Guest avid Posted January 28, 2008 Posted January 28, 2008 what rod do y'all use for larger plastic worms, lizards, and senko's? Quote
ABC123 Posted January 28, 2008 Posted January 28, 2008 All unweighted, smaller jig, and light bullet weighted Senko's, tubes, Power worms, etc... I use my BSR803 spinning rod. Heavier stuff, like SwimSenko's, I have to move up to my SJR783. This year, my MBR rod might get called apon to do that duty though. I don't have a technique specific rod for the heavy plastics.

Super User Alpster Posted January 28, 2008 Super User Posted January 28, 2008 Loomis CR724C 6' heavy for accuracy casting. Loomis MB844C 7' heavy for open water and pitching in heavy cover. Ronnie Quote

Ballpark Frank Posted January 28, 2008 Posted January 28, 2008 My BCR803 has taken over almost all of my plastics work except light plastics (less than 3/16) which my BCR852 handles. I rarely throw anything greater than 3/4. Quote
joshmb1999 Posted January 28, 2008 Posted January 28, 2008 All of my plastics I throw on my St. Croix Avid AC66MF/Stradic 2500FH Quote

Super User .ghoti. Posted January 28, 2008 Super User Posted January 28, 2008 For Senkos and Ikas I use an Avid 6'8" MXF. For larger T-tigged plastics I use a JM Sig Series 7' MH, or for short casting situations, a team Daiwa Light & Tough 6'3" MH. All baitcasters with PT reels. Cheers, GK Quote

I also have the same rod and I scored it for $59 to boot. I bought it to be my jig rod but I am glad to hear this is great for worming. It has not seen much use until last week when I first tried it for jig fishing. I was dragging a 1/2 oz football jig at 50' down and even being a jig newbie, with this rod I felt the take and set the hook. My beyond frozen hands couldn't seal the deal and the fish got off but this is a little testament about what I have discovered about my crucial to date. So I guess I'll x3 it for worms. Quote

I bought mine for heavy cover wormin'. Quote
Super User FishTank Posted January 28, 2008 Super User Posted January 28, 2008 For texas rigged lizards with a 3/16oz weight and Senkos, I like using a Loomis MBR803. I also use a St. Croix Avid AS68MXF. This rod is great for weightless Senkos and Ikas. Quote

I bought mine for heavy cover wormin'. I paid under $100 for mine but then I get 25% off; I throw every thing from Wacky Worms to 5/16 oz Texas Rigs. The 6' 10 length fits me perfectly Quote

Siebert Outdoors Posted January 28, 2008 Posted January 28, 2008 here are the 2 I use GLX's BCR854 BCR855 Great rods Quote
Super User Gone_Phishin Posted January 28, 2008 Super User Posted January 28, 2008 A St. Croix EC68MXF, and a Loomis BCR852. This season I need to pick up a few rods for heavier presentations. I'm probably going to go with a BCR853, a Shimano Cumara 68MHXF, and a Kistler HE76HC. If I can find a good enough deal, I'd friggin' love to pick up a Steez STZ 711HFBA. God, I'm going to break the bank here and these are just plastics rods. This doesn't include the respective reels, a crankin stick, a few walleye rods....... This never ends does it? Quote
JayW Posted January 28, 2008 Posted January 28, 2008 Well, I have 3 worm rods, but for larger rigs I use a 6'6" HF (Heavy / Fast) Rainshadow RX7 blank that I built on and a Calcutta 100 with Yo Zuri Hybrid 12# test. Works like a charm! 8-) Quote

I bought mine for heavy cover wormin'. Well, I stopped by a local shop with the intent of buying nothing and I walked over to the Shimano rods. The Crucial's price tag was $59. Confused, I asked the guy and he confirmed the price. I couldn't believe it so I snatched it up. I screwed up at the same time. There were 2 other 6'10 MHs same model. I could have bought them and even if I sold them for $100.00, I would still have made a good profit and gave the person a saving. Stupid me! > Quote
