    I have also started throwing my big (1oz+) on a glass rod, Dobyns 736 to be exact and i love it. Ive never had as much confidence in a deep spinnerbait rod as i do in this one. I might lose my first 3 fish this year on it, but theyll be the first 3 ive lost and the moderate action really helps them get it all. The glass rod isnt nearly as heavy as i expected when i bought it. I dont throw chatterbaits often, but when i do its on that rod
    They aint got hands, set the hook

    Powell Endurance 755CB Glass. Awesome ChatterBait and lipless rod. Weighs nothing and has the perfect glass feel to it. Used the original and loved it, was sad when it was discontinued. Just came back and I picked up the new version. It feels lighter and better. You won’t regret it

    Diawa Tatula Elite 7'4". I believe it's the Brent Ehrler CB/Bladed Jig rod. It's worked well for me.

    Falcon Reaction series CCB-5-173. It’s a graphite rod, med-hvy action 7’3” rod designed with a parabolic action for throwing crankbaits. I don’t mind it for square bills but has become my go to chatterbait rod.

    Bladed jigs has been something I've thrown a TON and I've never seen the need to use a glass rod and I'm fishing them with 30-40lb braid. I used a 6'6" MH cabelas rod for years before switching to a 6'8" Shimano crucial and now I'm using a fitzgerald rods bryan thrift series chatterbait rod. Great rod.

    IROD vibrating jig rod here! Own two of them and have a 3/8 and 1/2 jackhammer tied on at all times.

    If I was going to get glass I would probably start with the evergreen one designed by the master himself Brett Hite

    Older purple Powell Endurance 705CB which is a stout composite rod. I've also used the 755CB for chatters. Like them both.

    I would take a look at the ALX line up. I have been throwing it on the ALX Ben Parker Expert Series Crankbait rod. Super light and perfect for chatterbaits.
