Super User FishTank Posted January 4, 2007 Super User Posted January 4, 2007 Has anyone fished the GLX Baitcasting Senko rods from G. Loomis? And if so, what reel do you use or recommend? Any insight on these rods would be great? Quote
gloomis7 Posted January 5, 2007 Posted January 5, 2007 whats up FT? I don't own one of the senko rods (yet) but i do have 2 cranking sticks and the worm and jig rod. On all three I put a Team Daiwa Advantage Reel and they work together perfectly. That would be my recommendation. Quote
Siebert Outdoors Posted January 5, 2007 Posted January 5, 2007 I cant help on the baitcast rod but I do have a spinning one in the BSR852. Its awsome. The tip is light and the rod has a good backbone to it. It fishes a senko flawlessly. I would recommend this rod to anyone who fishes a senko. Its not going to have the power to horse fish out of stumps or weeds but the control of fish is amasing. Its the best rod I've ever thrown a senko on. Quote
The_Natural Posted January 5, 2007 Posted January 5, 2007 I've got both Senko rods, the 893 and 864. The 893 may be my favorite plastics rod- it will will pitch a plastic bait with a small sinker farther than I can cast it with most other setups. Of course sensitivity is unreal. I had a Pixy mounted to it, but my XXL hands can't grip that small of a reel very well, and it makes it difficult to use the Pixy or Alphas for jigs or worms. I ended up switching to an MG50, and it is ideal. I usually run that rig with 14lb Vanish, but sometimes go lighter or heavier. In closing, I will say go for the 893, the extra length helps in pitching, casting, and hooksets. Quote
