RedHeadAngler Posted February 7, 2016 Posted February 7, 2016 I posted this topic before and I didn't get may responses so I figured I would try again. I recently bought a 7'6" MH bass pro extreme rod for flipping, Pitching, and frogging. I don't have a basic 7' MH yet so would it be good use this rod for some basic techniques? Go panthers!!! Quote
sprint61 Posted February 7, 2016 Posted February 7, 2016 Use it for anything you would a 7'mh rod for only difference is 6 inches. Quote
Super User BrianinMD Posted February 7, 2016 Super User Posted February 7, 2016 It should work just fine, the extra length will help give a little casting length. As long as the weight of the bait you throw is enough to load up for cast it will be good for jigs, t-rigs, c-rigs and everything else a MH does. Extra length will not change that. Quote
Fishin' Fool Posted February 7, 2016 Posted February 7, 2016 Personally I like a 7'6" rod as my worm, tube, senko rod. Quote
blckshirt98 Posted February 8, 2016 Posted February 8, 2016 Remember 20 years ago all of these specialized rods didn't exist and fish were still being caught. No matter how many different "technique specific" rods are put out there by the manufacturers, it's still just a blank with guides. Tie on some various lures and see if the action works, I think you'll be surprised at the range of baits a single rod can handle and still catch fish. Quote
Super User WRB Posted February 8, 2016 Super User Posted February 8, 2016 This rod comes in 2 versions, standard MH 3/8-3/4 oz and Telescopic MHT 3/8-1 1/2 oz, which rod do you have? The MHT list double the lure weight range meaning it's a Heavy power rod verses a MH. I haven't any experience with either rod so can't give you advice other than the rod is too long to cast easily with accuracy. Longer rods a good for rigs like a C-rig, crank baits hollow body swimbaits. Tom Quote
