Would you recommend the 7’6 MH as a jig rod for 1/2-3/4 oz jigs on offshore rock piles and points? Or would you prefer the 7’6 H that most people use for flipping?
@patrickzajdelАй бұрын
The 7’6mh would do it. But the 7’7H is a more moderate rod that is better suited for offshore applications with heavier weights! I think the 7’6mh is more universal

@ do you prefer the moderate action in longer tide for bottom contact? Graphite moderate I mean

sir what speed of reel are you using for the chatterbait?
@patrickzajdel Жыл бұрын
I use a 7.2:1 exclusively. Haven’t found a need to slow down or speed up most of the time. When fishing the 3/4oz out deep, a 6.2:1 could be beneficial to keep it on strike zone longer.

How about the 7'6" medium heavy moderate fast for big worms and jigs? I am looking for a rod that has a nice parabolic load up to keep them pinned but still have some backbone.
@patrickzajdel6 ай бұрын
That 7’6MH can do so many things! It would be a great big wormin’ rod and offshore jig rod.

Would the 7’6” MH work well with 4.3 and 4.8 Keitechs on a 1/4 ounce flashy swimmer?

What action are you using? That's an important thing to go over. Not sure if I missed that.
@patrickzajdel7 ай бұрын
Each rod has a different action. But most of the time I prefer a fast for bladed jigs.

Florida is chatterbait central. Use what works for you. Just like flipping ( multiple different rods) same holds true for chatterbaits. Are you skipping docks and laydowns or casting big flats of hydrilla or eel grass. Are you fishing deep offshore grass and brush or burning the bait. I use braid and a fiberglass rod to cover grass flats better hookup ratio. Deep cranking rod. Its all about where your fishing it.

Exactly! That’s why there is not one rod for it that covers every situation.

Is the 172H also good for chatterbaits? I want to use it for Pike. Or is the MH the only way to go?
@patrickzajdel28 күн бұрын
I wouldn’t recommend the 7’2h for chatterbaits. It’s a little too fast for my liking. If you want a rod with a little more leverage over big pike checkout the 7’6mh Expride

Have you fished the new poison adrena in MH and ML-H are they good for chatterbait fishing for pike?
@patrickzajdel23 күн бұрын
@ the new Poison Adrena are very nice. Really like the actions on them especially the casting rods. Those will be good rods for pike fishing

Nothing in particular. Just away to identify the series alphabetically as different variations come out. The original and first Expride series was called the Expride A.

Wasn't impressed with the expride for chatter bait. To be honest all the trickle down technology that goes into the Zodias and Curado are as good as the Expride minus the guides but the Expride feels heavier now then the other two

@patrickzajdel 7'2" medium heavy The Rod is either heavy or not balanced, and ended up with a Daiwa Tatula 7' 2" MH glass cranking rod not their glass bladed jig rod which is a MH 7'4" too but heavy feeling 8n the hands, The $159 cork handle rods. But I think my favorite is Bass Pro Shops Johnny Morris CarbonLite Technique Casting Rod - 7'3" - Heavy - Heavy Moderate - Bladed Jig SKU: 3810360 I have tried many a rods for this technique and they cross over for 3/4oz rattle trap rod. More expensive doesn't always mean better. That Bass Pro bladed jig rod is even better then Abu Garcia Hank Cherry Bladed jig rod better balanced etc. and I think Abu Garcia makes it for Bass Pro
