So I need help. I found this site thru a friend and wow, a lot of good information. I just got some deps 250s for my bday. I'm on a budget so I purchased a daiwa DX swimbait rod in XH. It is rated up to 10oz. I am using a shimano Calcutta 200d reel. When I tied on the Deps, the Rod felt good but I'm not use to it and I have yet to take it to the lake to try to cast it out. Has anybody used this Rod before with baits of this size? Will it be able to handle the weight? I'm just not use to using big baits like 250s or 8" hudds. Thanks.
