Spinnerbait rod??

[shootermcbob]

What rod do you guys use for spinnerbaits. I use mostly 3/8 or 1/2 ounce spinners. I am looking at cabelas xml C70SB which is a 7' mh fast action split grip xml rod. I have three cabelas xml rods and like them. I currently throw spinnerbaits with my 6' 6" medium power fast action xml rod. Just wondering what rods everyone uses and why.

I used a BPS Woo Daves extreme spinnerbait rod that is 6'6" med. power these past 2 summers and liked it a lot. I just stepped up to a Quantum Tour Edition Kevin Vandam signature series rod that is 6'10" and med/hvy with fast action. I have yet to try it out.

I have two rods.  The primary is an All Star IM10X 6'8" Mhvy fast, great for buzz baits and most spinnerbaits over 3/8oz.   the second is a TAS 6'4" med fast which I throw smaller 1/4 oz baits with.

I like my G Loomis 812 6'9" Med Xfast spinnerbait rod. I can throw a small to med large spinnerbait and iit is amazing with a buzzbait. Soft but lots of power.

I like my G Loomis 812 6'9" Med Xfast spinnerbait rod. I can throw a small to med large spinnerbait and iit is amazing with a buzzbait. Soft but lots of power.

x2 that, I have the exact same rod and I love it, great rod.

Well, I'm no expert at all so I'm just replying for fun.  I just got a 6'6" Shimano Compre MH with fast tip that I plan to use for spinnerbaits of 3/8 and 1/2 oz. sizes.  I read that a nice stiff rod is desirable to fish these baits on so I think it should do nicely.  For 1/4 oz. sizes, I am going to get the same rod again but in a medium instead of MH.  

Always before this I just used a medium rod for 1/4 and 3/8 baits, and rarely fished 1/2 oz. sizes at all.  Never had a problem really, but I want to step up my bass fishing this coming year and start using some heavier baits to get down deeper, sort of break out of the way I am used to fishing and target some larger fish (hopefully).  So my reply has probably not helped you at all, sorry for that, but at least I'm participating.

x3 I couldn't imagine a better spinnerbait rod.

I think I heard that they either have or will have a GLX model of this same rod. How cool is that.

I would always prefer G. Loomis, but for this

specific application I fish my "all-around" treble

hook rod. This is also my rig for buzzbaits and

medium weight spinnerbaits: St. Croix Avid

AVC66MF which has a soft tip.

For heavier lures (3/4 oz Ledgebuster Single

Willow Blade),  Legend Elite ES70 MHF.

A x-tra fast rod ain't too bad either.

G Loomis SBR813.  It's a fantastic rod for throwing bigger spinnerbaits.

[fishfordollars]

Medium heavy with a fast tip.

[Olebiker]

Falcon Low Rider 5-164.  It's their 6'4" MH spinnerbait special.  I use it for spinnerbaits up through 3/8 oz.  

For 1/2 oz spinnerbaits I use a Low Rider 6-166.  It's a 6'6" MH that is a bit stouter.

[Tin]

Either a 7'3" MH Carrot for windy days and long casts when I need to be able to hit them hard to make up for the line. Or a 6'9" MH Carrot for roll casting them to docks and under things.

Granted I've only just begun to get into the higher-end tackle, but I cannot imagine a better combo than the one I have.

Revo STX and Kistler Mg69APC.

This combo is light and well balanced, and has a nice Moderate-Fast to Fast action.

if i had to pick one type of rod for 3/8 oz and 1/2 oz spinnerbaits it would be a 7ft mh/ fast rod.

Personally i would recommend a loomis mbr843 if you want it under 7ft then the mbr783.  they are both great all-around rods as well

Just pick a medium-heavy powered rod of your choice.
