picked up a Lamiglas excel 2 glass rod and aside from crankbaits what other techniques do u guys use a glass rod for? i figured topwAter but im also wondering if anyone throws buzzbaits or spinnerbaits on them sometimes? figured it would help with allowing the fish to take the bait without ripping it from its mouth. i like the rod it feels like it has a little more power than my powell diesel

i use them for basically every thing!!! even football jigs if im running low on rods! my phenix x10 is great for everything exempt swimbaits and frogs

 Specifically, Chatter baits, Spinner baits, & Lipless Baits in mostly open water (and not when ripping the bait out of the grass). 

 

 Also most any treble hook bait.  I'll switch between braid and mono depending on the application.

think im gonna pair the rod with a Tatula 6.3:1

Those are the techniques I sometimes use glass for too.  Think moving baits.

Tatula is the right direction.

Glass rods are for moving baits. You should be fine using them for cranks, jerkbaits, traps, & topwaters. The secondary uses would be spinnerbaits and chatterbaits. I would NOT fish jigs, weightless plastics, texas rigs, carolina rigs or frogs on this rod.

All treble hook lures. I think the tip is too soft for single hooks.

I have a Lamiglas SR705R which is my primary rod for deep

crankbaits.

 

 

 

 

Any moving bait if you can get away with it.

Treble hooks! I've used it for buzzbaits too, but I prefer my medium premier.
