G Loomis BSR 803 GLX

[EKYRanger]

Guys I’ve got a BSR 803 GLX with the recoil guides. I believe it’s from the first year they went to the recoil guides. I’ve only used the rod sparingly. I think I fished a stupid tube with it. Anyways, I was just wondering what techniques others use with this rod or what techniques you’d recommend to use with these rods. It’s a good rod but I just never use it but I’d like to start. So what would you all fish with this rod?

Smaller jigs, flukes, sheaky head, and lighter tx rigs

Anyone else?

I've got a BSR 803 mossyback, so pretty similar. It's fairly stout. I use it for jighead inserted tubes, weightless flukes, wacky worm and shakyhead.
I tend to like the shorter length for skipping around docks and such.

It's a medium heavy with a lot of backbone and sensitive. Too powerful for "finesse" fishing in general. It makes an awesome rod for skipping a Senko under a dock. It's plenty powerful to fish jigs and good sized texas rigs too.

Will you sell it lol I honestly threw a jerkbait on it exclusively growing up and loved it it’s a good rod to skip wacky rigs around docks got the tip to sling it and plenty of horsepower to rip em out from under the dock
