I currently have a St. Croix tournament bass wacky rod and really like it. I throw both unweighted up to 3/16 oz heads. I need an additional rod. Any other thoughts on a good rod for that application to try?

I use a Abu Garcia Villain 2.0 for this and a few other techniques and it's the finest spinning rod I've used
Price range, casting or spinning? I use casting gear for these techniques. My favorite rod for wacky rigs is the nrx 852. Another rod I like is a kistler klx. Both rods come in spinning versions as well. You could use just about any medium powered rod for wacky rigging.
NRX 853 Works for me.
Can anything touch that rod? AmazingOriginally Posted by yudo
NRX 852C. It's also a good choice for floating worms.
Absolutely love the Dobyns Champion 702SF XP for wacky rigs.
ALX Rods ZOLO Mitch. It's a great all-around rod with the perfect length for shooting lures under docks and hanging tree limbs. The tip is perfectly suited for accurate casts with soft landings. The Mitch excels at senkos, wacky rigs, and dock shooting.

Hands down Best rod I have used for weightless and very lightly weighted wacky rig is the Falcon LFC-167 Mike McClelland weightless worm rod.
Use another company for all my other specialty rod needs.
Good Luck, I know you will get 10,001 different recommendations.
