What are your guys thoughts on theses rods?

Casted smoothie silk changed up my rod switched to my glass rod turned out that had a lot to do with my overruns I was using extra fast stiff rod. I actually have experience with theses brakes because I have a casitas. I also use a curado I but different breaks still a great reel though. Yeah I’m really liking this reel.

If that’s the case that worries me that it’s the reel I need to throw a crankbait asap.

Haha funny. I only use shimano reels but like I did mention I didn’t have a lot of time to throw heavier cranks I’ll play with it again soon.

Buy shimano it’s easier to learn how to use a baitcaster it’s more forgiving than a Diawa imo.

Trig senko for sure, see if there is actually any in there?

I like theses reels for nostalgiac purposes I would like to own em myself very nice looking.

Have you fished a glass rod before? You should consider that first I personally don’t like the feel of a glass rod maybe you should be looking at a graphite rod like a St. Croix mhmf mojo spinnerbait I use this rod for the applications you are talking about. And it’s a very good rod.

Yo zuri, because I like Japanese baits.

Fallowing.

Duckett ghost is a great choice for 100$ bucks they are very sensitive and the blanks are phenomenal go with a ghost you won’t regret it.

Traditional senko style stick bait always I never go finesse trick worm.

Nice looking baits ! Jerk jerk pause

It’s way better than the D Of course the k is better but we’re talking about the best for 150 and if thats all I had to spend I’d buy another 200i

Now. Lol

Next time get the proper measurements you won’t have this problem or get a cheapy scale I say call it a solid 4 and try and beat that from now on. So 4 is a great pb now you need a 5

Curado I is 149$ that’s the best you can get for 150 and it’s a great reel for all your applications.

Spinnerbait, chatterbait,squarebills and flukes,rage menace and senkos.

Will you be buying new or used?

I have a zodias 7mf spinning rod and I can tell you it’s my favorite rod. I definitely recommend a zodias. Extremely sensitive and strong you can’t go wrong with it. I was actually in your same predicament a year ago I couldn’t make up my mind between the loomis e6x or the zodias and I’m glad I picked the zodias.

Rage menace

I buy more expensive gear I like higher end shimanos and higher end rods. Iv come to a point where a lot of what I’m buying is more of a nostalgic product or novelty item for me. I love to buy what I can Barely afford. A lot of times I don’t even use some of it I just like looking at it on my shelve with the rest of my reels. Rods I don’t go to crazy 200 bucks is the most I’ll spend. I like showing them off to my buddies when we go fishing and they also do the same. I often fish with a buddy of mine that never spends more than 100 on his combos we catch about the same amount of fish. You don’t need expensive gear but it sure is a pleasure to fish with.

Ultimatlely the perfect rod for me would have to be custom. I won’t be going that route however, I think I’m deciding on a dobyns champ 685c. Thank you guys for your help I’ll keep you posted...

Yes finally something I think will work the hammer rods checked them out online and I like what I’m seeing so far I think the 6’9 medium or medium heavy have a moderate action that I think I’m looking for so far I like these rods the price is good. I’m considering these no doubt. The downside is that there crankbait specific rods all start at the 7 foot plus.
