Small Swimbait Rod?

[Kistler1]

I am curious about which rod you throw your small swimbaits with or what design you think is perfect for throwing small swimbaits with? Also, what is your favorite small swimbait?

Clifford,
I have been throwing my Basstrix on 2 different rods. I have thrown them on my LTX Flipping Stick when I am long casting to cover open water. This rod might be too stiff for me. I have started to throw small swimbaits on my Helium LTA 7ft Med/hvy. This allows me to have a bit more "give" when the fish first hits the bait. I feel that I have missed more fish when the rod was stiffer. If you need some Basstrix, let me know.

ciao clifford,
hope we can talk about this in person soon.....

personally i throw small swimbaits such as DEPS highsider jr or silentkiller WITH the 7'3" frog & slope which is great or even gplus 6'9" SPINNERBAIT ROD which is amazing too.....

the european champion ALESSANDRO VILLARY from italy, cast same small swimbaits on the 6'10" magnesium chatterbait....he absolutely love this rod for this job.

i think we need a small swimbait rod in the line, casting up to 1,5 oz with same action of the frog & slope

cheers

I throw a lot of swimbaits at my home lake (DVL) in Southern California and have tried a few combos this past season. For small, but heavy weighted baits like the Triple Trout, L.A. Slider or the Reaction Strike Bass Harasser I use the Graphite Plus swimbait rod (KBSBS80). For small baits like the Basstrix or Mikey I use the Mag TS Magnum Worm/Swimbait rod (MgMWCRH70). For really light baits like the small Castaic snap on baits I use the LTA He76MHC. Trust me, I’ve tried a bunch of swimbait combo’s, and these seem to work best for the listed baits. Good luck!
