5 hawgs Posted May 20, 2008 Posted May 20, 2008 Hi Guys, new here and am glad I found this site. My question is, what rod do you recommend for throwing light rico's and splash its? Every rod I have seems to stiff for much distance as they only weight 1/4 oz. The 2 I'm considering are the Falcon Lowriders in the LFC-2-169 and the LFC-3-166, what do think? Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted May 20, 2008 Super User Posted May 20, 2008 Welcome aboard! I don't generally throw lures that light, but when I do I use a Fenwick Techna AV AVS70MM spinning rod. This is 7' Medium Power/ Moderate Action. The rod loads up and cast light lures a mile! The same blank is offered in a baitcaster, AVC70MM. 8-) Quote
rjg Posted May 20, 2008 Posted May 20, 2008 I fish my smaller top waters on the Falcon LFC-4-16 "treble hooker" 6' medium power fast action casting rod. It's rated 3/16 - 3/8 oz. It easily handles the 1/4 oz top waters you are wanting to use and is a pretty fair jerk bait rod to boot rjg Quote
