I was thinking of getting a mojo bass glass rip in chatter or even the legend glass rip n chatter and I was curious what y’all think of it

   I've got the Mojo Bass 7'-02" H/M Rip 'n' Chatter. I love it; most versatile rod I have. The moderate action is more accurate than fast actions. I use it for 1 oz. cranks, 1 oz. spoons, spinnerbaits and blade lures. I'm in the process of finding out whether it will suffice for a light frog rod. If I had braid on it, I could MAYBE use it for bottom contact.

   Remember, however, that I'm accustomed to fiberglass. I like it. Some people don't. I'm also old; I can't push a heavier rig as hard as a younger person. That may make a big difference. 

   Good luck!       jj

Fiberglass rods are heavy.  Graphite/glass composite rods are somewhat less heavy.  It is my opinion that you can almost always find an action in graphite that is similar to any glass action you may want and you'll save several ounces in the process.  Having fished with fiberglass rods in the 70's & 80's, having happily & successfully made the transition to graphite rods, I don't want to go backwards, technology wise.  Every fiberglass rod I've handled recently I've thought it was too heavy, don't care if it has the right "slow bend" it weighs too much and I know my wrists will pay for it, so I don't buy them.

What size chatters are you throwing

   I don't throw chatterbaits. At all. Not on this rod, not on any other rod. If by "blade lures" you thought I meant chatterbaits, then I apologize. I throw blade lures, like Silver Buddy and Zonars. The 3/4 Elken Zonar from Elken Lures in Idaho (Steve Day) is an excellent one.

   This misunderstanding reminds me of the difference in perception between "paddletail" and "boot tail" plastics.

   I was advised by someone at the St. Croix factory, by the way, to not exceed the 1 3/8 lure weight rating on this rod. I know that someone who designed rods at St. Croix left and went to Batson, and I imagine that their legacy went with them. The new person coming in to the job will undoubtedly have a different set of ideas regarding how to not only design, but manufacture and rate the rods. This fiberglass rod might or might not have been designed by the outgoing personnel. I don't know. I threw a 1 1/2 ounce spoon with mine, and it reacted rather well. Still, I know that the easiest way to reduce the weight of a fiberglass rod is to make the walls thinner.

   That might be the case on this series, or it might not. I don't know. All I know is .....

 

   wait for it .....

 

   wait for it .....

 

 

       I LOVE THIS ROD!     ????         jj
