Ice-King Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 Just curious as to what rods people are using for throwing bulldogs. Brand, length, action, etc. What about for throwing pounders? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuskieJunkie Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 8' Shimano Compre Heavy for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musky Buck Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 I would think a pool cue type, heavy action. 6 out of 10 times it works every time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRedig Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 8.5 Compre XH for me on the mag dawgs. I borrowed a friends St. Croix XXH last fall for pounders and such, it was an 8 foot pool cue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianLucky13 Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 8'6" monster heavy. From Musky Innovations. I've tried a lot of different ones and thats my favorite. Only thing I dont like is the guides. After one summer I needed to put new guides on it which wasnt a big deal cuz I got it for dirt cheap. Pounders are not a problem casting with that rod.

nater Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 I've been happy with the Okuma EVx Heavy action for mag's, never thrown a pounder but I'm sure it could handle those as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
