Bassfisherman94 Posted December 7, 2011 Posted December 7, 2011 I am looking to get another Quantum smoke rod but I have 2 already. A 7' Medium Heavy and a 7' 4" Heavy action. What would be your other choice? Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted December 7, 2011 Global Moderator Posted December 7, 2011 I'd want another, shorter rod like a 6' 6" for topwaters, jerkbaits, or spinnerbaits. A crankbait rod would be another I'd want to have. Quote
Bassfisherman94 Posted December 7, 2011 Author Posted December 7, 2011 I should of added that I use the 7' MH for worms, jigs, small cranks, and spinnerbaits. I use the 7' 4" H for flipping and frogs. I also have a 7'2"MH I use for lipless cranks, and 1.5 cranks, and I have a 7' 10" MH for deep diving cranks. Quote
Super User BASSclary Posted December 7, 2011 Super User Posted December 7, 2011 Maybe try a Powell Max 7' M/XF next for light plastics, jigs, finesse stuff, etc. Quote
Bassfisherman94 Posted December 7, 2011 Author Posted December 7, 2011 What would be the best rod for skipping around docks, that could be with ease of use with many different baits? Quote
Super User BASSclary Posted December 7, 2011 Super User Posted December 7, 2011 What would be the best rod for skipping around docks, that could be with ease of use with many different baits? 6'8" M/XF rod with a 2000 spinning reel, light fluoro, about 6-8 lb. can be used for what I mentioned above and skipping. I reccomend Powell rod, Daiwa Exceler high speed spinning reel , Seaguar InvizX. Quote
Bassfisherman94 Posted December 7, 2011 Author Posted December 7, 2011 How about a 6'9" MH Fast action rod? Quote
Super User deep Posted December 7, 2011 Super User Posted December 7, 2011 Personally, I'd get the 733 Max. Handles a wide range of weights, and the extra-fast tip makes it an exceptional skipping rod. Well, I'd get that rod, but I already have it lol. Darn it. You wanted a baitcaster! Sorry, the only baits I skip with a baitcaster are darn big swimbaits. Quote
Bassfisherman94 Posted December 7, 2011 Author Posted December 7, 2011 Haha it's all good! I've never heard of someone skipping swimbaits. Quote
Super User deep Posted December 7, 2011 Super User Posted December 7, 2011 Haha it's all good! I've never heard of someone skipping swimbaits. Here you go. 127 seconds of awesomeness. Quote
Super User Hi Salenity Posted December 7, 2011 Super User Posted December 7, 2011 How about a medium? A 7'+/- Medium F-EF is a must have for the dinks I catch. Quote
Super User BASSclary Posted December 7, 2011 Super User Posted December 7, 2011 How about a 6'9" MH Fast action rod? Wont handle the lighter baits as well, but it is an option if you have to have that one. Quote
Delaware Valley Tackle Posted December 7, 2011 Posted December 7, 2011 I prefer spinning tackle for lighter (<1/2)lures so for another baitcast rod I'd add a 7'6" MH/Mod or Mod Fast deep cranking stick (Lamiglass SR765). For lighter baits and drop shot 6'8" M/XF in spinning or casting works great. Quote
