    Wiggle Wart Rod

    I’ve been playing with 4 or 5 rods and always looking for the perfect wart rod.
    Really want everyone’s opinions on what your go to Wart rod is ?
    To take a step further... Your Magnum Wart rod ?
    Let me know your thoughts...

    I never throw the magnum wart. I have too many wart/RK crawler rods but a couple of my favorites are.. Cara 4-17, it's the older model when Falcon used the Shikari blank., a custom MHX 843 CB blend built by Kissel Krafts and one I'd never let get away is a RAZR 7ft medium, it's not a crankbait specific rod but the action is perfect.
    I'm trying the new Kistler graphite series in the light medium heavy and I think it's going to work well.

    Most of our customers lean towards the ALX Rods Hustler - 7' MH S-Glass cranking rod for the regular wart.

    Is that Falcon rod one of the original Cara’s ?
    I think it’s the CLC -4-17 ? The blank is a little thicker ?

    The falcon cara reaction medium cranker is the best I have found too bad they don’t make them anymore. The cara Mansfield is pretty good but that reaction rod is my favorite

    They are green with a full handle. They are the only green Cara's I personally have ever seen.
    They are a absolute noodle compared to the newer models. More like the discontinued shoal cranker which was another great wart rod.

    Alpha Angler Rebound for me. Glass rod that can throw the lighter baits. Works great for me..

    I think this is going to be the next rod for me.
    I have the Chatter Bound and it’s an awesome feeling rod,well built and balanced. I was back and fourth with the Rebound and the Hustler.
    Alpha Angler rods definitely fly under the radar on this forum but they make a great rod.Just hard to get them at discount until they have a sale.
