7'1"MHXF spinning is my fav rod i have. Id give it up for all others. Basically my laker rod. That XF sure makes a huge difference in 60+ fow from the bank. My 7'0MH is under quite a load that far out. Works great for smallies but i cant seem to work the spook quite right with that rod. :/7'0 MH rod, 7.1.1 gear ratio baitcasting reel, 30lb power pro while using different leaders accordingly.
I have a stcroix 7 heavy. I'm quite happy with as wellFor me it's the Phenix UMBX-707H 7'7" 10-25 3/8 - 1 1/4 oz. Such a versatile rod, especially for bigger game fish.
Would seven inches really make that much of a difference?For wiper and pike in particular, I would highly recommend going to a longer rod, mainly for casting distance. With those two species, covering a lot of water is the name of the game and you get the most out of a longer rod. It's also nice for fighting bigger fish as long as you realize you have more leverage.
Ask your wifeWould seven inches really make that much of a difference?
I did. She said she didn't know because she hadn't seen seven inches since we met... Lol/crying...Ask your wife

I have been stuck in ca. Every time I get on here I get homesick for the fishin there . Here Its stocked trout ( a 16-18 is big here) bass , or big water.big water is a little to far for me. At most of the lakes it costs about 35 bucks to launch n fish. " I'LL BE BACK "A fyraxe sighting!!!! LOL...How and where ya been bud? Good to see you back posting dude!!! :rockon::rockon::rockon:
You say that so nonchalantly! I'd take CA bass over any CO fishing personally, I realize most people here aren't the same thoughbass "
