Good looking fish!

Thanks guys! I think I will end up opting for a real swimbait rod, would I be able to throw a mattlures soft gills and a big hudd on the 867 or is that just to much of a weight difference? Nice to see another Tulsa guy on here, Would you mind shooting me a friend request on facebook slide action?

Hello all, my name is Blake and I'm from Tulsa OK. I've caught the bass bug again after spending several years focusing on other hobbies and have decided to dive into the swimbait world. I plan to start throwing hard baits in the spring but I think I'm gonna stick to throwing 8 inch hudds this winter. I'm going to be fishing from the bank untill it's warm enough to break out the kayak and I'm planning on focusing on one particular small lake that's known for producing some massive bass. I was wondering if anyone has used the 7'6 bass pro musky rod for throwing hudds? It's fast action and rated for 2-10 oz baits and only 50 dollars, will this likely be a waste of money or a good entry level rod? Can't seem to find much about it. I plan to pair it up with an Abubut5500 or a 300 size cardiff. I've been doing quite a bit of research but would appreciate any advice particularly on winter fishing, thanks guys!
