Looking to get another swimbait setup for smaller 6-7" or less swimbaits approx. 2oz and under, Fred's Magic Stick seems to fit the bill with the specs. Has anyone used this rod, has this rod, that could let me know if it is a good rod for this purpose? Thanks.

Have a buddy who swears by that rod, it will handle hollow body swimbaits pretty well

He uses his for just about everything

I have one. I have used it for deep 25ft + football jigs, 1/2 oz swim jigs and flipping with 1oz bullet in front of a brush hog. Rod simply performs. I also swung a 5lber in the boat with it and the rod handled it like a boss!

Excellent utility rod for lures to 1/2-3 oz. I use this rod for S-Wavers, rats, DD22 and big deep diving crank baits, frog rod etc. IG754F heavy model with Cardiff 300A reel.

Most versatile rod I own.

Thanks for the answers so far! What swimbaits do you guys throw on this rod? And does the rod handle weights slightly over 2oz?

Good rod for BBZ-1rat, 2 1/2 oz lure.

Would the rod in discussion also work for punching grass and such?
