Bandersnatch Posted July 22, 2019 Posted July 22, 2019 I'm looking for a rod that can bridge a gap in my setups. Currently the heaviest rods I own all go to 1.5oz. 13 F Envy Black Flipping stick - 1.5 Oz & Diawa Dx type H glass rod 1.5oz. Currently the diawa has gotten s waver 168 duty but even that feels too much. I'd like to throw this nosiy dachs 180 but at 0.7 ounces heavier than the waver I think I need a bigger rod. Really around 1.25oz to 3.25oz. I'm looking for a fairly budget stick to get that duty done.I currently own a fair amount of high end tackle but I just don't think I can justify it for this type of fishing. Maybe I'm wrong. I assume a standard shimano casting reel will be fine. My r OH and I have a 13 F defy black 8'0H swimbait rod 4-8oz that I joke is a defensive weapon because it's a giant heavy pole cue. It'd be great for jousting! Quote
MBB Nate Posted July 22, 2019 Posted July 22, 2019 I throw mags, the 168, 68 hudd, and boom boom shad on an academy ethos heavy. Really any jig or frog rod should be fine for the waver and mag. Quote
Bassin_Harrison Posted July 22, 2019 Posted July 22, 2019 I use the Scott Martin 7’3” Frog/Swimbait rod to throw my 168 S Wavers, works fine for me. Could probably have a slightly slower tip and that would make it fantastic but whatever. I use a mono leader to give some stretch. Quote
Bandersnatch Posted July 22, 2019 Author Posted July 22, 2019 Is there a rod that could double down on all these 1-3 Oz tasks including even maybe a 10xd? Quote
