#659, "Rod for mission fish?"

Just wondering what sort of rods and reals you guys are using to fish the smaller mission fish(5"-6")? I have been using a 7'6" heavy flippin stick. and feel it fits my situation well. I'm mostly pitching them into tullies, willows and pads. I also just got an Okuma 7'6" heavy for some bigger stuff and was wondering if anyone was using this rod with the smaller mission fish? Is this too much rod for these little baits?

Hey Steve, Thanks for the input. I actualy have a heartland of my own and I agree its a pretty sweat rod. I have mostly been using it for my smaller swimbaits. The 6.5" charlie casts like a dream on that rod. I just got a new okuma and was hopping to find a good application to put a few fish on the new rod. I figured that it was a bit much for the smaller baits. I bought the okuma for throwing the hudd's. for some reason the fish at my local lagoon wont touch the hudd.x(. I just keep throwing it any way. I guess I will just have to wait for a trip to oregon to catch a fish on my new swimbait rod. (pretty sad huu) Nice fish by the way. Did you catch it in the snow?

how long of a flouro leader are you guys using? And, are you going from mono to flouro or braid to flouro?

I wouldn't throw the smaller baits with my Okuma. I use my 7', 6" Heavy or Extra Heavy Kistler Helium for Matt's Baits and the like.
