Punch Rod

[bullrider]

Best punch rod for the money; getting old so it needs to be sensitive, lol

I'm a fan of the Dobyns 735 in the Champion series.. I'd also look into the Dobyns Fury series for $109. A few friends have them and like them as well.

I never thought about that. I've got a 7'11" hvy red blank Cumara. It's a great rod but it wears me out. I feel like I've been pitching hay after about an hour flipping with it.

How would a guy go about adding weight to a rod with next to nothing on the butt end? It's not like those old BPS Extremes that had a screw off knob on the butt that made it easy . How much weight should I start with?

[tmayon]

There are some products out there that make some with rubber caps that will slide over the butt of any rod. They come with several weights and you just add however many are needed to get the balance you desire. You coul also make something like this yourself using something like furniture end caps and even if you used quarters for your weights it would probably be as cheap or cheaper. I bet if you Google it you can find some youtube videos of how to make some or info on some store bought brands.

894/895 nrx/glx they are costly but worth it.

The bps one he is talking ab is the one I've used before. I don't own a counter weight rod but I want one bad. Prob will be my next rod purchase. U can flip a ounce- ounce and a half weight all damn day with no stress. It's really nice

I use a power tackle paragon and love it.

You can replace the butt end of the rod with one of the counter balance butts from any of the rod building suppliers.

[bayouXpress]

get a custom built. About the same price and usually better warranty and quality. i'm using an mhx FP935 blank. its 7'9" mod fast heavy with the new win grips.

Thanks, I'll have to check that out. It may sound silly but I don't want to take a $279 rod and booger it up with some washers and black tape or one of those baby blue squeak toy looking things I see some guys using.

I sold mine and replaced them with klx stump grinders, the nrx had very good sensitivity but lacked in the backbone a little for my taste. I fished with an nrx and a glx for two seasons and got rid of them.

Earlier this year I bought that Phenix M-1... I threw down that lews rod I was using... Love the Phenix... I only
used it a handful of trips but it's finally what I've been hunting in a flipping stick... It's light enough to pitch/flip all day, it'll punch mats... Pretty good sensitive tip, lot of action for a 7-8 heavy but still plenty backbone...

Im ready to quit traveling and get back home to stay for a while and get back to fishing... I should be home after thanksgiving..

[Cajunhunter67]

Dobyns Champ 735C would be great. But I do believe anything over 1 1/2 ounces I would get the 736C. It has enough backbone to pull a Volvo out the grass.

I use those flat duck decoy weights. The kind u wrap around the decoy's neck...just wrap arounf the butt of the rod for counter balance...u can cut the length of the weight to adjust how much u need.����

U got a link to what u talking ab?

Andy Brignac builds all of my rods. I have 3 different punching rods with the weight kit on the butt. They can be had for around $180-250 depending on the blank. I have fished 2 day tournaments using a punch rod for 95% of the day, without that weight kit your wrist/arm will tire easily.

Give him a call or text. (225) 206-4435
Also if you're ever around the Gramercy/Lutcher area Z's Tackle normally has a few in the store if you want to get a feel for the action or weight setup you want.
