BullyBee Posted September 9, 2022 Report Share Posted September 9, 2022 Lol I know I’m asking a lot, bit are there any rods that can throw a 3/8oz lure and a 3 oz lure. I do know that the GLOOMIS IMX pro 904c swimbait can do 1/2-3oz. This is for fishing pike btw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassmann86 Posted September 9, 2022 Report Share Posted September 9, 2022 Irod Kaimana Coastal 794. Can toss a 3/8 dark sleeper all the way up to a 6” ufo wake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mconn11 Posted September 9, 2022 Report Share Posted September 9, 2022 Bit of a cheat, but the Megabass Triza Dragoon comes with 2 tips and covers that entire range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jp_midwest Posted September 9, 2022 Report Share Posted September 9, 2022 i looked for a rod like that and from what i heard it would be the irod kaimana coastal 794 poes mag stick and if you really are fien with spendidn money for one do it on TW they have one in stock and they have been hard to find recently.

Cristo Posted September 9, 2022 Report Share Posted September 9, 2022 I never threw a UFO I'm assuming you're throwing a 6-in which probably comes in about two two and a half ounces if that's the case I would look at Rod's from Megabass As stated previously the Dragoon is a very capable stick that may suit your needs. The largest I throw on the Dragoon is 2.5oz. There are better sticks of course but it all depends on how much coin you're going to throw into it as there's other brands that have similar specs that will be quite a bit cheaper than what a megabass stick will cost you, for instance IRoD has the Jr. SB stick last I remember and a few others as well. Another note is is it going to be used for soft Plastics if it's going to be used for mainly a treble hook Rod then sensitivity may not be an issue.

Jinxd12 Posted September 9, 2022 Report Share Posted September 9, 2022 Phoenix X-13 i have does 1/2-3oz. Never hit the upper oz range with it but for the pice it's a solid built rod. ROBERTR 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mkel83 Posted September 9, 2022 Report Share Posted September 9, 2022 I have a Megabass Valkyrie 6’6”. I throw TiKs on it, 3oz glides and a couple weeks ago I threw a frog on it. Launches them all. Rates up to 5oz but I think 3.5oz would be my max. Most versatile rod I’ve ever owned.

The triza dragoon is a very neat stick and has caught my attention many times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bsampson Posted September 9, 2022 Report Share Posted September 9, 2022 I love throwing my Nameless 786. below 1oz can be a hair light for it. But it does a great job from that 1-4oz range Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've pushed Rod limits beyond their lure weight range quite a bit but I can tell you the Dragoon would not like 3 oz even with this swimbait tip attached in my humble opinion of course, but 2-2.5oz is the limit for trebz in my hands.

Cristo Posted September 9, 2022 Report Share Posted September 9, 2022 I gave up on the Black Jack just because it wasn't an offset handle but you might want to look into that rod that's a sweet Rod one of the best from Megabass IMHO except for the slight minus for me not being a offset handle(for me anyway). Most of my rods now are offset Handle or multi-piece specimens as I like to tote them around when I go on vacations Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would also throw in the white python in any generation although I think 3 oz is a bit too much for that Rod too at least in my hands Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m like you giving up on the blackjack but I wanted a little bit more parabolic rod so I went with a leviathan omega H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve tossed 3/8 under spins with 4” swims in the bay all the way up to A-rigs in the 3oz range on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
