It's actulally 6'7' but the Falcon weightless worm rod is a great stickbait rod. I actually like it better than the jerkbait special.

I don't know if they are available everywhere but around here Net bait has a color they call Table Rock red that is a nice match, also use the cinnamon twin tail on a Ernest Langley PBJ.

I actually own that rod, The 5 power powell is a medium heavy, it handles deep little N's and 5XD'S fine. I'm surprised you would have trouble pulling a spinnerbait with it.

Depends on what kind of crankbaits, For squarebills and medium divers I like the jadewood 843. If you want a DD22 ,6XD ect. rod I'd look and the Mojo big crankster.

I've never seen a serial number on them but maybe I havent looked close enough...there is a bar code on the box .

Yep, War eagle and Dixie jet... White, cole slaw and silver.

I own both, The DX just feels heavier in comparison .In terms of sensitivity in my hands the DX falls somewhere between IMX and GLX. Both are very good rods but I think the NRX is better. Is it worth the extra cost ? to me yes..

I really like the Table Rock Black lights, great guy and a great product.

I don't think the cara gives up any sensitivity to the loomis but the 843 is a great all around rod, even spinnerbaits and squarebills. If you look at the Falcon I would say the head turner would be a good choice.

I would think it's closer to 20 years old. The trouble with the older crankbait rods is that they are short by todays standards. I wouldn't want to go back to throwing DD22's on a 6 1/2 ft rod. but for squarebills or shallower baits still a good rod. a 7 footer would probably be worth a bit more ..I would think 30 or 40 bucks.

My favorite is the Vision 110, the best value is the RTX, I think the best combination of performance and value is the Mcstick..

I like custom painted because I can get the bait exactly like I want it . With that said, I think a good running bait is the most important regardless of color. I have a old wart that started out as purple fire tiger . That thing caught a load of fish. The fish and the rocks finally wore the paint off. so, I had Rob McGilvery paint it one of his craw's. It still catches fish just like it did before. I think that bait just runs right.

I use a couple local guys around Table Rock , Either Tim Hughes or Rob McGilvrey . Tim has a web site, I don't think Rob does but I can pass on his cell # if you pm me. They both do outstanding work at a reasonable price.

I own the mojo glass crankbait rod, really nice crank stick but It wouldn't be my first choice for a jerkbait rod.. I use the Denali Murphy signature for jerkbaits, poppers and small squarebills just a great rod. The kovert would work well also.Its just a touch long for a jerkbait rod for my taste.

My favorite over the years has been the Falcon weightless worm, just a super stickbait rod. Another one to consider would be the Denali Murphy signature .I use a chronarch 50 on either with 10lb super natural.

The old houston made all stars were some great rods. I think I bought mine about 30 years ago and still use the Zell Rowland TWS. It's a great pop r and spook jr. rod even by todays standards. .. I think there are better choices in todays market starting with the Denali mentioned earlier.

I wouldn't repaint them if you plan to resell. There is a good market for pre rapala warts here in the ozarks. But most guys use local painters who are familiar with what works around here. The paint job may actually hurt the value. Just be sure they have "wiggle wart" under the bill and not storm. If they are v37 or 38, v62 or 63 they will bring the most Those I would never repaint unless the paint just wears off..

8 or 10 lb super natural mono.

I own a bunch and depending on your budget the GLX 894jwr is about as good as it gets. For less money I like the Falcon cara amistad , although I've never tried less that 3/8s and a trailer with it . just a great stick..The cumara is also in that price range. The 745 would also be in my top 3 or 4..

I don't think there is a finer rod out there than the glx and nrx. I wouldn't buy a Loomis anywhere but American legacy, They will replace a broken rod and not involve Loomis in warranty claims at all . much easier to deal with.

Yep, Call American Legacy, they are the experts with all things Loomis .While your on the phone ask them about the new warranty program !

Yep, Toray's website says it's a manufacturer...actually it's blackwaters site. No biggie, I do like the Tatsu a lot but other than that all sunline sniper.

Doesn't Toray manufacture they're own line ? Could be wrong but I thought sunline did as well.

I think you will tell a difference in the two, the champion is a great moving bait rod but for bottom contact, if it's in the budget I would step up to the DX. I have 703,704, and 745. The 703 is fairly soft if you plan on going heavier than 3/8. Personally I like the 745 the best of the bunch.

I would agree with bluebasser, If you want to catch crankbait fish on Table Rock I would be up the rivers and in some stained water if I could find it. I've had a decent bite on the bluff walls at times but you have to be able to bounce it off the rocks and ledges to get bit, at least in my experience.
