Love the blank, hate the handle for a TK. I don't need something that tucks under my armpit for a little 2oz bait. @PKNNH Yup - i've gone thru about three customs so far and just haven't been able to find the right blank/handle combo that I like. Tried a bunch of the NFCs, havent found the right one. Also had a Phenix blank that was nice but just way too heavy. More like a salmon rod almost lol what about the leviathan finnesse swimbait rod the handle is 15 and a quarter inches long from butt to trigger. captainhookset 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UmairF Posted March 11 Report Share Posted March 11 How about the Dobyns champ XP 794.5 AR rod? Just picked one up rating is between 1-4 oz. Listed as an A-Rog rod but super comfortable to handle and it’s that perfect in-between between the 794 and 795. Loads up great too for those treble hooks baits. Sweet spot for me is that 2-2.5 oz but it fishes up to 3oz comfortably. Umair Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rating is 1/4-2oz so the tiny is at the top of the rating but it is a super light and stealthy TiK rod paired with a curado 150dc. Base of the reel seat to the end of the rod is 10-3/4” Does it ever feel overloaded? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only use that setup when I am doing short roll cast and pitches into heavy cover. If I am fishing long cast over weed beds, flats or whatever I use a different setup. You can still do that with the feather but it excels in those tighter situations. Efrain 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to hear about the feather tho, thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
City17Banner Posted March 25 Report Share Posted March 25 Gan Craft Killers-00 KG-00 6-710EXH Dead Sword is the perfect short TK and GC Jointed Claw 178 rod since that's what it was designed to present! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
