Muad Dib Posted July 11, 2011 Posted July 11, 2011 looking for a rod of 140 and under for tube baits in the 1/8th to 3/8 oz jig weight. preferably size of 6'9 or longer. ok let me hear them guys! spinning too if thats not a given travis Quote
Northern Strain Posted July 11, 2011 Posted July 11, 2011 Right now I am using a Falcon Lowrider for tubes.I can find nothing wron with this rod. Sensitivity is better than I expected. Falcon has a shakey head jig model that would fit what you are looking for, however it is $10 more than you wanted to spend though. The LFS-5-167 LR Bass Spin is another Lowrider option that you may want to check out as well for $139, maybe a little short though. Here is a link to all the Lowriders: http://falconrods.com/index.php/rods-reels/rods/lowrider/lowrider-spinning.html?SID=34b94faf90e6c4fd965da47b9f2e6aab Quote
Super User grimlin Posted July 11, 2011 Super User Posted July 11, 2011 Powell 7'0 M/XF Seriously Love this rod....this is my tube/weightless plastic rod. Quote
Muad Dib Posted July 11, 2011 Author Posted July 11, 2011 thanks guys, any others? heard lot about falcon rods. Quote
Super User webertime Posted July 11, 2011 Super User Posted July 11, 2011 Lamiglas Excel 703 awesome for Senkos, Tubes, Shaky Heads and Dropshotting. A very comfortable rod Quote
TimJ Posted July 11, 2011 Posted July 11, 2011 dobyns savvy 703 spin, comes under your $$ when on sale. Quote
Muad Dib Posted July 11, 2011 Author Posted July 11, 2011 anyone else use the savy 703 for tubes? was wondering how it compares to the 702? Quote
Super User BASSclary Posted July 11, 2011 Super User Posted July 11, 2011 Powell Max or Dobyns Saavy. Quote
Super User Hooligan Posted July 11, 2011 Super User Posted July 11, 2011 One of my favorites for dragging tubes right now is the CUS76M. Perfect rod for dragging tubes in grass. Great distance casting as well as moves a lot of line for a clean hookset. Quote
Flywatersmallie Posted July 12, 2011 Posted July 12, 2011 anyone else use the savy 703 for tubes? was wondering how it compares to the 702? I don't have either but... I have the 692 and 693... The 3 power is definitely stouter. Honestly the 692 became my go to tube rod and I fish tubes for river smallies A LOT. Then again, I rarely fish anything but 1/8oz heads and 2 3/4" tubes but, I know it can. I like the tip on the 692 a bit better for tubes. I don't think you can go wrong with either. FWIW, I have a 2000 size Diawa Exceler(last year's model) on both. Classy looking rig and they both balance well with that reel. Quote
Delaware Valley Tackle Posted July 14, 2011 Posted July 14, 2011 Any jigging rod you'd use for that lure weight range should be fine. Med/F or XF Quote
LuckyHandsINC. Posted July 14, 2011 Posted July 14, 2011 If I needed a new rod for 140 I don't think I would look any further than the NEW crucial. If this thing is really the same blank as the cumara all I have to say is WOW Quote
Muad Dib Posted July 15, 2011 Author Posted July 15, 2011 in the video he said the same blank "design" so i dont know if that means its def the same blank or its designed the same way just different materials?.... if it is the same blank im sold! Quote
