Super User FryDog62 Posted September 5 Super User Share Posted September 5 What’s your preferred set up for the typical 3.5 inch (approx 1/2 ounce) scat bait? I think the rod has to be the right action for poop lures. It has to load/cast relatively heavy/compact lures right - but also sensitive enough for bottom contact, detecting slack line bites, etc. Preferred line too?

Super User QUAKEnSHAKE Posted September 6 Super User Share Posted September 6 I'm sure Im 1 of very few not blown away by NRX. It's very sensitive just not like what was expecting. I bought this rod for fat ikas but the rod doesn't load well at all with their weight right around 3/8th so pretty disappointed. Now with the heavier tanukis they load the tip better for better casting. I don't throw jigs at all so no input there. Another use is 1/4 Swimbait Head with 3.8" paddletails works great with those. It's not a great rod for one handed casting either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happybeerbuzz Posted September 6 Share Posted September 6 I throw it on my skipping setup which I am holding try outs for at the moment. For the last 2 trips on the water, it has been a 7'1" Phenix Feather H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim, looking for a dual purpose for the 893… can it handle dragging 1/2 oz football jigs as well or is 3/8 it’s top end? Thx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thx I wouldn't want to put a 1/2 oz jig on it, personally. I think 3/8 is top end for that rod, especially with any cover. I mostly use mine for shaky heads, senkos, and finesse jigs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MontclairDave Posted September 6 Share Posted September 6 I use a spinner for poop baits. This one launches them like you’re surfcasting. Very sensitive and has power to spare to get them out of light to moderate cover: IRod Genesis II (IRG713S) Power Finesse Rod Medium Heavy Fast 3/16-7/16 ounce. 7’ 1. My favorite Senko rod as well. Length:7’1″ Lure weight:3/16-7/16 Line weight:8-16 Power Med. Heavy Action: Fast This is the perfect compliment to the 712S. Its a perfect rod for fishing senkos, jigs, tubes and skipping docks. Length:7’1″ Lure weight:3/16-7/16 Line weight:8-16 Power Med. Heavy Action: Fast 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wanted to clarify, I'm not really recommending this rod. I just thought it'd go with the poop baits, being a TP-1 (toilet paper) and all. I'll see myself out now.. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the head turner if it’s a remarkable one. The eye crosser if it smells as bad as it looks. Big bait rod if it’s been a couple days. super duty if it came out with a cape on In all seriousness, the falcon cara heavy cover jig would be my starting point. 16# sunline of your choice. It’s my standard Texas rig rod for around 1/2 oz total weight. I like the finesse jig for a 3/8 naked senko but at 1/2 oz the HCJ shines. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Puggz Posted September 7 Share Posted September 7 Generally any good pitchin stick will work - as it works with any other large plastic. I use a DX 745 C w/30 lb braid and sometimes a 15# floro leader. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
