CrustyMono Posted January 21, 2017 Posted January 21, 2017 Would this rod serve me well as a texas rig and frog rod with 50lb braid? Quote
Super User QUAKEnSHAKE Posted January 22, 2017 Super User Posted January 22, 2017 It will work the 7' H/F weighs 3.9ounces Okuma Helios has a 7'6" H/F if the extra length isnt an issue, the weight is only 4.2ounces and at walmart its $134 https://www.walmart.com/ip/Okuma-Helios-7-Medium-Cast-Rod/34742964#about-item On site under ACTUAL COLOR choose Multi color then under CLOTHING SIZE pick the 7'6"1H I have a 7' M/F and 7' MH/F they are very nice rods. 2 Quote

You beat me posting the weight. Crusty you will like the light weight of this rod. I have a couple 7' Mediums. Naturally I had to put a Helios Air on the first one. Love how light the combo is. Don't know whether I should put another Helios Air on the second or go with a Primmus Xi HS at .2 oz. heavier. I don't mind fishing heavier rods and reels, but have to admit these feather light combos sure bring a smile. 2 Quote
WdyCrankbait Posted January 22, 2017 Posted January 22, 2017 I have this rod and find it ok, not my best contact rod. Yes, it is stupid light, but my Powell's are better for contact lures. Too be honest, I find this rod for me for small square bill crankbaits. Quote
