Rod Lengths & Techniques

[msbcguy]

Just curious, what techniques are y'all using the following rods/actions for?

7'2" MH Fast - Jig/Worm?
6'10 MH Fast - Spinnerbait/Topwater?

I bought these at a really good price and can't decide what to use them for because they aren't "technique" specific.

Thanks!

Huh? I assume these were the MB Orichi rods?

Worm and jig and spinnerbaits are techniques. Not sure what you are looking for...

[msbcguy]

Lol! Sorry, I put those techniques in there followed by a "?" suggesting those specific techniques for each rod...

Let me re-phrase...

What techniques would you use those two rods for?

[Stingray23]

Who makes the rods? Sometimes knowing the brand will help.

[msbcguy]

They are the Lew's Mach 1 casting rods...

[Stingray23]

While I am not familiar with those rods, I can say that if I were gonna use those rods, I would consider both rods interchangeable. They are essentially the same rod minus 4". The longer of the 2 for distance casting a spinnerbait, worm, smaller jig, etc... The shorter one for the same techniques but for closer quarters. More precise casting.

Thank you, stingray. They are “budget rods” but I still intend on using them. They were too good of a deal for me to pass up. You can never have too many rods, right?

Maybe one of these days I’ll have enough coin to buy the good stuff!

thwre is no reason to have $200-500 reaction bait rods. I have Nrx for bottom contact baits but reaction bait rods are all less than $175 each

Skeeter, I agree. I do not fish a lot of tournaments so the $99 to $150 rods work fine for me.

Being a topwater 1st guy I have had my best results with a 6-3 Impulse or 6-6 rod...
it all depends on the cover...open water use longer but in among trees/bushesunderhangs and docks...shorter means much more accurate overall...
I have caught bass over 8# on my 6-3 medium rod...

I use 7-3 MH fast tip for topwater 5 inch swimbaits over grass because rarely will grass have a lot of other treeccover all through it...
6-9 MH for chatter and spinnerbaits has worked very well....
to each his own...

What you listed is the techniques I’d use with them. Almost bought the 7’2” to use for a toad rod. Weren’t they half off at Dicks?

x2 skeeterj01...spend the $ on a bottom contact baitcaster & all around spinning setup. Everything else are fillers
