I've been gearing up for lake guntersville in april and I just now relize I have no H rod. ;). Do you think my 7mh airrus co-matrix can get the job done in the milfoil?

I'm shop around for a 7'6 H maybe just a 7'H. I mean the extreme is on sale right now, but I dont have money right now because I just ordered a combo and didnt relize I needed a flipping stick more. :o

Maybe I should just get a cheap 40.00 BPS that'll get me through for a year or two then upgrade. I mean I plan go to college so it hard to stretch the budget.

You don't have to buy another rod, your MH will be just fine.

I asked dad about it and he replied "it aint the rod it the fisherman controlling it." I mean bottom of airrus co-matrix pretty strong, but the tip is really flexiable. So I was just a tad bit concern I might not be able get a monster out of the milfoil. I guess if I play it right I'll be fine.

Airrus rods action are like that of Carrot Stix. So they are stiffer than you would think. A medium heavy action on an Airrus is like a Heavy action Croix or Loomis imo.

A) to pull a monster out, you gotta hook a monster

;) I have a medium action rod that i use for topwater frogs and poppers over the milfoil and hydrilla all summer long, and you will be fine. I fish there once or twice a week all summer. PLUS, depending on when you decide to come, the grass doesnt even mat up until late may. IMO, the fishing is best when it is about 1 foot under the surface. Great topwater action.

I'll trust your opinion on this.

buzzbait should be hot at that point. dont forget your rat-l-traps and lipless cranks too. Chances are, if you find grass, you find fish. You need any advice, shoot me a PM. I know that place like the back of my hand. Where are you going to be putting in/staying?

Well, IMO a Croix MH is equivalent to a Loomis H, so take from that what you will.
