NO, it wasn't a "bad choice", I just like my MCs for Senkos. I have that rod(MH) too and I use it for jigs, swimbaits, and C-rigging.

sd: The 5" Senkos(that I use) are dense and therefore, pretty 'heavy'. Just give them a try on your new rod and let us know. I'll bet you'll be able to 'slang' it as far as you want to?

Yeah I should get the rod Tuesday which is my birthday so I will get to test it out either that day or the Wednesday and I will give a full report.

Thank you, don't i get a free rod for my birthday?

Oh yeah a wonderful Kmart special, now is that the top of the line model?

I've been using a 70MC for a couple of years now with a TDZ 103 and love it for senkos. Nothing pitches, flips, and skips like the TDZ. For flukes I've been using a 60MC, first with a Scorpion, and now with a Scorpion MG. I usually use a lightly weighted hook with a fluke (like 1/32 oz). I like the shorter rod for fishing around cover, but a 70MC would work great also.

I agree you now need to order the Helium 7'6" flipping stick (HE76HC). The rod is so light, so sensitive, and a joy to fish with. Although it is rated for 1/2 oz at the low end of its range, I can pitch 3/16 jigs easily with it. The first time I used this rod, I did not notice the extra six inches in length as compared to my 7' Heliums....It felt like an extension of my arm.

Another positive attritube is that it is a one piece rod...not a telescopic version.

I hope to order another one in the next week for my next BFL tournament.

This rod is a MUST for your arsenal of Helium rods.

Oh it is definately my next victim. Or maybe I am its next victim.
So much tackle, so little money, hehehehe

Thanks for the compliment. I believe in Kistler rods and I am always willing to discuss their rods with others...
