    Long time supporter here! Please continue to provide the weights of the rods when you do the testing. Balance point as well. Keep it coming!

      This is exactly why I watched a bunch of their videos. Unbelievable that 500+ dollar rod manufacturers dont state the weights, but their descriptions will claim things like “super light weight”.

    Can’t believe the you guy’s passed over the Dobyns champ 610-C here, I’m not even a Dobyns fan but that model from what I hear is money

      I'll have to respectfully disagree. I just bought one but I don't think it has enough tip. It's a little stiff for my preference and is about to go up for sale

      @@fishncoach8699 Yup you are totally correct. It all depends on what you’re trying to skip. I throw a 1/2oz jig the majority of the time. It’s NOT a weightless senko rod which a lot of people skip

    I have a Shimano Poison Adrena 6-11 Med Plus, 1/4-1oz. A great rod for dock skipping, love the tip and has plenty backbone.

  • @SAC_5151

    The Falcon Cara 6 10” is excellent. Use for spinnerbaits up to 1/2 oz. I skip 1/16, 1/8, 3/16oz shaky heads with 5” senko under docks with 17-20# floor for a different look. Great tip and strong backbone for hook sets and dragging fish out of cover.
    The Cara 7 3” Amistad is heavier, but an awesome skip, flip, frog, and 5/6” swimbait rod, as well.

    Virtus blue diamond or red diamond (prev jewel, I think now collaborating with phenix). Are sweet rods. They have 6’10” H/F and a 6’10” MH/F that are phenomenal. MH is a braid to leader and the H is a my Fluoro rod. I think they are similar to the falcon cara lineup, but it’d be interesting to see how they look on the bend wall.

  • @stevenwilliams3021
    @stevenwilliams3021 Месяц назад

    I think the Eakins may have helped Falcon with that head turner rod 25+ years ago. Think they designed two 6’10” rods to fish the 5/16 and 7/16 Eakins jigs around docks and brush piles. Good all purpose rods.

    I have been a huge fan of the Dobyns Kaden 715 as a slightly cheaper option. Stout rob but it can skip a 3/8 - 1/2oz jig with ease.

    That St Croix is a legend x, extreme is blacked out and a couple hundred bucks more 😉. I have that rod but in a victory and I love it. That Falcon Cara rod really surprised me, my buddy fishes exclusively Falcon....maybe he's onto something. Another great video .

  • @mikedolbee2282
    @mikedolbee2282 Месяц назад

    After owning quite a few St Croixs here are my notes. XF in St Croix basically is fast in Shimano or Daiwa. For moving baits you really don’t need more than the Victory. The best rod I’ve ever owned from them is the 7’3 Legend Bass in ML and M. Those two rods are so versatile for spinning rods.

    Day in and day out, 7’2” Heavy Shimano Expride for skipping a jig. Have two of them that I keep a 3/8 oz jig on one and a 1/2 oz on the other. Going with straight flouro, it can’t be beat. The medium heavy is fantastic spinnerbait, buzz bait any moving bait with braid to a leader.

      @@2AA11Day the standard mh. I haven’t had a chance to play with any of the glass Exprides. I think the standard 7’2 mh Expride is great for any single hook moving bait. I also tried it with a Texas rig and it worked fairly well too as long as your not around any grass

    The Headturner is also available in the expert line as well. Definitely a good tight quarters rod. The expert is just a touch more moderate. Mine checks in at 3.8oz. Somehow manages to work exceptionally well for skipping jigs, walking a popping frog in sparse cover, as well as a nice chatterbait rod if you are one of those guys that like that stiffer rod for a chatterbait.

    How does the Daiwa Tatula Elite 6’9 TTEL691HFB compare to these? I saw an older video featuring that rod, but nothing about the weight of the rod was noted in the video. I’m just looking for a rod within the 200 price point to skip into culverts for snakeheads in south FL. Would the heavy action still be necessary? Or could I get a rod with Medium and Mod-Fast?
