Delaware Valley Tackle Posted December 25, 2014 Posted December 25, 2014 The highest quality ML/XF 7' micro guide rod you can afford Quote
Super User Catt Posted December 25, 2014 Super User Posted December 25, 2014 Opinions on best all around soft plastic bait caster (excluding drop shot, shakey head, etc) Thanks! The one on the deck of my boat & no you can't use it! 4 Quote
a1712 Posted December 25, 2014 Posted December 25, 2014 Shimano Cumara HM1 7'2" Med./Ext. Fast, scary what you can feel with it. Brian. Quote
Super User Sam Posted December 25, 2014 Super User Posted December 25, 2014 Any G. Loomis NRX rod you select. 1 Quote
Super User HoosierHawgs Posted December 26, 2014 Super User Posted December 26, 2014 This is a fairly vague question... But I can't stress enough that the best rod is the rod YOU like the best. It may feel great to you but feel like junk to someone else and vice versa. 1 Quote
Super User FishTank Posted December 26, 2014 Super User Posted December 26, 2014 Out of what I own.... G. Loomis 803C GLX Jig and Worm Rod. Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted December 26, 2014 Super User Posted December 26, 2014 I have two: Shimano BCR893C/ Curado 50E/ Yo-Zuri Hybrid #6 Pinnacle DHC7-731CAH/ Primmus/ TUF-Line Tournament 8/ Tatsu leader Currently on sale for $228.88 Quote
Global Moderator Mike L Posted December 26, 2014 Global Moderator Posted December 26, 2014 For me it's a 7ft mh/f Fenwick Techna A/V w/Curado E7 and 15# Invisex. I'm probably gonna re spool with 12# or 15# Tatsu and try it. Mike Quote
Grantman83 Posted December 26, 2014 Posted December 26, 2014 I got too many that I use. If I had to take one and one only, it would be my DX742 and Chronarch d with a shallow avail spool and 10lb sniper. That's unweighted plastics of course. Weighted would be a whole different setup Quote
BigMoneyGrip Posted December 26, 2014 Posted December 26, 2014 I have a Falcon Cara micro in the finesse jig that is quiet impressive. Using a Curado 50E and 10lbs InvizX on it. It is also my lightest combo. Quote
Arv Posted December 26, 2014 Posted December 26, 2014 I also like my dx742c. I had a 744c that I really liked a lot too,but I am trying out the old black cumara. I haven't had much chance to fish it yet, but it does feel better in hand with my reels so far. Quote
Super User ww2farmer Posted December 26, 2014 Super User Posted December 26, 2014 My most versatile rod is probably my 7' M Abu Vendetta casting rod. Other than deep cranking, punching mats, and frogging heavy slop, it does everything. May not be the best tool for some individual task's, but it'll work........and it don't break the bank at $80.

Super User WRB Posted December 26, 2014 Super User Posted December 26, 2014 Opinions on best all around soft plastic bait caster (excluding drop shot, shakey head, etc) Thanks!Select your soft plastic rod to match the cover or structure, the line strength, weight size and hook wire dia/ size. If you are using 12-15 lb line, fishing light to moderate cover, with 3/16-1/2 oz weight and standard worm hooks 3/0-4/0, a 3 to 4 power (MH), fast action, 7' jig/worm rod should work....your basic bass rod.Don't under power weedless rigged soft plastic, you will miss too many hook sets.

Super User Bankbeater Posted December 26, 2014 Super User Posted December 26, 2014 I'm not going into makes and models, but I like a 6'-6" or 7' Heavy with a fast tip. I like to fish right in the middle of weeds, and you never know when you are going to have to pull up a ton of weeds with the fish. 1 Quote
Alpha Male Posted December 27, 2014 Posted December 27, 2014 I use a st croix LTB Med-fast 7'1" and love it Quote
Brocephus Fishing Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 I'm not going into makes and models, but I like a 6'-6" or 7' Heavy with a fast tip. I like to fish right in the middle of weeds, and you never know when you are going to have to pull up a ton of weeds with the fish. Ditto, 6'6'' or 7' Heavy or Medium Heavy with a Fast action. But if you must know my opinion on particular brand, I stand by anything Falcon. Quote
Overrun Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 Either a G Loomis BCR893 GLX or a Megabass Orochi XX EMTF. Quote
