IL_Bassman Posted March 31, 2008 Posted March 31, 2008 I was just wondering what everyone thinks the best specs on a soft plastics rod are? Do you use more than one? Right now I only use one and its 6'6" MH/F. I was thinking about buying a 6'6" M/F rod and having two. Do you think this is necessary? Or will one rod work for all soft plastics? This is spinning gear I'm talking about. Quote
Super User Jeff H Posted March 31, 2008 Super User Posted March 31, 2008 MH/F is my preference. If you want another rod, get one. The medium might do better at tossing lighter/smaller baits. Quote
Super User Redlinerobert Posted March 31, 2008 Super User Posted March 31, 2008 Steez 6'8" rod is the only spinning rod I use. Awesome rod. Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted March 31, 2008 Super User Posted March 31, 2008 I suggest a 6 1/2' or 7' Medium Power/ Fast Action spinning rig. That is what I use for all soft plastics. 8-) Quote
Super User Raul Posted March 31, 2008 Super User Posted March 31, 2008 I 've got 3 soft plastics/general purpose spinning rods: GLoomis SJR721 IMX GLoomis SJR722 GL2 CSS66MH Do I think it 's necessary having two ? The reason why I have three is because each rod is for a specific purpose to fish in a specific lake or series of lakes, for some lakes I fish with the SJR721 ( gets a 9 in the funometer scale ), for other lakes where there 's more cover I can fish with heavier line, bigger baits and a more stiff rod.

Super User FishTank Posted March 31, 2008 Super User Posted March 31, 2008 For spinning gear I like the St. Croix Avid AS68MXF. The extra fast tip makes soft plastic a no brainer when it comes to setting the hook. Quote
