So I broke down and bought a swimbait rod.   I figure that the lures are similar to muskie lures so I bought a GLoomis Muskie rod MUR914CX-MB.  It's IMX graphite and fairly light compared to other broomstick rods that are on the market.  I've paired it up with a Shimano Calcutta TE 300.  

This one makes me drool all over for swimbaiting:

I saw that Raul!  You get one first and let me know what you think.

Oh man, I wish they sold that as a blank.... I would have one.

I just bought an Okuma for swimbaits, and will let you know what I think of it whenever I get to fish with it.

Good luck. SB is very possesive.

I did this, Powell Max for the big lure and Okuma MH 7.6 for the small ones. I have no one complain. Crucial was my second option but I have it and I sent it back b/c of the weight.

My Cardiff superturbo does the  job right!!!!!!TD-Z BB for the Okuma so.
