Rated 5 out of 5Â by SproMan Best Medium Heavy Rod
This Abu Garcia Medium Heavy 7'6" with a fast action tip is the best rod I've ever thrown a topwater, hollow body frog with. I have also thrown a spinner bait and a crank bait with braid on it, and it is an experience like no other. Best Rod ever. I can't wait to go to Toledo Bend next year and drag some carolina rigs with it!!

Rated 5 out of 5 Great for square bills
Been fishing this rod for a month now on weekends, throwing square bill crank baits around fallen trees and stumps mostly, caught a 24.5 inch bass on it today. Had the leverage to pull him out of the tree with 20 lb fluorocarbon, yet the sensitivity to tell exactly what structure my crankbait hits. Will be buying more of these rods soon.

Rated 5 out of 5Â by Mule659 Outstanding Rods.
I bought this rod about a year and a half ago. I don't think you can find better rod for $100 anywhere. I am now using these rods on all my baitcasters.

Is the 7 foot 6 inch winch rod good for fishing deep crankbaits like 6 xd's?Can you suggest a better rod for deep crankbaits?
Answers
A:Â
Absolutely! In fact, this is the rod I use (matched with a winch reel) for fishing series 5, 5XD, 6 & 6XD. Very limber, but with the extra backbone that a MH gives you. Enough flex to really get good casts, long enough to put up a good fight in deep water and with a lot of line out, forgiving enough to keep the fish hooked, and light enough to fish all day without fatigue.

Yes, its a great rod for them. I fish the deep 12 foot cranks with mine and no issues

Grab a mojo bass st. croix crankbait rod. This is a graphite rod, not a glass rod. Glass rods work much better for crankbaits.Answers

I fish with the Veritas Spinning 7' M for my finesse applications. It's long enough to make long casts, yet I can still get a good "skip" up under something like a dock when I'm wacky-rigging. The M action has a nice soft tip with enough backbone to get a good hook set and leverage during the fight. Mine are matched up with STX Spinning Reels #20 size and either 8lb. fluorocarbon or 20lb. Invisibraid. Never had any worries about the rod failing, and it's the most sensitive rod I've owned.

7' medium. It has a fast tip and will load the light baits well.
Top 25 Contributor
A:Â
I would say the best one for wacky rigging would be the 6'6" Medium with extra fast tip or the 7' medium with fast tip.Details:Â
is this size too long for these applications?Answers
Top 25 Contributor
A:Â
This paired with a Revo STX is my pitching stick. Its perfect for it.
Top 250 Contributor
A:Â
It would not be too long. It is personal preference really. For flipping you will get more distance with a longer rod. I do not like these rods as a jig rod though because I feel that the sensitivity is not too good. I would switch brands.
Top 250 Contributor
A:Â
Actually it's the perfect size for tossing frogs or for flipping heavy cover. Make sure you get a reel like a Browning Midas with a strong drag and a flipping feature. Team them with Power Pro 65lb line and you're set.Answers

Depends on what your using it for. That would be an ideal combo for most any techniques. I prefer Abu reels, but that Curado is a fine product
Top 250 Contributor
A:Â
Depends on what you are wanting to throw. If it is spinners or buzzbaits or topwater then go for it. If you are going to be jigging or anything then no. The sensitivity is not too good.A:Â
I actually have this combo and love it. The curado fits perfectly on the pole. The colors together are a little interesting but it's fishing. I myself am very happy with the pairing.A:Â
Great choice!Answers

Veritas. Very light weight, and thicker backbone than the BPS rodsA:Â
I have one of each in 6'9" MH and like them both. The carbon lite seems to handle a little lighter but they both have a good backbone. I typically use the Veritas for jigs 3/8 to 1/2 oz and the carbon lite for texas rigs. If I were buying another one would probably go with the carbon lite.A:Â
Veritas, i have 3. 2 are for jigs and worm. they stand up to the fish great and are really sensitive.Q:Â

Is the 7' MH a god rod to fish jigs and worms? Also, are these rods good as they sound?
Answers
Top 25 Contributor
A:Â
for 3/8 ounce and smaller the MH will be great. 1/2 ounce or larger, I would suggest going with a heavy
Top 250 Contributor
A:Â
DON"T DO IT!!! SENSITIVITY IS BAD!!! I was anxious to get one because of all the good things I had heard. But apparently no one ever used them for jigs or worms. I have a IM7 field&stream 30 dollar rod that I can feel more with.A:Â
I have not yet used my veritas with jigs or worms. However as far as the rod itself I feel they are as good as advertised. I took mine on a trip to Canada and caught over 50 fish with it. The biggest topping 12lbs. The rod handled them all with ease. The rod is extremely light with great sensitivity and just enough backbone. I have since purchased 2 more.A:Â
get it. I got 3 of em. Very happy with all of em.Answers

The skeet reese rods are good rods, but the Veritas have better features, lighter and thicker backbonesA:Â
Veritas no doubt. skeet reese rods arent that great really.
Top 250 Contributor
A:Â
I have never owned a W&M (Skeet Reese) but I do have a Veritas. I would not recommend the Veritas, seeing as how it is more expensive than W&M. Unless you hear something negative about them, go with Skeet.Details:Â
usually throw mono but occasionally braid. which guides would be be best for hard type lures?Answers
Top 25 Contributor
A:Â
I have a 7' medium micro for my top water rod. It has a fast tip and great for working the action on top water baits. For cranking I would suggest going with the Winch series. The winch series have slow tips.A:Â
I would go with regular if you are the least bit rough on rods. I haven't had great luck with micro guides thus far but haven't had any issues with the regular guides.A:Â
If your using Mono I'd stay away from the Micro Guides. The MONO can have a memory to it, which can cause problems passing through the guides.Answers

A:Â
The winch series would make better rodsA:Â
The new winch series Veritas are awesome cranking rods. I really like the 7ft M action for throwing square bills.
Top 500 Contributor
A:Â
You can get the MOD action rod that is a Medium flex and that is good for cranks... I prefer fiberglass but these will work. Might consider using mono with the graphite.A:Â
absolutelyA:Â
Yes because it is Rigid but very Sensitive. have the 7' MH and absolutely LOVE it!!!! Cant take my hands off it...
