Fishing Rods

Well I am getting another Helium. I decided to get the 7' MC and I am going to buy two Team Daiwa Z reels Now as long as the wife doesn't find out......uh oh here she comes

I think that's your first Medium isn't it? You're gonna love it. I use mine for all my treble-hook baits(except swimbaits which are on my 7', 6" Heavy or Extra Heavy Helium), spinnerbaits, Senkos, Porkos/Sleekys, and recently, pitchin' a 1/2 oz jig.

I know you'll let everyone know your impressions when you get a chance to use them .

Yeah it is my first medium. I have the 7' Mh right now and I love it..I am sure I will like the medium jsut as good if not better.

thats funny you should mention that cal i have just bought a 7'MC also it is so sweet especially with my diawa fuego on it.
MAN I LOVE THOSE HELIUMS

Dan,

Are you saying your pitching a Jig with a Medium power rod? I don't get it? I'm all prepared to buy an AH for my pitching purposes.

What else do you think I could use XH or just Heavy for?

What are the advantages to Mediums for spinnerbaits? Do you think I should also buzz with a Medium rod? What about the Horny Toads?

Just looking for some advice... maybe if I'm going to cover a lot more ground with the Medium, I'll buy that first and hold off on the flipping and pitching...

z: Buzzin' a Vision's Honeybuzz buzzbait was the technique I used to catch my first Medium Helium Bass on.

Yes, a Medium Helium is great for spinnerbait Bass and here's another s/b Bass. The "advantages" are that I feel the blades turning and, I feel the 'light bite' I sometimes get on s/bs' but especially on cr/baits/Rogues.

I use the Medium Helium for HTs and Speed Worms too. I just started using it for pitchin' a 1/2 oz jig but the jig-bite's been non-existant lately for me so I havn't caught one with it yet. I don't see why it wouldn't work??? Now, the HC and the EHC's are the traditional pitchin/flippin/ rods but i thought I'd try something 'new'(to me anyway).

To sum it up; I have 4 Mediums, 1 HC, and 1 EHC. I plan to get 2 more Heliums and they will be the HE70MCs(Medium Caster) as I firmly believe that that action Helium is the most versatile rod for me. If you don't have a MC, I'd recommend getting at least one. If you need a 'pure' pitchin' rod, then I'd get a 7', 6" HC(Heavy) Helium. I use the EHC mostly for throwing heavy, swimbaits and also as a pitchin' rod but I prefer the HC over the EHC for pitchin'. Both are a little heavier than the MCs and I prefer to go "as light as possible" when Bassin'.

Thank you Cal. I hadn't noticed the 7', 6" Medium Caster. Hmmmmmmm ---that just might be my next Helium!
