Rdoerfler Posted October 27, 2021 Report Share Posted October 27, 2021 Looking to buy a rod for treble hook swimbaits that weigh from 2-6 oz. Preferably something under 200. Thanks SU Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jdcampbell Posted October 27, 2021 Report Share Posted October 27, 2021 Looking for suggestions or looking to buy. If wanting to buy, I would post this on the Black Market. as far as a good 2-6oz bait rod... that’s kinda a tough/ big range. Most my stuff I throw that is 2-3.5oz is perfect for a certain rod but 6oz on that rod is not ideal at all. If you’re wanting to be under or rite at $200, you might look into buying 2 cheaper rods (Daiwa DX...). I’d also say the Fury line by Dobyns but I don’t feel they have a good 5-6oz rod. The 2 I will have most on the boat for my typical 2-3.5oz baits is my Dobyns 796 and for my 4-6.5oz baits is my Dobyns 867. Not a Dobyns fan boy but they just seem to be everything I want in a glide bait rod, without spending too, too much. I have different rods for soft jig hook and line thru’s.

I know the Dobyns line of rods is really good but I already have a fury so I wanted to see some other options, but I’ll probably end up getting a 795 because of all the positive reviews it has.

Jdcampbell Posted October 27, 2021 Report Share Posted October 27, 2021 Would highly suggest the 796 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloodkitty Posted October 30, 2021 Report Share Posted October 30, 2021 (edited) Okuma GSA 7'11" Heavy is a good one for that 1-4 oz treble range. Edited October 30, 2021 by Bloodkitty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BassinMass978 Posted November 8, 2021 Report Share Posted November 8, 2021 Leviathan MH - 1-4oz leviathan H - 1-6oz. I have an XH and 6oz is the sweet spot. their weight ratings are pretty much spot on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jp_midwest Posted November 8, 2021 Report Share Posted November 8, 2021 i have a st croix mojo bass 1-4 ounce swimbait/Arig rod i think it is perfect for 2-2 3/4 ounce baits i love throwing my JC 178 on it seems so stiff but you catch a fish and it loads up a bit not to much not to little i think its just right. it will throw 3 ounce baits jut fine nothing that is 4 oz on it. also it has perfect power for a soft bait.
