I would think it would be good for big swimbaits, maybe the A rig? Quote
BradH Posted July 7, 2013 Posted July 7, 2013 Sounds like a Salmon rod. They usually have a much more moderate action than a Musky rod. 10XD cranks? Quote
29JMP29 Posted July 7, 2013 Posted July 7, 2013 start muskie fishing if you have the money.. its hard work but its fun. otherwise I would use it for big swimbaits Quote
catch anything Posted July 7, 2013 Posted July 7, 2013 sounds like with that rod its time to go surf fishing haha Quote
Dyerbassman Posted July 7, 2013 Author Posted July 7, 2013 Sell it to a pike/musky angler and buy a rod you will use.That's exactly what I was thinking, but thought I would ask you all first. Thanks! Quote
Super User SirSnookalot Posted July 7, 2013 Super User Posted July 7, 2013 I was recently given an unused 9' rod, heavy action. Is there any bass application that you can think of that I could use this for???? It's awfully long.... Casting or spinning? I'd like it for surf or pier use, would not like it for a boat rod. 2 Quote
OkeechobeeAngler Posted July 7, 2013 Posted July 7, 2013 It would make a good beach/jetty pole. Quote
The Young Gun Posted July 8, 2013 Posted July 8, 2013 start muskie fishing if you have the money.. its hard work but its fun. otherwise I would use it for big swimbaits Musky fishing is the reason my wallet is always empty. Everything's so expensive.... A 9' 1-4oz rod sounds like a heck of a good musky bucktail rod... I use a 8' fenwick ET For mine.. Quote
Lucky Craft Man Posted July 8, 2013 Posted July 8, 2013 Who is the maker of the rod? It would be a pretty good A-Rig Rod. It might be too heavy for anything else in the bass world. Quote
Dyerbassman Posted July 8, 2013 Author Posted July 8, 2013 Who is the maker of the rod? It would be a pretty good A-Rig Rod. It might be too heavy for anything else in the bass world. Its a BPS rod. I just noticed it says Pete Mania on it. Musky rod. There are quite a bit of musky fisherman around here in Indiana, so I may be able to unload it. Quote
Super User WRB Posted July 8, 2013 Super User Posted July 8, 2013 You can't use a rod over 8' when tourneyment bass fishing, no length limit for relational fishing use. The original flipping rods were 14' long! Tom Quote
Super User SirSnookalot Posted July 8, 2013 Super User Posted July 8, 2013 It would make a good beach/jetty pole. I don't see it too useful for anything else, put some bait on it and chunk it out. It may say muskie on it, I'd rather have a shorter rod to pull those fish out of cover. If there is little cover I don't think a rod that heavy is needed, only to handle the weight of the lures.
