Abberz Posted May 7, 2008 Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 Spinnerbaits, jig and pigs, weighted soft plastics. I just put a similar combo together yesterday.....Quantum PT Tour ed. with a PT rod....can't wait for bass to open! You will enjoy it.....it's a versitile combo.

GbayGiant Posted May 7, 2008 Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 Well look at the rod and use the recommended weight of lure probably 1/2-1oz, and after that I'd say bass or pike fishing. Heavier jigs, spinnerbaits, big spoons, big crank baits, basically whatever you want in that weight range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben_Daniels Posted May 8, 2008 Report Share Posted May 8, 2008 Perfect Spinnerbait rod! -Ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garry2Rs Posted May 8, 2008 Report Share Posted May 8, 2008 As other have said, this is a great all around rod. Traditionally Bass baits weight about 3/8 of an ounce, which is right in the middle of most MH rods range. That is not a coincidence. It will handle most Spinnerbaits, Crankbaits, Swimbaits, Jerk baits, Glide baits, Spoons, Frogs & Rats, Texas and Carolina Rigs, Tubes, and small Bucktails. In a pinch, at 7 feet, it will handle Jig&Pig, almost as well as a Flipping Stick. Match the weight of the lures to the rod and go fishing!

Greencoachdog Posted May 8, 2008 Report Share Posted May 8, 2008 I'd use it for larger fish in heavy cover... or Bluegills, I catch BIG Bluegills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCTFisher9120 Posted May 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2008 Thanks for the tips. Im not to sure on using crankbaits on it...i like a softer action rod, but jerkbaits for sure aswell as the other lures you guys mentioned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garry2Rs Posted May 8, 2008 Report Share Posted May 8, 2008 Yeah I heard all that soft action gives you a better presentation stuff too, but I only lost two big Bass while I was in Arizona this past winter. Both were lost off of lipless cranks on a beautiful G.Loomis Crankbait rod... My seven foot MH Shimano Crucial stuck them so they stayed stuck! Now, those fish might have been coming off anyway, but I feel like I get better hook sets with the stiffer rod. You do what you think is best, and I'll do the same...Grin.
