Hbnel5on Posted November 24, 2015 Report Share Posted November 24, 2015 I just got in their 765 swimbait Rod in a trade. It doesn't seem very heavy.. Has anyone used this? Thinking it may be good for smaller hard baits and line throughs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SD032 Posted November 24, 2015 Report Share Posted November 24, 2015 Awesome rod for swimbaits, wakes, and my person fav; 1oz spinnerbaits for salt bass. The Negotiator is the heaviest bait I throw on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CCMD Posted December 1, 2015 Report Share Posted December 1, 2015 If you're talking about the Inferno series 765 utility rod, it's a really great rod for the smaller stuff. I have one and love it. I throw heavy spinnerbaits, line throughs, heavy underspins and smaller swimbaits like the jackall mikey, mini slammer, S waver 168s, etc. It's very versatile, with just enough parabolic bend to make you comfortable throwing trebles but enough backbone that you can throw jig hooks/line through as well. It hits that utility sweet spot pretty darn well. I caught smallies and pike on a recent trip with the rod throwing both jig hook and treble baits. Rod does will from about 1/2 oz up to about 2 1/2 oz. Once you get up to 3 oz it starts to get a little unruly. Anything 3 oz or more I throw on my Phenix M1 heavy rod (Deps 175, TTs ,etc.). You could probably throw most bluegill glides on it (Gillroid, Chibitarel, Esflat, etc.), but I'll usually throw those on my heavy rod as well. I've got mine paired up with a Daiwa Tatula HD 200, and it's a sweet combo. Highly recommend. SD032 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
