Andrewwang1769 Posted January 6, 2018 Report Share Posted January 6, 2018 I'm planning to get a Negotiator soon and want to know what rod would be best. I have a 795 right now but would an 806 work better? I also plan to use this rod for 8 inch hudds and maybe a baitsmith Magnum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick S. Posted January 6, 2018 Report Share Posted January 6, 2018 The 795 is good for the Neg. The 807 would probably be a better choice for Hudds and Mags. The 806 will work but it’s a little slower than most people like for jig hook baits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JR Basser Posted January 6, 2018 Report Share Posted January 6, 2018 ^^^ I agree w Nick, Two completely different applications, and the same rod wouldn't do both correctly imo. I prefer my negs and other comparable weighted glides on a 4 or 5 pwr, with more of a parabolic taper,, whereas my hudds and large softies on more of a rigid 6 or even 7 pwr., especially if I'm working a hudd near bottom or where feel for structure is important. waynem, basskickinrednick and SpaceGhost 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Top Ramen Posted January 6, 2018 Report Share Posted January 6, 2018 I throw Negotiators on a 795 and it works great for them. YELOSUB 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YELOSUB Posted January 7, 2018 Report Share Posted January 7, 2018 Another vote for the 795! Perfect rod for the Negotiator... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
