michael Lynn Posted November 3, 2009 Posted November 3, 2009 I know this probably sounds crazy to most of you, but I'm looking for a 5ft or 5ft 6" MH spinning rod for skipping out of a crawdad. Can anyone lead me to where I can find one, All I can find on the web is L and UL in that size. I'm only 5' 6" and will be using it sitting instead of standing so a longer rod is a little tricky being short and so low to the water. Thanks Quote
Lucky Craft Man Posted November 3, 2009 Posted November 3, 2009 I have never handled this rod, but the G Loomis IMX SJR642S could fit the bill. It is 5'4" long and has a line rating of 6 to 12 lb. and a lure weight rating of 1/8 to 3/8 oz. For what you describe, I use the SJR722S, which has the same line and lure rating and works rather fine for a skipping application. Quote

I found 6' BPS "Extreme" spinning stick, but couldn't find any 5'6" MH anywhere I looked. You might have to go custom. Quote

FordNFishinLover Posted November 5, 2009 Posted November 5, 2009 If you cant find what your lookin for, you might have to go custom and have it built to your expectations. Quote
