MontclairDave Posted July 15, 2021 Posted July 15, 2021 Looking for a single hook baitcasting rod (chatterbaits, spinnerbaits, swim jig) for kayak, so something under 7” and moderate-fast action. Been wanting a Denali rod for some time so their Kovert spinnerbait model caught my eye: https://www.denalirods.com/kovert610medspinning-1-1-1-1-2.aspx Has anyone fished this rod or have recommendation for other rod for this application? Thanks! Quote
Sherlock 60 Posted July 15, 2021 Posted July 15, 2021 I have this rod and use it all the time for spinnerbaits, single hook swimbaits, chatterbaits and even for medium sized topwaters. Quote

Thanks! Hoping the moderate fast action will help me keep fish pinned a bit better than the Kistler Argon MH Fast I’ve been using. Really wanted to like that rod but the tip is kind of stiff and I think I’m losing fish because of it. Or I just suck at landing fish Quote
Super User new2BC4bass Posted July 15, 2021 Super User Posted July 15, 2021 Never handled a Denali. You might want to look at the Falcon Expert 6'10" Heavy Moderate Fast if you can go a few dollars more. Sometimes referred to as the Head Turner. Next on my list. Said to be a very versatile rod. 1 Quote

Eric 26 Posted July 16, 2021 Posted July 16, 2021 I bought a Lews “Hank Parker” signature series 6’-10” med. power casting rod from Wal-Mart $40.00, wonderful rod. I only have experience with one Denali rod a “Fission” series rod which I’m actually quite impressed with. I know it’s not a great response but for $40.00 I think the Lews is hard to beat, good sensitivity and very well built. Quote
