the ohh face Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 Hey i just asked for a viento for christmas and im wondering what rod i should purchase to go with it. I already have a st croix M/H fast action 6'6". I was thinking maybe a 7' g-loomis or another st croix rod with a heavier action. The g-loomis seems a little expensive but i might be able to swing it w/out having to buy the reel. The Flipping stick GL-3 seems like a good buy and i was also looking at the st croix tourney series 7' 6" med /heavy. What do you guys think?

Deuceu72 Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 I have a G-loomis gl3 and I love it! You would do very well with either G-loomis, or the St. Croix..........another you might look at(this is what Rod I have for my Viento) is the Diawa light and tough series..........They are great rods as well and not quite as expensive..........

jayhawkfishin Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 I think if it were between a gl3 and st. croix tournament rod i would go with the tourament. I have both and think the croix with a viento would look sweet blue blank and blue reel. But a loomis imx and the st. croix tournament, go with the loomis. I don't know what size baits you use most of the time but the 7'6" med/hvy is rated for lures in the 3/8-1 1/4. If you are going to spend that kind of money on a rod just make sure you will be able to use it a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
