What Length Rod For Spinnerbaits?

[Scorcher214]

I'm getting to the point where I want to have specific combos for specific uses, the first technique specific rod I want to get is for spinnerbaits. Now, I think 6'9 M would be perfect. If I'm fan casting out on the boat, i got a little extra length to help get my lure out there, but if Im in my kayak going along the bank, I can make quick accurate casts to specific targets. I don't use 3/4oz spinnerbaits very often, 3/8oz and 1/2oz being the usual. As for a actual rod, I was thinking a G.Loomis spinnerbait rod, the reel would be a Quantum Tour Edition PT VI. What do you think fellas?

Sure, I use a 6'6" M/F St Croix Premier with a Shimano Chronarch 100B from my kayak

[guitarkid]

I use a 6'6" MH/F Falcon Original with a 7.1:1 Pro Qualifier.

[DTack]

I use a 7'3"

[Jig Man]

For 3/8 I use a Gloomis 6'6" and 1/2 Gloomis 7'.

[dodgeguy]

i think your concept is correct i don't like your rod choices.i would go with st.corix first.

I use a 7' Med rod for spinnerbaits except when I am throwing them into the really really nasty stuff and need pinpoint casts, then I will use my Powell 6'9" Squarebill rod.

My special spinnerbait rod is a custom 6' M/F with a short rear grip. I use it to make accurate low roll casts to targets. For fan casting I'll throw them on one of my 7' MH/F T-rig rods or occasionally on my glass crankin rod.

[J Francho]

I have four rods I'll use for spinnerbaits:

AC62MXF for sniper style

AVC68MXF for general shallow

LTB70MF for slow rolling

LTB70MHF for tossing big honkers 3/4 and up

Me personally, I would never spend that much $$$ on a spinnerbait rod. I don't even fish them anymore. But if I did it would be with a 7' MH rod.

[dude loves to fish]

I use a 6'-6" MH Kistler Magnesium for fan casting spinnerbaits - 7'-0" MH Magnesium for bigger spinnerbaits and longer casting. I like the MH for Spinnerbaits all around.

[Bass_Fanatic]

I use 3 rods for spinnerbaits.

1. 7' MH/F Cabelas XTMLI

2. 6'9" MH/F Vendetta

3. Powell Glass 703cb

For spinnerbait fishing I would use anywhere between a 6'6 and a 7'2 rod. It really depends on what your doing. If you need distance go long and with a medium action so you have little more whip to get it out there. If you are trying to fish cover a 6'6 medium/heavy is perfect. You still got casting power but you have stouter rod to get through the cover.

[A-Rob]

I fish it with a MH 6'10" rod

[MrSwimJig]

I use a 6' 10" MH/XF for open water and a 6' 6" MH/XF for more accurate casts.

[Scorcher214]

I think I am going to go with the powell endurance series rods, the 6'7 MH one is 35% off and I have gift card screaming to be used.

[scbassin]

Depending where I am fishing is which rod I choose. If I am back in the cypress trees I'll use a 5 1/2' to 6' rod to roll cast a spinnerbait. I do have rods from 5 1/2 to 7' that I use for use for them as conditions call for. They are all custom built on Shikari blanks. If I was going to choose one I would look at what body of water I fish most, consider what type of cover you fish most & then make my choice of rod length. If I had to do that I would probley go for 6 1/2'. It would give me a shot at pretty much everything.

6'9" is a great all-around length for spinnerbaits. warning: if you're thinking about the g.loomis SBR812C, get the 813C instead. the 812C fishes closer to a medium-light than medium.

Hi DVt how short ?

[Raul]

Let me grab that old pistol grip 5'6" Berkley Lightning Rod ...... ok, ready for some butt whupping ?

 

Any rod is fine for spinnerbaiting, grab the one you like.

[Jeff H]

Them 5'6" pistol grips are sure fun!

Probably 6-7" it's personal preference. I like to still have a little butt against my forearm.

Thanx DVT

 

6-7" was also my initial estimate for my build.

felt right on my stencil of the rod using masking tape to anchor the parts.
