I've read the different reviews on the swimbait rods here so now I'm shopping for a new swimbait stick. I'd like to get the Okuma ($90) in mh because most baits I want to throw wont be that big(yet). I'll get a heavy stick later. The Crucial is available in mh and is a definate possibility but is $60 more. I also found a GLoomis BBR964c at Sport Chalet this morning for $149 which is $20 cheaper than Tacklewarehouse($170) but I think that that is a heavy stick. I like throwing the Storm baits, Big Hammers, and I'm looking into getting some Castaics in 6", Matt's Baby Bass, and possibly trying a few other small to medium sized swimbaits. Your experiences, advice, and places to purchase at decent prices would be very helpful. If you still think I should get a heavy rod for throwing those smaller baits like the Storms then I'll just go ahead and get one.
