Carolina Rig Rod recommendations

[chris55552]

Hey guys... What would be a great rod for Carolina Rigged soft plastics, fishing deeper water with Flurocarbon line.  Looking for a rod that provides pretty good bottom contact sensitivity.  Targeting deeper bass in 15 to 30ft water.  What would be a good brand, length, and action?

Lamiglas or Dobyns "735" rods in whatever model your budget is.  I use both with 20b Abrazx and 1/2-1oz weights.  You want a tip on the slower end of "fast".

I like a longer rod that does not have a soft tip for dragging c-rigs and football jigs.

 

What price range are you looking at?

 

Are you using FC as the main line?

I use a m jig rod, it's a 7'2" HF Tatula. It works well and is pretty sensitive. I fish 40lb braid to a leader for most of my C-rigging. Usually I'm fishing 10inch curly tail worms. If I was going to get a rod specifically for C-rigging I'd get a longer one but I won't be doing that anytime soon.

100-200$ range.... And yes FC as main line.

 

Ive noticed using longer  heavier action rods, really make fishing deeper water a little easier.

Go big then!  (I got an 8ft Phenix Recon for the coming season to try).

I've used just about every brand rod looking for the perfect fb jig rod and Carolina rig rod.  For a Carolina rig, a Powell max3d 775 is as good as you'll find in that price range.  It handles 1/2 oz to 1 oz rigs perfectly.
