Jim Bubis Posted August 21, 2007 Report Share Posted August 21, 2007 Just wondering what rod would be more suited to 4" & 5" Senkos / Yum Dingers. My options are a 6'6" MF or a 6'8" MXF. Thanks for your input. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianA Posted August 21, 2007 Report Share Posted August 21, 2007 Jimbo- With those options - I like the MXF action rod. gives up nothing in feel and when you put the hammer down w/ those plastics you're bound to get better hook ups. With smaller, more petite baits, I opt for a MF action. I tend to set the hook hard and the Med-fast or even moderate action gives me that cushion. That's more suited for 3-4 inch grubs and smaller craws. Good luck - keep a tight line my friend! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for your input. Jim, When open water fishing, ie free of weeds or wood, my choice is the 68MXF. A 6-6 to 7ft MHF for fishing heavy cover areas, such as in and around weeds and wood. The MH (Med Heavy) action more suitable to muscle those fish out of heavy cover. The "MX" has a "softer" tip section. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim J Posted August 22, 2007 Report Share Posted August 22, 2007 If he's throwing 4" Senko's I would guess a "slightly" softer tip meaning the MF. A stiffer tip for throwing plastics? The MF still as plenty of stiffness. Of course this is all personal opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonn Graham Posted August 22, 2007 Report Share Posted August 22, 2007 I have both and would definitely vote for the Medium-extra fast. IMHO, the 6'3" medium, extra fast Avid spinning rod is the best all around spinning rod ever produced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kend Posted August 23, 2007 Report Share Posted August 23, 2007 Some anglers make casts by "loading the rod", when casting. Other casters make "lob" casts---they're using their entire arm, like swinging a sledge hammer, when splitting logs or busting rocks.

Jim Bubis Posted August 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2007 I'm one of those who load the rod. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
