Muad Dib Posted May 31, 2009 Posted May 31, 2009 whats your favorite spinnerbait rod? just looking for some opinions throw in a few if you want ;D Quote
aarogb Posted May 31, 2009 Posted May 31, 2009 I have a All Star Pro Series 6'6" MH rod that I use for spinnerbaits. It does O.K. for me. Quote
Super User Bassn Blvd Posted May 31, 2009 Super User Posted May 31, 2009 I'm glad you posted this question because I've been wondering the same thing. ALL of my rods are at least 7'. I started buying 7' about 20 yrs ago and never looked back. I don't have a dedicated spinnerbait rod (only lure rod I don't have) but would like to get one. Most of the ones I look at are 6'6 to 6'9. A few are over 7' but it seems most are under. Whats the reason for so many being under 7'? The brand to buy will be easy since it HAS to be a Loomis. Quote
Super User dodgeguy Posted May 31, 2009 Super User Posted May 31, 2009 johnny morris signature series 6-6 mh. Quote
Super User Chris at Tech Posted May 31, 2009 Super User Posted May 31, 2009 I love my Kistler Mg 6'9" MH APC for both spinnerbaits and buzzbaits. Quote
21farms Posted May 31, 2009 Posted May 31, 2009 Most of the ones I look at are 6'6 to 6'9. A few are over 7' but it seems most are under. Whats the reason for so many being under 7'? spinnerbait rods run a little on the short side because accuracy is much more important than distance with spinnerbaits. the shorter the rod, the more accurately you can place the spinnerbait. shorter rods are also easier to work under overhanging limbs and such. as for my favorite, i've discovered a lot of rods will work decently with spinnerbaits BUT the g.loomis SBR-713C is the best.

midnighthrasher Posted May 31, 2009 Posted May 31, 2009 I use a shimano crucial MH xfast 6'10. Use it for spinnerbaits and buzzbaits. I love it. Quote

bass wrangler569 Posted May 31, 2009 Posted May 31, 2009 My favorite is my custom loomis sbr812 that I built. I also have a 6'6" med carrot stix that I like for spinnerbaits as well. Caught a 40" musky on a spinnerbait about two hours ago using it so it definitely holds up fine! Quote
Super User Jeff H Posted May 31, 2009 Super User Posted May 31, 2009 For 3/8-1/2 oz I use a Loomis GL3 CR724. 3/4-1 oz I use a St Croix Premier PC66HF (6'6" hvy/fast). Quote
Muad Dib Posted June 1, 2009 Author Posted June 1, 2009 I use a shimano crucial MH xfast 6'10. Use it for spinnerbaits and buzzbaits. I love it. got the same rod but use it for jigs and worms? didnt even think of using it for spinnerbaits. thought the tip was a lil too stiff for that. Quote
Super User KYntucky Warmouth Posted June 1, 2009 Super User Posted June 1, 2009 As of today it's a 7' MH Avid Quote
dmac14 Posted June 1, 2009 Posted June 1, 2009 As of today it's a 7' MH Avid x2 great spinner bait rod, but I use it for Jig and worm. Although I am thinking of getting the 6'6" MH as a dedicated spinnerbait rod. Quote
Super User Maxximus Redneckus Posted June 1, 2009 Super User Posted June 1, 2009 Mine is a falcon pistol grip rod 6 foot MH action perfect for accurate cast to stumps,weeds under limbs etc etc Quote
Super User A-Jay Posted June 1, 2009 Super User Posted June 1, 2009 I like the Quantum PTC666FKV, Kevin VanDam Model. The short handle provides pinpoint accuracy when throwing a spinnerbait into tight, heavy cover. The soft tip a fast taper allows for better feel of the baits action. And more recently the Quantum PTC6106FKV, also a Kevin VanDam Model. For big spinnerbaits in clear water, the four additional inches in this rod provide excellent casting distance. This one has turned into a very nice swim jig and worm rod as well. A-Jay Quote
Super User Gone_Phishin Posted June 1, 2009 Super User Posted June 1, 2009 This spring I've been using a Kistler He59MHC, and I've been super happy...I've never had so much fun roll-casting in my life. Quote
Willzx225 Posted June 2, 2009 Posted June 2, 2009 It used to be a Shimano V-Rod 6'10" MH rod (Very light tip = great for roll casting). But now it is the new Quantum Tour KVD Spinnerbait rod 6'10". It is very similiar to the V-Rod but has split foam grips and a nice tip to it. Great rod. Quote
21farms Posted June 2, 2009 Posted June 2, 2009 ...now it is the new Quantum Tour KVD Spinnerbait rod 6'10". It is very similiar to the V-Rod but has split foam grips and a nice tip to it. Great rod. i've never heard of this rod, only the tour KVD crankbait rods. can you point me to where i can find out more information? thanks. Quote
Willzx225 Posted June 2, 2009 Posted June 2, 2009 These rods are only available on Quantums website at this time. I guess it is sort of a trial run. They have 2 spinnerbait rods by KVD (6'10" and 7'4") and a few of the other prostaffers have developed technique specific rods as well (ie Rojas - Frog rod, Klein - Flipping stick, Hackney flipping stick, etc.) They are a little pricey but I have two of the 6'10" spinnerbait rods and they are the closest I have found to the Shimano 6'10" V-rod. I've been impressed so far with them. Looks like Quantum is trying to get back in the game. Time will tell though. Quote
21farms Posted June 2, 2009 Posted June 2, 2009 willzx225, thanks for the info on the custom quantum rods...very interesting. is your 6'10" spinnerbait rod made out of glass or graphite? here's the link for anyone who might be interested:http://www.quantumfishing.com/CustomShop/TourRods.htm Quote
Bronzefly Posted June 2, 2009 Posted June 2, 2009 Loomis MBR 783 GLX for closer range, 3/8 to 1/2 oz. baits. MBR 843 GLX for burning spinnerbaits in open water, and MBR 844 GLX for 3/4 and 1 oz slow rollers... Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted June 2, 2009 Super User Posted June 2, 2009 My dedicated rod is an Avid AVC70MF matched up with a Shimano Chronarch and Yo-Zuri Hybrid #12. 8-) Quote
