Lucky Craft Man Posted January 16, 2010 Posted January 16, 2010 The absolute king of all shaky head rods is the GLX SHR822S. But thats just my opinion. You could fish senko's with it if you wanted to but throwing senkos around heavy brush texas-rigged, I'd much rather have something with a little more backbone than the SHR. This would be a pretty good rod for that use I would think. I love the action of the SHR's and the 822 would be perfect for up here. Only reason I can't justify the GLX is I don't have anything I would call my 'go to' technique. When and if I ever do, I wanna get one.... If you get the GLX SHR822S, shakyhead would soon become your goto technique. I got this rod and it was so nice to fish shakyheads with that I fished with them a majority of the time. Anytime you are able to dedicate that much time to one technique, you soon develop a skill at that technique. Using this mentality, I bought the GLX BCFR954 and paired it with a Core 100MgFV in hopes it would force me to fish heavy mats more and develop some skill for it. My motto is "Buy it and the Skill Will Come." Quote

SWMIBASSER Posted January 16, 2010 Posted January 16, 2010 Problem is, if the wife spent $350 on shoes or purse or something 'I' think is a dumb waste of money I'd be ticked off..... She thinks walmart fishing rods are good enough......So.....ya you see. ;D Quote

It's also a wicked "true flipping" rod for heavy laydowns 8-) Quote
