soopd Posted June 27, 2016 Posted June 27, 2016 I have a 7'2" mh glass Tatula rod that I love throwing chatterbaits with. Would this rod be a good rod to throw 3/4 ounce and under hollow belly swim baits with an exposed hook? Quote
Grantman83 Posted June 27, 2016 Posted June 27, 2016 If the weight you are talking is 3/4 plus the lure then you are pushing the limits of a medium heavy. furthermore, a glass rod has a lot of give and bend which in my opinion isn't really what you want for a large exposed single hook. I would honestly be throwing that lure on a heavy rod with a fast action at least. Quote
Super User Jrob78 Posted June 28, 2016 Super User Posted June 28, 2016 I would probably look at the 7'6" HF for those weights and larger hollow bellys. Sorry, I see you already have the glass rod, I missed that on first read. You could try it and see how it works. It's less than ideal though. Quote
Super User webertime Posted June 28, 2016 Super User Posted June 28, 2016 I throw that exact bait configuration on a 7'2" H Tatula. It's pretty awesome. Quote
