Super User FryDog62 Posted September 7 Author Super User Share Posted September 7 I decided to order a GLX MBR 843c. Versatile rod and should do other things pretty well too. I need that going from 20+ rods in my bass boat to 8 now in a kayak. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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? 100%. I use the P5 FMJ. reel is a Bantam, loaded with 14lb sniper. the casting distance and accuracy is nuts. I fished it on the Delta and I would keep my kayak way back and fling it towards cover. far casts, so the fish don't see me. I was killing them. the aggressive "THUMP" and I could jam the 5/0 hook home with a hook-set worthy of a YouTube vid. so fun. my friend, "Hey give me one of those baits.." my friend earlier."what kind of ridiculous bait is that?!!!"

Had almost this exact experience… Bought a pack when they were first released kind of thinking it was more gimmick than anything. Showed a couple different guys that fished in my boat, they laughed, but we never used it. Then one day after a couple of slow hours on the water, I tied one on and cast it a country mile onto a known gravel/chunk rock point. Watched the line slowly sink for about 5 seconds - then THUMP - the line went tight and reeled in a 20 incher. First cast!! My friend who had scoffed at the bait was like - “No you didn’t, that “*%#^” doesn’t work!” Reeled it in and showed him what was down the fishes gullet and he couldn’t believe it. Told him I’d sell one turd to him for $20, he had some choice words for me.. 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My sierra is a 5 power and feels like most mh rods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’re right - it shows the variance in weight ratings between rod manufacturers - where Dobyns says a 5 power and Loomis says 3, and the rest of the industry it’s a 4. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got a old school 6' 0 S--- Stik out in my shed. Medium casting, 8-20lb line that will work great for it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it, since the industry started this technique specific labeling it has totally confused a whole bunch of fishermen.. totally unnecessary in my opinion. I mean I’m the guy that threw 1/2 oz rattletraps on a 6’6” heavy fast Lews laser speed stick and it was never ever a problem for me but according to the rod manufacturers 🤦 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are some techniques that are best done with certain rods, but most of today's rods are a lot more versatile than many give credit for. Just get a rod that feels good and go fishing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really don't think with dragging that an 1/8th of an ounce is going even be noticeable. I'm trying to be polite, but this whole this is incredible.

No difference between fishing T-rigged worms, creatures or silly named soft plastics regarding the rod. Agree! Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fish Arrow Heavy Poop is a good one at 5/8 oz. The Deps Cover Scat is another at 7/16 oz. And they are dead weight lures, a unique chunk to match to rod power. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
