Hello all,
I love wacky senkos, I use them a lot during this particular time on year in my favorite lake. I have tried several rods and no one seems to be the "ideal rod". A while ago I was given a Berkley tactix which was actually very close to the ideal action for this type of fishing (6'6'' M-F, 1/4-3/4)... obviously the quality and sensitivity was far from any kistler. That rod was actually stiffer than expected for a M rod.
I have tried the Mg senko special (too stiff), the Graphite plus crankbait (toooo soft) and actually have a 2008 6'6'' M-F Helium LTA (also a bit too soft).
I am looking for a rod solely for this technique so I don't really care about versatility. For wacky fishing I use 10-lb mono line and unweighted 5-in senkos (I also use 6 & 7-inch but for that I use a 2009 LTX 6'6'' MH-excellent!). The reel is a curado 200e5.
Does anyone know what would be the appropiate rod in 6'9'' or shorther length? I was looking around and perhaps the Mg All Purpose Special would fill the bill... not too stiff but not too soft (action-wise, something in between the Helium 6'6''M and the LTX 6'6''MH)...
Thanks,
