Swim Bait Rod Choice

I realize that i mis-read the OP's post.

If he is looking for a rod to throw smaller swimbaits on lighter swimbait heads i.e. 1/2oz then a good all around rod would be something like a spinnerbait specific rod that has a light tip, a bit of flex but plenty of backbone for big hooksets at distance. longer rod is great for casting distance, while also providing you more space for hooksets when youve bombed a cast out deep.

Great points, I throw that size of swimbaits with a Daiwa TAEL741MHRB, it's 7'4" so lots of length to get nice long casts, medium heavy power and regular action. Great spinnerbait rod but works well for swimbaits also!
