  1. I've got a white label 7'9" MH that I love, works perfect for 68's, trash fish and negotiator, stuff in the <4oz range is perfect. I also have 8'6" xxh that I'm using for the beast glide and battles trout stuff like that. Hadn't put in a bunch of time with it yet so I don't have much info other than it handles the 9oz baits just fine

  2. If having a shorter and storable rod is the goal there's a company called Sakura that makes 7'4" 2 piece rods in the heavy-xheavy range I got one on eBay and it has a decently long handle that makes casting easy and they aren't too expensive $150ish if I remember right. They aren't the perfect choice but they are convenient. I believe it's the Sakura Sportism Neo in 7'4"XH

  3. I've never seen it on TW but if you can find it in a color called Arari it's really good. It's got flashy scales, red fins and a chartreuse highlight on the throat. It throws a lot of flash on a sunny day. Party crasher is another good basic color

  4. My first time was throwing a Buckley colored osprey tournament talon line through on Toledo Bend. I had no idea what I was doing and I saw a treble hook came with the bait so I thought treble hook=cranking rod. I set it up on a 7'2" medium heavy moderate crucial cranking rod with 15lb seaguar. I brought that set up with me and after a slow morning I decided "what the hell, it looks cool so I'll throw it" after a few casts I caught a 2.5 then later caught a 4+ on it but what got me hooked was I watched multiple 5-6+lb fish follow it all the way to the boat and eat it. I'd set the hook and play them for a couple seconds then they would come off because I was using such a soft rod. A few years and $1000's later I'm still throwing swimbaits and I still have the original Buckley osprey
