PitchinJigz Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 I have a Gander Mtn Vortex 6'6" MH casting rod and it is a X/F action. What should I use it for? I was thinking skipping jigs, close-cover spinnerbaits, and shore fishing. Any other ideas? 1 Quote
Super User FishTank Posted February 27, 2015 Super User Posted February 27, 2015 Jigs would be ok but I would use for weightless senko and any other T-rig stuff. 1 Quote
Super User fishballer06 Posted February 28, 2015 Super User Posted February 28, 2015 Plastics, or even jerkbaits. Quote
PitchinJigz Posted February 28, 2015 Author Posted February 28, 2015 Jigs would be ok but I would use for weightless senko and any other T-rig stuff. I was thinking plastics, too. And for jigs I would only skip docks with it. I have a different rod I like better for jigs. Quote
Penguino Posted February 28, 2015 Posted February 28, 2015 How bout you write a review for it? It looks like a good rod, and I am pretty interested in it. Quote
Catch 22 Posted March 1, 2015 Posted March 1, 2015 I just picked up two of them @ $20 ea. Salisbury ,Md. Haven`t used them much do to the hard water,but the little bit I did get in with them suited me.Not sure they would handle a heavy spinner bait well.Jerks and jigs will be the primary use. C22 Quote

C22 The blank is sensitive, but a little bit brittle. Probably not the best for spinnerbaits. Quote
lecisnith Posted March 1, 2015 Posted March 1, 2015 I've got one that I use for jerks. Short rod, short handle. Gives good action. Quote
Super User smalljaw67 Posted March 1, 2015 Super User Posted March 1, 2015 I would use it for weightless 5" Senko's , perfect for roll casting and skipping to close targets. I'd also use flukes with it, and northern style swim jigs. Quote
