    That wiggle wart/mag wart is right up there with the jigworm for fishin tonkas foil! From the little bit Ive done, it seems like a "cranking" rod isnt what you want. Might miss a couple more fish but I liked the fast tip to snap it out of weeds.

    My question is, where are you finding clean weeds right now??

    I use a 7' worm/jig rod, and 14# dual copolymer line. 5:1 reel, or no faster than 6.3:1.
    First and foremost, you need to find the right spots to apply this tactic. You do not search for fish this way. You just offer already pressured fished fish a new look.

    Agreed. I only have a certain set of conditions where I will do this.
