~1oz Topwater Rod

[webertime]

What's everyone throwing Super Spooks, 120 Shower Blows, etc on?  Those 7/8oz-1.25 once baits.

Currently, a 7' Aird-X H/F

 

Though my wishlist has  a Dobyns 735C on it.

My crank rod was original 705R Lamiglas and used for deep diving cranks and big top waters.

Started using IROD IRG745F for lures in your weight p, works good.

Today I look at St Croix crank bait rods because prefer the cork fore grip, the problem nothing under 7’4”.

Shimano Exspride B  MH 7’2” glass is rated to 1 1/2 oz.

Evergreen Combat Stick 7'2 MH / Mod Fast ( aka SB-125 / Moving Versatile model). 3/8 - 1.25 oz rating. 

 

Great graphite rod that really sends em. Designed specifically for the 125 size Showerblows.

 

I use both straight mono or braid w/ small mono leader with the rod.

I thought about that - may have to try it out this coming year.

 

Pflueger Supreme-30 on an Okuma Reflexions A 7' MH/F rod (rated to 1-1/4 oz) with 20# 832...it's my main skipping rig currently...but larger topwaters - Hmmm.

I use a 7’3 heavy bps crankin stick rated up to 2 oz and it’s perfect.

 Still my favorite!

I fish Falcon rods so that's where my reccos are.  I use the Bucoo SR Lizard Dragger (7' 3/8-1oz) for a lot of things including bigger topwater like a choppo 105 (3/4 oz).  It would be no problem with a 1 oz 120 if I wanted.  Throwing a 1 oz spinnerbait with a trailer gets to be a bit much or is at least on the edge.  I jut picked up an Expert Amistad (7'3" 3/8-2 oz) and it has a really nice action and I think would be a good choice for the biggies on top, but I'll have to see in a month or two when we thaw out.  The Expert Bayou is a similar rod in 6'11" and was my other consideration.

 

thanks
