M/L rods for bass
Not wanting to hijack Kory's thread about his new carrot stix rod, and to get as much input as possible I'm curious how many guys use a M/L rod for bass (and I am assuming he would use it for bass due to the specific mention of shaky head). I'm not critical of anyone's personal choice, I just can't get my head around the idea and hope to get a better understanding of the reasons for using one. I've never used anything less than a medium power rod for bass. I only own a couple ML spinning rods that I use for crappie and panfish. But for bass - I don't know anyone that uses a M/L power rod.
Actually I don't have many medium power rods either. Those I do are either spinning rods for finesse presentations or crankbait rods. Everything else I use for bass is M/H or heavy. My thinking is a M/L rod would not have enough power to get a good hook set on a bass with it's mouth clamped shut on a bait, like a shakey head as Kory mentioned. Maybe it would work with a small crankbait that is already moving with very sharp hooks, but I'd rather use a medium power spinning rod. I'm just not getting it, but am interested in how they may work for others. |
