    i had a kistler h3 med light casting rod that worked great, now i use a st croix legend elite 7' med light spinning rod, and a st croix 7'6 legend elite med light and they work great really digging the 7'6 med light for the spy baits.

    GLX 852c JWR with a Zillion SV TW 5.5:1 reel is my primary spybait rod but if I want to have a second one to chuck around I use a Megabass XX Flatside Special with an SV 105 5.8:1 reel. I use 10lb Sunline Sniper FC for spybaits.

    Shikari P7000, I use straight 6lb Tatsu too. I think a light action popping blank is good for these baits

    I agree, you'd want something more parabolic to handle those little trebles. I'd go with something like this plus a few inches.

    I'll agree with the ML spinning rod being the ticket here.
