cyph3r Posted June 20, 2009 Posted June 20, 2009 i am trying to compile the rods i would need for a solid set and i was wondering if you guys think these would pretty much cover it. could you guys give suggestions for other techniques that would fit under the rods listed or other rod type suggestions that may be better than the ones i have listed. thanks again everyone casting 7'6" H xf for flipping/pitching heavier cover/deepwater jigging/worming 7' MH f for flipping/pitching lighter cover/spinnerbaits/swimbaits 7'M mod. for cranking above 10'/hard jerkbaits 7'6" MH mod. for deep cranking/lipless cranks spinning 7' M xf for dropshot/shakyhead open water finesse 6'6" M f for skipping/weighless plastics Quote
dmac14 Posted June 20, 2009 Posted June 20, 2009 Looks very similar to what I have got going, except I opted for the 6'6" spinnerbait rod. Also the 7'6" heavy could be used for frog and carolina if you ever plan to do those. Quote
cbfishalot Posted June 20, 2009 Posted June 20, 2009 Sounds OK! The one thing you might want to add is a 6'6 MF casting rod for topwater. Quote
cyph3r Posted June 20, 2009 Author Posted June 20, 2009 i have a 6'6" spinnerbait rod could that double as a topwater or do spinnerbait rods usually have too fast of a tip? Quote
aarogb Posted June 20, 2009 Posted June 20, 2009 Sounds like a great setup!!!!! The one thing I would change would be for skipping, instead of getting a M get a MH. Just a suggestion though. Quote

DINK WHISPERER Posted June 21, 2009 Posted June 21, 2009 Everyone has different tastes in what they like in a rods action/power. If you are comfortable with your rods performance than that is all that matters! With that said, you have a mighty fine looking arsenal there! You have all you need to have to cover any situation you may encounter. Quote

cyph3r Posted June 22, 2009 Author Posted June 22, 2009 thanks for the input guys, i appreciate it Quote
FishDontLikeMe1301600221 Posted June 22, 2009 Posted June 22, 2009 i have a 6'6" spinnerbait rod could that double as a topwater or do spinnerbait rods usually have too fast of a tip? good to go ace,but for me i prefer a 7'6" for topwater/frogs. Quote
Super User Big Bait Fishing Posted June 22, 2009 Super User Posted June 22, 2009 may be your taste , but for topwater lures you don't want that long of a rod ( 7'6'') , a 6'6'' is perfect . it's just very difficult to ''walk'' lures with that long of a rod . now if it was a 7'6'' med. XF , i would love to use it for crankbaits all day ( i want to get one for this purpose) .. btw , i have never heard of anyone using one rod for both of those techniques ( frog and topwater ) i want a heavy powered rod with a fast tip and for topwater , i want a medium powered rod with a moderate fast tip ... just my OWN opinion Quote
