Bandersnatch Posted July 4, 2023 Posted July 4, 2023 Sure; I like a longer rod such as the bc2 but what else including shorter longer rods do you prefer ? 1 Quote
Super User GreenPig Posted July 4, 2023 Super User Posted July 4, 2023 No idea what a bc2 is but I throw my big ribbon tails on a Abu Ike power rod 8' heavy med-fast and a 7'5" Megabass Braillist. 1 Quote
waymont Posted July 4, 2023 Posted July 4, 2023 G Loomis 843 or 844 MBR depending on how heavy the cover is and the weight size 1 1 Quote
rangerjockey Posted July 4, 2023 Posted July 4, 2023 Nothing special whatever jig rod is handy. The NRX 853 works well if I'm casting it. If I'm flipping it in the buck brush I would go up in power. Quote
Global Moderator Mike L Posted July 4, 2023 Global Moderator Posted July 4, 2023 Totally depends on where I’m throwing it. Other than my punch rig, I don’t have one specific rod just to throw one specific bait. Mostly it’s a 7’3 Ark with flouro and a 7’ Fenwick M1 with braid Mike 2 Quote
softwateronly Posted July 4, 2023 Posted July 4, 2023 I'm all over the place with big worms and weights under 5/16oz, from a PA 6'11M+, PA 7'6XH, and Dobyns 755. When working downhill, I tend to like the shorter, lighter rod to make sure I don't work it too fast. Uphill, the longer rods seem to be easier to control. The 755 is my do all, but the PA's are making inroads. When I go up to 1/2oz, the M+ can't give me the feedback I like loaded up that much. scott Quote
tholmes Posted July 4, 2023 Posted July 4, 2023 Abu Vendetta 7' MH fast. It works well as a jig rod, too. Tom Quote
evilcatfish Posted July 4, 2023 Posted July 4, 2023 My favorite big worm rods in no particular order: Orochi xx emtf-first generation EG Orion Black Rose EG Kaleido Rapid Gunner HD EG Kaleido egoist Tulala Monstruo 74MHC-it is still pretty new to me but has proven itself as a solid bottom contact rod so far-very versatile overall Would love to try a bc2 one of these days, seems to have near legendary status among its fans 1 Quote
Super User WRB Posted July 4, 2023 Super User Posted July 4, 2023 My 6’10” jig & worm rod. Ribbon tail is just another worm. Some folks like to C-rig ribbon tails and prefer longer rods to cast the longer leader. I T-rig ribbon tails w/ sliding bullet weight, same as straight rails? Tom 1 Quote

papajoe222 Posted July 5, 2023 Posted July 5, 2023 1?4oz. or under, MHX 843 paired with a Daiwa Viento. 5/16oz and over, St.Croix Mojo Bass MBC70HF paired to a Diawa TD Advantage. That MHX blank is a bit on the stiff side for the lighter weights, but with a big worm, I can still get 25yrds. from a cast. Quote
Deephaven Posted July 5, 2023 Posted July 5, 2023 Usually something heavier than an 843 and less heavy than an 844, but always longer than either. There is the occasion to go lighter but that is rare. 1 Quote
Super User NorcalBassin Posted July 6, 2023 Super User Posted July 6, 2023 I've been really happy with an NRX 894 with a 3/8 oz shakeyhead or Texas rig. 1 Quote
