Yeah but I'm 46 ;D and been around awhile

How did you hear of this?  Only a select few of us are supposed to know that word even exists.

Should have googled it first rather then bother all of you.

Primarily used for Atlantic Salmon

I really don't know what it means. All of the mooching rods I've seen were really long...like 10 ft. so I guess it's just a really long rod.

Here is a simple explanation of MOOCHING

PPSSSTTTT! Hey fella you got an extra cigarette?

Burley Thats great. Except when I mention that ex member another current member gets upset, I get deleted and spanked; WHATS UP WITH THAT

Your saltwater equivalent of a drop shot rig. Bigger weight, line, hook and instead of a plastic slap on an anchovie, dead or alive.

Thanks Muddy! I'm still up in the air on a swimbait rod for 1 to 3 oz or so and saw Gloomis had a Mooching rod listed rated for 1 to 5oz and was wondering what Mooching was.

Thanks for the info gent's!

Why don't you ask Fish Chris or 4 Bizzle they do a lot of Swim Bait fishing

Thanks again Muddy, I just posted a new thread in regards to the Diawa Tough & Light swimbait rods. Hopefully they will have some input. Again very much appreciated!
