Do I get a free hat or something for probably being the thousandth person to ask this?

 

In the market for a second tube stick in addition to the 6'8" M XF SC3 mojo I already own. Felt the 7'1" M F SC3 Mojo side by side and it's whippier than I'd like, looking for something that loads up on a slaunch at the end of a long cast with ease! Also plan on fishing heavier heads with this one, likely 1/4-3/8oz.

 

Any of you KC melvern/wolf boys see this, speak up! hah

The 7ft berkley emotion MH xf gets it done for me

was going to recommend the nrx 852 or 872 but im not sure how they would handle the 3/8oz + tube. They are not as powerful as the 68mxf LE or Avid and I assume the mojo is similar. many people in the great lakes area fish tubes with the 872.

I have 2 nrx 872's and I fish St Clair. That is a fantastic rod. I'm not sure if I have gone much heavier than a 1/4 Oz weight though.

If you like the mojo what about just stepping up one to MH?

Dobyns 743 or legend elite 7'M

I fish tubes typically on two different rods.  

6'9 M Fast Rage Casting

7' M Fast Premier spinning

I would replace the Premier with a similar Avid X for tubes, though, I do still really like it a lot for other things.

I have the NRX 872.  In the summer, I use 3/8 oz heads 90% of the time, and the rod handles the weight really well.  When I go heavier than 3/8 oz, which is rare, I use a baitcaster.

I have the 68 MXF spinning and got the 610MLXF to go with it.  I also have a casting 71MF with a Shimano Metanium MGL that is smooth as silk for plastics.

That question has been asked a thousand times.

No free hat!

I may ask Raymond if he'll knock a good amount off in exchange for this guy. Hate to part ways with it but that stick is exactly what I'm looking for.

I use a Fenwick 7'6" Med Light XF for tubes 3/8 and under. If I'm going heavier I'll use a baitcaster, Dobyns 734.

 

I really like the ML for tubes and smallies. The length will give you plenty of leverage, braid and a leader will give you a solid hookset (I use a Zona tube hookset), the ML will give you plenty of give when the smallies go airborne. For me, it's the perfect tube jig setup.
