I have the 7-4 mhmf. Awesome chatterbait/square bill rod. Fya hundred dollars it's the best around in my opinion

[@NeutralBruu]

You got a deal. I got that same exact rod and specs for almost 150$ i have a few different St Croix rods, i love em. Awesome deal on that!

Great review bro I have heard those are some great rods

[@darkreelaction]

Thank you. Yes very good sturdy rods for $100 price range

[@familybudgetfisherman]

Great video. getting a $120 rod for less than $100 is super cool. Now that the new models are available for sale (and you can also find under $100 deals), are you considering investing in that new BassX model?

[@darkreelaction]

I actually haven't seen the new models yet but as soon as I do I'll probably grab one to see what they are about! :)

[@StormRidersFishing]

Wondering if anyone uses the Bass X 7’4” for A-rigs? I usually use lighter a-rigs, with three 1/8 jig heads. I picked up a BassX today and really like the feel.

[@darkreelaction]

Is this the 7-4 heavy or MH? Either way that sounds like money!!

Thank you Luke!!

Cool vid. I have the same rod for spinning. 7'1 MHF. What baits pair well with that rod the most?

[@darkreelaction]

I really enjoy throwing my texas rigs and my shakey heads on this rod. Super light and good backbone. Good sensitive tip as well so you can fill the slightest bite.

[@NorthWoodsWes]

@@darkreelaction Ah cool. Would you say this rod is more for lighter baits? Or is it meant for topwater too or bladed jigs as well?

[@darkreelaction]

You could throw bladed baits and stuff I just wouldn't throw anything thats over a 3 quarters ounce on it but small jigs and chatterbaits would work pretty well with this rod as well. Topwater as well just nothing to heavy

[@olemanhiggins2]

What does it mean when the rod is Tip Heavy?

[@darkreelaction]

Possibly a heavy rod or a med heavy rod, it might say at the base of the rod

blue bass x with a slx ,, ment to be combo for sure..

[@badmoonrising209]

Nice

A fast action gets to the meat of the rod quicker not slower compared to a mod fast. So what you’re describing as mod fast is what a fast rod should be.
