Well looks like mh/f means your probably don’t want a rod with a lot of parabolic bend. But if I’m mistaken then a great rod to look into is the MillerRods DreamFreak 710xh, great load up and launches a bait like the sly 9” a mile.

If your budget is 600$ I would have someone build you a rod. Plenty of great builders out there. I fished nothing but gloomis and phenix swimmer rods for years and years and finally ordered one built and after fishing it since the start of the year I would doubt I would buy another production rod. Check out palehorse customs he does great work and is awesome to work with especially if it’s your first time going through the process like it was mine last time he is currently building my second rod to match the one he built before

I have a 965c paired with a Calcutta Conquest 401 and love the set up for baits up to ~3.5 ounces - for my style of casting 4 ozs. Seems to be the limit on this rod. It launched TK’s and baits in that weight class for me - very parabolic - awesome rod for treble bait hooks. 

Any baits that I have over 3.5 ounces I throw on my dobyns 867.
