    It's a bottom contact rod for me but if I'm going in someone else's boat and I'm only bringing a few rods I'll use it for swimjigs, chatterbaits and dragging flukes or speed worms across the grass and lilies.

    I use it to throw weightless plastics too, 5-7” senkos and soft plastic jerks, I have experimented with swim jigs & chatters but felt the action and tip is just too fast and stout, been a while may give it another go.

    Its a little stiff too reactive for moving presentations in my opinion i think youd miss alot of fish but ive never tried either so maybe experiment and let us know
