Willzx225 Posted May 30, 2008 Posted May 30, 2008 I have the 6'9" MH Carrot Stix and love it for spinnerbaits, crankbaits, and Basstrix style swimbaits. I am in need of a Crankin rod for DD22's and DT16's and other deep crankbaits. Does anyone have the 7'3" Carrot stix that they have used for these larger crankbaits? I would think it would be perfect for the technique but wanted some feedback before pulling the trigger on it. Quote
Super User Tin Posted May 30, 2008 Super User Posted May 30, 2008 My 7'3" is my jig rod. If it were me I would want a rod with a little more bend to it because of the treble hooks. :-/ Quote
Willzx225 Posted May 30, 2008 Author Posted May 30, 2008 I think my 6'9" MH has a slower tip than most MH's so I was thinking the 7'3" would be similiar but I have yet to really see one to tell. I typically like a rod with a lot of tip but for the bigger baits I want one with a little backbone to get the bait farther on a cast. Quote
KevO Posted May 30, 2008 Posted May 30, 2008 I have the 7'3 and I use it for jigs and worms. When I first got it I threw some lipless cranks on it and it just felt weird. It is too long and too stiff. Quote
=Matt 5.0= Posted May 31, 2008 Posted May 31, 2008 I have the 7'3" and throw cranks on it all the time ;D Tin....er...I mean Colonel Braddock get's all uptight cuz it's a "jig rod" lmao! JUST DO IT! Quote
