reb67 Posted August 26, 2018 Posted August 26, 2018 I have a extra rod and reel that I'm going to put together it is a 6.6 mod/fast rod and a 7:1:1 reel. In your guys opinion what would be the best technique to use this setup for? Quote
Super User FishTank Posted August 27, 2018 Super User Posted August 27, 2018 Jerkbaits and spinner baits. Maybe some topwater. Quote
five-bites Posted August 27, 2018 Posted August 27, 2018 I’ll add squarebills too but without knowing the power I can’t say for sure. Quote
Super User Choporoz Posted August 27, 2018 Super User Posted August 27, 2018 What rod is it? There are some crankbait rods advertised as mod fast. Quote
Jaderose Posted August 27, 2018 Posted August 27, 2018 I would call that a general purpose rod. Not much (other than the heavy stuff) you can't do with it. Quote
Super User webertime Posted August 27, 2018 Super User Posted August 27, 2018 Trebles and spinnerbaits Quote

Beetlebz Posted August 27, 2018 Posted August 27, 2018 6'6" heavy mod fast? Big cranks and squarebills, chatterbaits, big topwater like ploppers too. Quote
Super User islandbass Posted August 27, 2018 Super User Posted August 27, 2018 Treble lures and spinnerbaits, and buzzbaits, oh my! Quote
reb67 Posted August 28, 2018 Author Posted August 28, 2018 I've never used walking top water. Would this set up be good for that, not counting hollow body frogs Quote
Beetlebz Posted August 28, 2018 Posted August 28, 2018 That rod should have some backbone, it should be capable of walking hollow body frogs too. As long as the bait is heavy enough to be castable it should walk them ok... things like original spooks. Quote
reb67 Posted August 28, 2018 Author Posted August 28, 2018 I had a guy give me a couple of original spooks to practice with and I was hoping this set up would be good for that. Quote
Lead Head Posted August 28, 2018 Posted August 28, 2018 1/4 - 1oz suggested lure weight means this rod is probably on the lighter side of heavy. I would be surprised if it isn't a pretty solid "all purpose rod". Quote
