Best Rod Length And Action For Shadlicious Swimbait

Featured Replies

This past fall I had extreme success using the Strike King shadlicious swimbait, I was using it on my frog rod but I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions to a good baitcasting rod length and action for using these swimbaits with a weighted hook..thank you

Depends on how big a Shadalicious you're throwing. I think a standard 7' MH/F rod would be fine for the 4.5", but you would likely want to step up to a 7' H/F for the 5.5" and 6.5"

I use the same rod that I use for swim jigs, and spinnerbaits, a 7' MH/fast.

I toss those on my standard BPS MH 6'6" baitcasting rod. Nothing fancy, but she'll do to ride the river.

I like the 4.5in size and use a 7' MH/F St. Croix Triumph.

Yep agree with the above posts. 7' MH/ Fast is what I toss mine with. I think hooks and reel speed affect the action on these more than anything.
