Luke Taylor Posted July 4, 2017 Posted July 4, 2017 I am looking for a 7' medium composite rod, and a 5.4:1 reel. Also what lb flourocarbon should I use. No budget Quote
Super User fishnkamp Posted July 4, 2017 Super User Posted July 4, 2017 Take a look at an Irod Genesis II model 703CC Gabes"s Rip Rap Special. Also a Champion XP 704 CB this is not one of Gary's glass rods. Another good option would be an Abu Garcia "Ike" Series Delay Cast Rod 7' Medium moderate. I fish the 703cc and a shorter version of the Ike rod. Mine is a 6'4" for throwing jerkbaits. I like both rods a lot. Quote
CroakHunter Posted July 4, 2017 Posted July 4, 2017 Unbiased on rod and reel, but I crank with 30lb braid. Thinner diameter let's cranks get deeps Quote
Super User Columbia Craw Posted July 4, 2017 Super User Posted July 4, 2017 Dobyns Champion 705CB Glass is composite. My lower gear ratio reels are Lews BB1's but there are a several manufactures with lower ratios. Tackle Warehouse had some Zillions in L/H on sale. If you are a lefty, that would be a heck of combo. You can throw square bills to DD22's with that model. Quote
