Technique specific rods?

Featured Replies

I have a st croix mojo bass spinner bait model. Now is that rod only used for spinnerbaits? I've never really heard anything about them. Could they be used for other technique fishing? 

I'd use it for chatterbaits and soft plastic swimbaits too.  also 1/2 oz or 3/4oz inline spinners for Pike.

Technique specific labels are only suggestions. The power and action and lure weight rating would give an idea what else it would work for.

All rods are technique specific rods.   All rods are multi purpose rods.  You get to decide.  Glad I could help

IMHO, for 90% of bass fishing technique specific rods are not needed.............however, there are two techniques that require specialized gear.............Punching heavy vegetation, and deep cranking with big plugs. Everything else is personal preference.

Spinnerbaits, chatterbaits, swimjigs, and small swimbaits will work on that rod!

Don't listen to these guys! If you use it for anything other than spinnerbaits, it will explode!

I agree. I wouldn't look into the technique labeled on the rod. That model rod is a good of all around rod, so I definitely wouldn't limit it to just spinnerbaits

I had that rod for awhile and it made a pretty good pitching rod around sparse cover. Honestly felt it was too stiff to fish a spinnerbait very well.
