Good. If they really did steal it they should be sued.

Would that be like the Diawa rods that the line went through the center of the rod ?

I'm a bubba fisherman but huge swimbaits are not my thing.

Am I the only one who finds this hideous looking? Why do we need this ? Does the added weight balance the rod a little better ? Sorry but I just don't get it.

Or get a 734 Sierra microguide or a 704 c

I was always told they should be straight up and down vertical so they don't take a set.

Almost impossible

Thanks. That rod is a steal at that price.

Do you have a link to this place? I can't find it.

Happens with cars all the time I was going to suggest that

I was going to suggest that

Isn't it under warranty ? Maybe it was made that way ?

I use Sierra micro because I use 50 lb Sufix 832 for everything with no leaders. The softer action is better with braid. Since I go by line diameter which is 12 lb for that line I also use it on medium fast rods. I throw Ned rigs on it with no problem. No spinning rods for me. Call me Bubba!!!

Perfect choice. If you were really nice you'd get him a Sierra !!!

Pumpkinseed melon and grape. I've caught a few fish on them. Haven't torn one up yet. They aren't cheap. Kayak works

Tungsten makes a big difference . As a shore fisherman I wouldn't use it. To expensive to loose it.Are you fishing weeds or rocks? In rocks you should fish football heads as they get stuck less.if you can't afford a big boat get a rowboat used. The when you get stuck you can circle around your snag and pull it out from the back.

And has cheaper guides and tfo has lifetime no questions asked warranty.

Agree 100 percent.

Burney knows his stuff and he loves them.Great warranty also.

Yes I drag it slowly. Sometimes I deadstick it for a few minutes. I hated learning this. I'd rather fish lipless cranks ove it a few inches at a time. I use zman baits on Ewg football heads so they stand straight up. My reservoir is rocky with little weeds. I also use a chasebaits mudbug . The 1.09 oz would fish nice on that rod .here's a video on it. This is how to fish a craw.Nothing looks more real than the chasebaits mudbug.Watch Glenn's video too.

I know a guy who uses them and loves them.lookbup Burney Haney on utube

Yes I do have one. And a 734 . Mine are microguides. I use them for bottom contact baits . I fish jigs and tubes and worms with them. I generally have way more success dragging than hopping .I try to keep my line slack to a minimum . I drag until slack is out then position rod so I only have a tiny bit.i let it sit for a while then slowly feel it. If it feels heavy then a fished sucked it in lightly enough that you didn't feel it. Most of the time I have no problem feeling a normal bite. It depends how aggressive the fish are. The 734 is stated as a heavy but it's really a mh with a soft fast action tip. I prefer it for trig worms and the 735 for jigs in heavy cover.

A 3/8 tungsten sinker on the Sierra with braid and you should be feeling almost everything. Sometimes you don't feel it because they took it very lightly. Any change in weight either lighter or heavier is a fish. Take the slack out !!! You should never have a ton of slack. If you drag it on the bottom your line should not be slack and you should feel it. Like iu said both my hands have numb pinkies and ring fingers and I can feel everything with this same set up.

Because a moving bait has a tight line you don't need as sensitive a rod. Bottom contact rods deal with slack line. The lighter and better balanced a rod is the less you have to fight the weight of the rod to feel what's going on. The line transmits the fishes action to the rod. The rod transmits it to you. Imbalance and tip heaviness cancel transmission of signals from the line.
