Super User Fishes in trees Posted September 29, 2019 Super User Posted September 29, 2019 Try it and see. There is generally a "fudge factor" built into the recommendations of what a rod can and can't throw. However, if you want to get a rod that can absolutely, positively handle a 1.92 oz crank, get a Muskie rod. I won't tattle if you use it fishing for bass. I've got an old 7' Team Diawa (late 90's vintage) Muskie rod, and it turns out that it works out great for throwing A-rigs. Quote
Super User Hammer 4 Posted September 29, 2019 Super User Posted September 29, 2019 Generally most rods, not all are Over rated for the weight they can throw easily..Unless that rod is the exception, I would get a higher weighted rod, better to be slightly over gunned than under..in my experience. 1 Quote
