#1022, "rod for big hammers & similar baits"


  

          

What type of rod do you guys who use the Big Hammers and other smaller swimbaits in the 4-6 inch size look for? A couple of weeks ago I was fishing the 4 inch Big Hammers with good success but I was using a 6'6" MH rod that just wasn't the right setup. I had trouble getting a good hookset on fish and if a fish hit near the beginning I couldn't hardly do a thing. A lot of fish were lost near the boat so rod with a softer tip would be a good idea. I have been looking for something that 7'6" but I can't seem to find anything. The rod will used with 10-15lb line and matched up with either a Curado or CT250. Looking over the reviews on the site I was interested in St Croix but it 8ft and a little more than I was hoping to spend. I'm mostly a troller but this year I plan on expanding with a few new presentations.
