Spinnerbait/Chatterbait/Swim Jig rod

[Carterjig68]

Ok so currently I have a spinnerbait rod that is a dobyns savvy 734 (7"3 heavy fast action) and a Chatterbait rod which is a 733 fury (7"3 mh fast action) which feels slower. I am now considering throwing both spinnerbaits and chatterbaits on the 733 and using the 734 for swimjigs with 40 lb braid. Any thoughts? Would this be better since the 734 is pretty stiff?

I like a mh to truly swim the jig in most wood and grass ...not in Florida ... In Florida I swim it with a 8ft xh ... I often have the same thoughts .. Sounds to me like that will be a better plan to use the 734 for jigs and the MH for the bladed applications

Faster and stiffer are two different things. I'd use which ever loads and casts the bait you choose the best.

I used to throw a swimjig on a Powell 706 CB: 7' Heavy cranking Rod with 40lb braid. I'd throw all three on the MH.

I think a lot depends on the kind of swimjig your using. If your throwing big cali swimjigs and 5in trailers I want big beefy rod. If im throwing more coosa river style then I could go down to a mh

I throw all 3 on MH/F. Never had an issue doing so.

Use whichever one feels best to you that lets you throw it all day without fatigue.  Remember there are no hard or fast rules, sometimes personal preference trumps what a manufacturer may specifically dictate a rod should be used for.  I personally like a softer tip for chatterbaits because it lets me whip out of the water and back out easier, but if you like a stiffer tip and it gets the job done and you feel fine at the end of the day, by all means keep doing it.

6'10'' MH Daiwa Cielo with 14-15 lb line handles all Chatterbait and most spinnerbait duties for me.

I fish spinnerbaits on a 7' 2" MH/F, bladed jigs on a 6' 6" MH/F, and I don't fish swimjigs hardly ever.

i fish all 3 of those on the same rod, Daiwa Tatula 6'10" MH/F

Similar to my Cielo. Love that rod for these techniques

3/4oz. and up I would go with the heavy, under 3/4 of an ounce the medium heavy would by better.

I use a 7'3 mh/f

I use a 7' mh/f for all 3, has been working great for me. One is a duckett, the other a *** black, keep a spinner on one and a chatterbait on the other, and just keep casting. I use the same rods for t-rigged soft plastics too.

I use the fury 705cb for deep cranking and squarebills/lipless baits.

I'm a Dobyn's guy and I would use the 733 with braid for the swim jig, the 734 for the spinnerbait and chatterbait. I guess there are other factors like cover, and weight of spinnerbait and swim jig. I fish fairly heavy grass with the swim jig and use a 733 with braid. I throw 1/2 oz spinnerbaits on the 734.

The 734 is an extremely versatile rod which is why I own 3, and should have 6!!!

^^ what he said. If I still had my champions the spinnerbaits and chatterbaits would be on the 34 and the swim jigs on the 33. Just my personal preference for how everything felt and handled.
