Been getting into throwing keitech fat swing impact in 3.8 and 4.5. I would like to get a rod for them. Nothing longer then 7' and I have a budget of $250. Any recommendations? Thanks!

Under 7' and in that price range I would look around for a used Orochi XX 6' 10" Spinnerbait Special. Unfortunately Megabass isn't making that rod anymore with the refresh of the Orochi XX lineup and I wish I bought a second one when I had the chance. If I can't find a good used one, I'll probably go with the Megabass Levante 6' 10" Spinnerbait Special - same rod but subjectively a little less aesthetically refined than the XX rods.

I personally don’t care for a glass rod for single hook applications. I think the Spinnerbait Special, or the Flat Side Special would better fit your needs.

I use either the spinnerbait special or the tour versatile

What line and rigging are you throwing them on?
2008 Stratos 294 XL
2008 Evinrude etec 200 HP H.O.
I use #20 Daiwa j braid with a #10 mono leader. Most of the time I use a 1/4 ball jig head with 3/0 hook. Sometimes I texas rig them with ewg 3/0 hook.
I have been throwing on Daiwa Tatula elite 6'9. Doubles as good dock skipping rod too.
I use an ALX Deputy. Absolutely killer for this technique. It is a great all purpose rod also.
I picked up the Megabass F5-610K Chimaera from the tackle trap. It is one sweet rod. Going to work perfectly. Thanks everyone!
