Carrington Posted January 12, 2010 Posted January 12, 2010 Basicaly i am wondering which rod is better for fishing texas rigged worms and shakeyheads. The g.loomis SJR783S(or whichever gloomis is appropriate for the job), or the shimano CUS68M. I want to know the best for the job and not the best for the money. Quote
Lucky Craft Man Posted January 12, 2010 Posted January 12, 2010 The absolute best for the job you described, I would say the G Loomis GLX BSR852. This thing is unreal and can do it all. As far as the rods you listed, I am obviously partial to G Loomis, so I would say the GLX SJR783S. Quote
midnighthrasher Posted January 12, 2010 Posted January 12, 2010 I have a CUS68M and it is awesome. I use it for t-rigs, in line spinners, alot of tubes and basically anything lightweight. I love it. Super sensitive, lightweight and you get that awesome shimano wanrranty. To me its a no brainer. Great performance and great warranty. Quote

Shakey heads 1/4 oz and under, no doubt the CUS68M. T-rigs would depend on the weight you plan to use. You are comparing a M rod to a MH rod here. I use the SJR783 GLX as a senko skipping rod most often, but it does a fine job for T-rigged plastics with a 1/4 oz bullet weight. A 1/8 oz T-rig and 6" worm with no larger than a very sharp 3/0 hook, I'd go with the Cumara. Both are fine rods though! Quote
Carrington Posted January 13, 2010 Author Posted January 13, 2010 ok that shimano is looking good atm, but ill have to keep looking at their stats, any reel suggestions for the job? i currently have a calais but its a 5.0:1 so it would be right for the job Quote
uicdent11 Posted January 13, 2010 Posted January 13, 2010 Calais wouldn't work on a spinning rod either. Quote

The Calais is a casting reel. There are a number of quality spinning reels available that would be a good match for either rod. Which one depends on your budget. Quote
Carrington Posted January 13, 2010 Author Posted January 13, 2010 haha my mistake, i just got the calais so its fresh in my mind, i meant a shimano sehara Quote
