If you want an awsome rod that wont hurt your wallet check out these.
They were disigned for throwing swimbaits. Most rods are just big flipping sticks or ocean rods that are labled swimbait rods. I know alot of guys like the softer rods but I dont. I button down the drag and crank in the big fish as fast as I can. If I know its uder ten I might let him fight or even jump but if its big I try my best to keep him from jumping and get him in the boat now.
