Slosti Posted February 25, 2017 Report Share Posted February 25, 2017 Hey guys. I'm looking for good all around swimbait setup. This will be my first and probaly only dedicated swimbait combo for a while. I'm interested in the Muse Black rod in the 8'6" length. Heavy power. I like the 8'6" due to fishing primarily from the bank. My question is, how well would this rod perform with a lighter lure such as a 6" Hudd. I'll also want to throw bigger baits but would also like to be able to throw smaller stuff and needed. Any input will be appreciated. Thanks in advance. Sorry if this is in the wrong section.

ZanethePain Posted April 3, 2017 Report Share Posted April 3, 2017 From what I've heard about this rod, 4-8 ounce baits may be its sweet spot but I've heard it will throw baits down to 2 ounces well, I'm also considering this rod because of its versatility.

KeepinItReelFishing Posted April 3, 2017 Report Share Posted April 3, 2017 I can't speak for the 8'6", but the 8' model 'H' power will not load adequately on a 6" Hudd. These are extra stout, true fast action rods that don't load deep. More so than any other rod I have the rating needs to be followed. Additionally I feel due to their characteristics they are almost exclusively suited for jig hook style lures...not treble hooked lures.
