New fenwick in my future

randerson52 · 06-23-05, 01:46 PM

I have decided on the Fenwick HMX 6 ft 6 or so in a M. It will be mostly used for spinnerbating, cranking, and topwater, with the occasional jig and the ocassional tiki stik or senko, Should I get it in MH or M? The reel is going to be the Tournament ZX or The Prodigy, not quite sure- i read reviews and compared the rods and reels, and IMO the fenwick is cheaper, but since I own 2 fenwicks, I decided to stick with what company works for me. This is a casting setup, so I was thinking along the line of 17 lb mono, is that TOO much for Jersey?

power
a mh would be better spinner bait/top water stick. it is a tad over the top for a crank unless it is a big crank-poes 400,dt22,ect..-plus you would get to much feel with and hmx rod . hence you would pull the crank out of a fishes mouth. as a soft plastic's rod an mh is what i use.-only 7 foot-.

ummm why are you set on using 17 pound test?? personly i use 12 for most every thing.
