gall Posted February 13, 2017 Posted February 13, 2017 Since I always get well informed answers on here thought I'd try again I'm on the hunt for a new spinning rod for light tw light Texas rigs 1/8oz weights etc and other finesse applications for skinny Creek and river sm I was looking at the mojo bass 6'8 m/xf and was wondering if I could use that not only for the whacky rig as listed but also the presentation I mentioned above or would the 6'10 ml be better choice I held the rods and they felt pretty good with the stradic fk 2500 I have Quote
Super User webertime Posted February 13, 2017 Super User Posted February 13, 2017 It is a great whacky rod. Great tube rod too. Quote
Guest Posted February 14, 2017 Posted February 14, 2017 I think it will be fine for what your going to be using it for. Quote
Smallieseeker Posted February 14, 2017 Posted February 14, 2017 Great rod I have one that I fished with all last summer/fall and love it. I have used it for mainly weightless Texas rigs and tubes but have used smaller paddle tail swimbaits with good results. Quote
jbw252 Posted February 14, 2017 Posted February 14, 2017 Great rod choice from a great company. Quote
gall Posted February 14, 2017 Author Posted February 14, 2017 Thanks guys I forgot to mention the user of tubes I'm actually embarrassed ha but that's what I needed to hear cause i mean it will be uses for 98% soft plastic with occasional hardbait so it sounds like that's the rod then luckily bps has spring fishing classic about to kick off so I can do a rod trade in Quote
Super User flyfisher Posted February 14, 2017 Super User Posted February 14, 2017 I think that rod is one of the best rods in their lineup as far as the Mojo bass goes. IT will do what you would like it to do and do it well. Quote
Super User ww2farmer Posted February 14, 2017 Super User Posted February 14, 2017 One of my favorite rods of all time.............and I think I am going to re-add it to my arsenal now that the are coming in the SCIII blank. 1 Quote
gall Posted February 14, 2017 Author Posted February 14, 2017 This is why I always ask here cause the responses I get always help me u guess I'm gonna get a rod after all at the fishing classic I was a little put our by bps rod choices lately even cabelas has more choices which was shocking to me but hey saving 20/30$ I'm not gonna argue with I never had a st croix before and was gonna get the avid x would that he a better choice or is the mojo a better choice for the price point and all that Quote
Guest Posted February 14, 2017 Posted February 14, 2017 The avid of is a decent rod but the mojo is better the guides are stronger and the blanks on the rod are also significantly stronger and sensitive I think you should go mojo! Quote
gall Posted February 14, 2017 Author Posted February 14, 2017 That's what u was leaning to also and the guides on the avid x I saw are a little small and I use braid with a fc leader and I'm. Worried about the knit passing thru the guides Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted February 14, 2017 Global Moderator Posted February 14, 2017 I have one and it's one of the best all around spinning rods I've owned. I fish braid to a leader on mine and there's no issues with the knot going through the guides. Quote
gall Posted February 14, 2017 Author Posted February 14, 2017 What kind of knot. Do you use for the leader connection Quote

gall Posted February 15, 2017 Author Posted February 15, 2017 Ohhhh yeah the guides on the mojo are not a worry the guides on the avid x seem like it could be a issue Quote
