loudcherokee Posted October 6, 2013 Posted October 6, 2013 Im about to drive almost 2 hours to cabelas. They have the 13 omens in stock. For finesse spinning, they have a 7'3" in medium. Is this what i want? Is 7'3 too long for finesse? I was lookin for 7'1", maybe shorter. Also, in baitcasting, to be mated to lews tp in 7.1:1 for frog,jig,burning bladed baits, weighted plastics, they have 7'3" medium heavy. Again, was looking for 7'1". Is tbis what i want? Is 7'3 too long? LC Quote
Cgrinder Posted October 6, 2013 Posted October 6, 2013 They should be fine. You might want ML for finesse, but it kinda depends on what you do for "finesse". Quote
Super User Grizzn N Bassin Posted October 6, 2013 Super User Posted October 6, 2013 I likw medium heavy I have heavy rod but I like a little more tip for longer cast.. but 7,3 is a fine length Quote
loudcherokee Posted October 6, 2013 Author Posted October 6, 2013 They should be fine. You might want ML for finesse, but it kinda depends on what you do for "finesse". weightless worms, light weight worms (1/8 ounce and below), small rooster tails, topwater poppers that are too small to cast with a baitcaster.

Arv Posted October 6, 2013 Posted October 6, 2013 To me, a lot of the reason I would choose a shorter rod is for casting accuracy. A longer rod for more hook setting ability. My shorter rods I use primarily for squarebills, senkos, jigs/trigs and spinnerbaits in tight quarters. My longer rods are more for dragging jigs or plastics (c or trigs). I think it depends on what you want to use the rod for, specifically. As far as a big difference between 7'1 and 7'3, I doubt I'd be able to tell THAT much of a difference with 2 inches there or not. Some people might, I don't really. I can definitely tell a difference between, say, a 6'9 and a 7'2. Quote
loudcherokee Posted October 7, 2013 Author Posted October 7, 2013 Thanks for all the help folks! LC Quote
Super User David P Posted October 7, 2013 Super User Posted October 7, 2013 ML rod if you're going below 1/8oz Longer rod the better for frogs, jigs, etc... That MH might be a little light to throw frogs on, but should work great with everything else listed. Hope you got what you wanted. Quote
