Best wacky rig rod I've used. Mine is paired up with 20lb KastKing braid and a 35 size Supreme XT. 

I bought the rod based on your suggestion.Im so glad i bought it.I have it paired up with a 25 size Daiwa BG spooled with 20# Power Pro.

I'd opt for a St. Croix 6'8" M/XF in the Mojo or higher series for your wacky rigs. I personally use the LTB version and it's one heck of a stick.

Got the 6'8 LTB with Shimano Stradic 2500 CI4+, spooled with Sufix 832 10Lbs Ghost Braid line ..

 

Its so sexy that I cant take my hands off her...

Going through my rods just now, I noticed that one of them is an IMX 892 which is medium power. Typically I want med-heavy. So that said, I am in the market for a new rod regardless of any wacky rig situation, so why not get an IMX PRO Heavy/Fast rod? I need something to get my jig out of the weeds when there is a 4#er on it. Seems like a heavy would be the way to go there. I can use the medium rod for my wacky rigging.

My primary Senko rig is a St. Croix Avid X 6' 8" medium extra fast ( AXC68MXF ) with an Abu Garcia LTX on it.  The whole rig (Rod, reel and line) comes in at 9.55 oz. add in a hook and a Senko and it's just touching 10 oz.

 

It'll throw Senkos Texas rigged (weightless) or wacky, no problem.

 

I'm sure Loomis has a similar rod if that is your preference.

I see much great information, but no reminder that if you want a brand name, buy g Loomis but if you actually want a rod that Gary Loomis designed, you should look at Temple Fork Outfitters gear, which is the company that now employs Gary Loomis.

I have a ton of TFO rods, casting, spinning and fly rods.  Great rods at decent prices.  Never found one I like for Senkos as much as my St. Croix though.

I throw all my senkos, wacky and t-rigs, on a Megabass Super Destroyer phase III paired with a steez sv ltd (casting) unless I am trying to skip some docks. Then I sometimes will use a dobyns 703 dx paired with a shimano ci4 (spinning).
