Just bought the swim jig rod. Have only fished it one full day but I’m loving it. May get a second one for buzzbaits.
I have a poison adrena 7’4 heavy that I’ve boat flipped many fish on. No issues other than a reel seat that came unglued but they took care of it with a free replacement
For sale:
2 x Alx enox decoy 7’1 MH
Both rods are in excellent condition with minor wear on cork from use. All parts are original.
$400 tyd for the pair. Not interested in splitting at this...
I’m in a state where you can only have 3 hooks, so I like to put jig heads/baits on the middle and bottom two wires, then put a #4(?) blade on the top two wires for extra flash.
Catches them good...
I use that rod for A-rigs and glidebaits. Has a nice parabolic bend with good power to throw bigger baits. I don’t throw anything over 3 oz though.
You can get by with a 7’0-7’5 MH rod. They aren’t too cumbersome on the cast or retrieve. That being said, I throw mine on a 7’4 poison adrena heavy/moderate. It’s a more parabolic rod with some...
I would get the 7’7 heavy for sure. You’re making me want to buy another one myself!
Yep will handle both well. It’s not really suited for the really heavy a-rigs, but it’ll throw ones with 1/8-3/16 oz heads just fine. I find mine to be really versatile, but I usually have a magdraft...
I use 25 lb sniper as well. Works great!
Anyone own this rod? I’m struggling to find many reviews of it online, but I see it’s listed as a moderate action. Is this rod soft for reaction baits or can it be used for smaller jigs and worms too?
The 7’7 heavy doesnt seem as powerful in my hands as the other models you listed. Just my 2 cents.
Looking to get a rod that can throw a-rigs, small glides (chad Shad/tiny klash), and some line through swimbaits. Can this rod handle all of those? What is the sweet spot as far as weights? Does it...
It’s a perfect finesse rod. I use mine for drop shot and 3” swimbaits on a jighead, but it can easily throw a ned too. Great rod, nice and lightweight with plenty of power in the backbone.
I bought a few from a local tackle shop on release day. Already had them out fishing before the lakes froze up. Here’s my review…
Yes, the baits are temperamental like Milliken explained in his...
7’4 heavy poison adrena is what I use, but I throw on fluorocarbon.
The adrena 7’4 heavy was designed more so as a swimbait rod. I throw the magdraft on it since it has more of a moderate action. It can throw a jig, but I like slightly faster rod personally.
Sale pending on all 3 rods.

Can’t speak on the B model, but I fish 1/2 oz football jigs on my Expride A 7’6 MH almost exclusively. This rod is perfection.
Just picked up this rod to use for frogs. Have read some comments that it has a nice tip for working frogs in cover but lots of backbone. Have read other comments that said it’s a broomstick.
What...
How does this rod compare to the 7’4 heavy adrena?
Looking for a used dobyns 795 swimbait rod. Let me know if you have one.
Baits are sold pending payment.
Reposting because the last deal fell through. I have the following for sale:
Swimbait garage hyper shad (unpainted)
Fish Everything 6” paperweight (shad pattern w/ purple accents)

What’s everyone using this rod for? Can it handle an A-rig and small (1.5-2 oz) glides or is it not powerful enough?
