TheGoodCat Posted September 16, 2015 Report Share Posted September 16, 2015 I've been sipping that Irod kool-aid and I must say it tastes pretty good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigSlant Posted September 17, 2015 Report Share Posted September 17, 2015 I really like my Irod Large Swimbait. Has a ton of backbone and heaves baits. Looks sick, and has a great warranty to boot. I've thrown as small as a 6" hudd and the rod still bombs it. I also like my Dobyns 806 for smaller baits from like 1-6 oz. Great rod for slammer, hudds, and 175. +1 on the irod large swimbait, I love it, also have a custom built phenix on the way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thetoxicjon Posted September 19, 2015 Report Share Posted September 19, 2015 I have the new Seeker SSR 80H very nice rod Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drewski73 Posted September 20, 2015 Report Share Posted September 20, 2015 I have an M1 H and love it. I'm new to swim baiting, but not fishing. For baits under 4 oz it's really nice. I don't think I'd fish up to its 6oz rating very often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ippon_bassin Posted September 20, 2015 Report Share Posted September 20, 2015 phenix are great rods, i have the ultra swimbait classic and its awesome! sensitve, looks great, but a little heavy. i also have a gloomis imx and that rod is dope! its small, very light, and sensitive. when i first saw it i wasn't sure if that was the right rod cause it didn't look like it can handle big bass. the rod works just fine, i throw 10 oz baits with no problem. i would also up the test line if you're going to throw swimbaits, losing them are a heart breaker! just my opinion. good luck!
