Hi all. Just trying to get your thoughts on what a good application would be for a Heavy Power Extra Fast action rod would be.  Thanks!

What brand rod? Everyone's definition of fast and extra fast is a little different.

 

But overall a heavy extra fast rod, for me is good for heavy jigs.

Thanks. It's a St. Croix victory. Was looking at one for jigs, but wasn't sure if it was overkill. 

Here's the FB post that has the Victory recommended techniques...3 charts covering the entire line

The 73Hxf isn't a true heavy.  It's St Croix version of a Loomis 873 model.

I have the LTB 7’3” HXF and it’s closer to a MHF. Has a nice tip and a strong backbone. The Victory should be very similar if not the same. Great rod for t-rigs and jigs in the 3/8-1/2oz range

 

Punchfishing has a great video on YT on the exact rod you are looking at and gives a nice breakdown on it

I have this rod and agree it is not a true heavy. It’s a great jig rod, sensitive, strong. It’s got more backbone than a standard mh but a soft tip yet. I like it for frogs, but love it for jigs. I think I could through most lures in my boat on it. It’s light, but a touch tip heavy so I prefer a average weight reel on it, like a Daiwa Fuego Ct. I highly recommend it.

Jigs, heavy gauge wire swim jigs and or Texas rigged baits, even frogs.

They list "jerkbaits", "weightless jerkbaits", "soft plastic jerkbaits" and "hard jerkbaits". Are they just trying to confuse people? ? Bunch of jerks.

What about those jerkbaits that are hardbodied with a soft tail?  Which one do I get?
