[MCTFisher9120]

Hey, fineally got my baitcast combo. 7" medium heavy combo. Tell me ideas for it's use. What techniques would u use with it, maybe baits. Help me out a bit please

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.

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.

Perfect Spinnerbait rod!

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!

I'd use it for larger fish in heavy cover... or Bluegills, I catch BIG Bluegills.

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.

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.

lol nice fish, well see how my softeraction rod works out this summer. Best of luck to you.
