    Favorite Soft plastics (Worm) rod 6'8"-6'10"

    What would pair good and balance right with a Shimano DC150?
    Had an E6X G loomis 853 and snapped on a hookset this weekend. Now looking to replace with a 6'8" to 6'10" in med/heavy 4-5 power rod that balances with that reel.
    Like the shorter rod for accuracy.
    Casting 1/8 to 3/8 weight w/ 10" worm.

    I use the Falcon Cara 5 power 6'10"... I believe it use to be called Eakin's Jig Rod. I fish Lakes that the Head Turner would be Over Kill. The Bass I catch hardly bend my 5 power.

    St. Croix Mojo 7'1" Medium power fast action rod.
    MJC71MF - Plastics. A great rod for fishing soft plastics including Senko-style baits. Ideal for tubes, grubs, small worms, light jigs, small spinnerbaits and buzzbaits.

    The Eakins or Headturner would both work great. The Headturner is really more of a med hvy and would be my choice. It’s also of the best all around rods I have.

    K-Dawg suggest two very good picks.
    Another would be the SC Legend Tournament 7’ 1” Plastics. My favorite rod for pitching and casting Texas rig worms of all sizes with light, or no, weight.

    ALX skipper works well. I've found I use it for a lot more than just skipping.

    Kistler M/H either Magnesium or Helium ( I love the less expensive Mags) in 7' to 7'3". Talk about a nice rod for the money!

    I have a custom st. Croix elite that I'm pretty happy with feel wise. It's weird but I don't feel as accurate in casting with that rod though.

    I have two 6’8” st croix ltb that I wouldn’t trade for any rod on planet for pitching. Handle is perfect, action is perfect, length is perfect FOR ME. Deep water I move to 7-72

    I love my G Loomis bronzeback series for worm fishing. They are 6’3” and 6’7”. I have seven of them if that tells anything lol. I have some more expensive rods for other lures but worm fishing is my staple! They just feel right!!!

    It's a little softer than the toadface but still plenty to fish 1/8-3/8 oz TX rigs. I use the toadface more for 1/2 oz and up both TX and jigs.
