crankbank Posted July 29, 2014 Posted July 29, 2014 Was wondering what your opinions are on the application I should be using the below rod for. It is an older baitcasting setup I picked up off Craig's List a few years back and I would like to start using it a little more. Fenwick HMX 6'6" MH Mod Fast with a Shimano Cruxis (6:4:1ish I think). 1/4 - 1 1/4 oz & 10-25lb. If this rod was a little longer, I would probably pair it up with deeper running cranks, but being 6'6" is there something else I could use it with closer to shore or around the docks? FYI- Other than this setup, the rod I use for cranks is 7' Med Mod. Thanks for any input! Quote
kikstand454 Posted July 29, 2014 Posted July 29, 2014 I'd be using it for spinnerbaits, chatters, and swimjigs. Topwaters too! 3 Quote

Kevin22 Posted July 29, 2014 Posted July 29, 2014 Target casting lipless. Would work good for 1.5-2.5 square bills if you are trying to get them into some tight spots, but I prefer a 7-7'4 for square bills. 1 Quote

Super User smalljaw67 Posted July 30, 2014 Super User Posted July 30, 2014 Great rod for larger jerkbaits, square bills, topwaters, and lipless cranks along with spinnerbaits. 1 Quote
