swimbaits_only Posted October 30, 2014 Report Share Posted October 30, 2014 I have a irod jumbo swimbait rod and I love it. Super light and tones of back bone. Easily throws the smaller baits like baby wakes and 175s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylor951 Posted October 30, 2014 Report Share Posted October 30, 2014 I used my jr swim for swimjigs 3/4 oz and my 175s and Judd 68s... My irod "largeswim" I throw 8 huds up to SS250s love both rods Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christophe55 Posted October 31, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2014 Thank you, and you throw 3 oz easily with the largeswim ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bmoney Posted November 2, 2014 Report Share Posted November 2, 2014 Swimbait Jr. throws up to 4oz, Swimbait Large 4-10oz. The large is perfect for baits under 7oz in my opinion. The Jr is perfect for 68s, Swavers, 6inch wood punkers, even 8s in a pinch. Just follow the rods rating for the most part, they rate them for a reason u know.

Christophe55 Posted November 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2014 Please, i want to know if the guide are micro or not. I dont understand: "Each rod also comes equipped with quality Pac Bay Minima Guides with super hard zirconia inserts" Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bmoney Posted November 9, 2014 Report Share Posted November 9, 2014 Last time I talked to Matt he said they have somewhat recently changed out all the guides. Don't quote me but I think they went to Fuji guides. Im not a home to go take a look and suffer serious memory loss from my teens and 20's but from what I can remember I think they are a happy medium between true micro guides and standard. I think the last 3 or 4 guides are seated very close with out a double standoff foot. Mine fishes very well with 25lb floro or mono and 65lb braid works great too. I've never had a problem with my modified Albright knot going through either. Best bet is call Matt Newman at Irod, u can find the contact info on their webpage. Its been my experience with him that he is as a stand up of a guy as u will meet, customer service is amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would be surprised how many rod ratings are exaggerated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bmoney Posted November 9, 2014 Report Share Posted November 9, 2014 agreed, that's why I said 7oz is absolute tops for the swimbait large. Another prime example and a mistake a made many years ago was thinking I could get away with effectively fishing a 8inch hudd on a 795 MLSB rated for 5 oz. Long cast, mono stretch, no ass, equals horrible hooksets when I was getting bit the first 1/3 or more of my cast. Lesson learned the hard way. Typically each rod has a sweet spot in the rating where it really preforms best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Az_urban_swimbaiter Posted November 9, 2014 Report Share Posted November 9, 2014 Great rod for the price . But handle could be longer but not bad . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samrussell7 Posted November 10, 2014 Report Share Posted November 10, 2014 love the Jr. for 6 inch hudds and 6 inch punkers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Athao Posted November 11, 2014 Report Share Posted November 11, 2014 Get the large irod, yes they are micro guides... Super light rods Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christophe55 Posted December 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2014 I received my rod I took the large swimbait Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnMarino Posted December 17, 2014 Report Share Posted December 17, 2014 The JR Swimbait rod is a awesome rod... Baby wakes, Hudd 68s, A-Rigs, Matt lures hardgills, Real Prey Gills etc. etc etc.... The Large swimbait rod is very versitile Its the perfect hudd rod IMHO, It loads up and casts a hudd a mile away. Its REALLY Awesome for throwing 10" Triple trouts, hudds, 10" real preys and deps 250s etc. on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
