What type, for 4"-5" soft swimbaits I.e. Sick Fish, Flukes with 1/4 oz swim bait hooks

    Any MH/F will be fine. I like a rod around 7', but not too much more than 7-6.

    I use a 6'6" M/F Legend Xtreme for mine. I throw mostly 5" Cane Thumpers.

    You think 15lb Copoly would be to much.

    Nope. I use 15 lb CXX for 5" ish paddletails. You could certainly go less (or more), but I'll take the larger diameter when there's pike around... and there's always pike around.

    I've been searching for a Swimbait Rod myself lately. I just picked up a 7'MH Ethos that appears to be perfect for a 4" Swimbait. It has a softer tip then most MH rods which is perfect. Landed several yesterday and it casted perfectly. I matched it with 15lb line and a Lew's BB1.
