Fat-G Posted April 6, 2010 Posted April 6, 2010 I've decided to use my Lowrider LFC-6-17 for reaction baits (the only reaction baits I use are spinnerbaits, buzzbaits, and then occasional jerkbait). The action of the rod is too flimsy for contact baits in the places I fish. I want to get a rod to use for t-rigged Brush Hogs and such, and I want to try a Powell. I know it will have 50# PowerPro with a 15# CXX leader. So, when I eventually get a rod for this technique, which model should I get? I was thinking the 7' Mag-Heavy. Is this rod pretty stout? Quote
Super User KYntucky Warmouth Posted April 6, 2010 Super User Posted April 6, 2010 7' H or mag heavy. Either one will work. Nail on the head....you hit it. I'll add the 7'H is a little more versatile and is good for larger spinnerbaits as well. Quote

DINK WHISPERER Posted April 6, 2010 Posted April 6, 2010 The 705C is the PERFECT T-rig rod IMO. I have 3 all with revo STXs and 50# Fireline braid. It is nowhere near it's mag heavy rating but it is a very nice rod. Quote
OH-bass614 Posted April 6, 2010 Posted April 6, 2010 these men speak the truth....i have a 7ft hvy and its what i do all my pitchin with i have a curado on it and love it sensitive light and stout enough to get fish from cover Quote
The Rooster Posted April 6, 2010 Posted April 6, 2010 So if the Mag-Heavy is not as stout as what it states then were does that leave other rods in the series such as just a Medium Heavy rod?? I was gonna get the 683C personally. Quote

I was gonna get the 683C personally. I love the 683C, and use for T-rigs, Spinnerbaits, and jigs. The 704C is equally as effective for those techs, but is alot stouter. It still has an XF tip, and isn't a boomstick. It is mainly my jig rod now. Quote
