Tackle warehouse has this rod on sale for $150. I love throwing swimbait more than anything else, what will I notice differently with this compared to my veritas 6"9 mh i currently use. I have never fished a rod at 7"10' either. Not sure how comfortable it would be for me.

What kind of swimbaits are you chucking with a short, MH rated rod? That rod is rated for 3 to 8 oz. baits.  If you want to step up into bigger baits, that's a great price.

I just use the soft body 4 inch swimbaits. I am very new to technique and gear specific equipment so you will have to excuse my lack of knowledge. It sounds like it could be a good match for my curado 300 ej.

Yes, that would be a great reel for that rod.  But, that setup would be too heavy for 4" soft body baits.  That rod is designed for much heavier baits.

I figured I would need to go bigger on the baits if I bought that rod. Thanks for your input, the nocluefisher name is for a reason.

That GL2 would also make a great umbrella rig rod.

Sold out.

Just left my academy. They are marked down to 99.88-79.99.
