boostr reply :

What Power and action rod do you use for Rattle Traps, and the like. I know its a treble bait, but isn't a Medium Moderate rod to soft to jerk these guys thru the weeds and grass?

CDMeyer reply :

I try and use either a M or a MH soft rod.

cbass12 reply :

7' M/F or 6'8" M/XF

Dwight Hottle reply :

Go with a MHM.

iabass8 reply :

MHM all the way.

Catch and Grease reply :

I like a M/F

Grantman83 reply :

Mhm if I can. With the 1/4oz I don't mind using a medium

Alonerankin2 reply :

MHM... Like said above Or, bigger traps and such I like a HMF action

aavery2 reply :

Mod Fast or Fast action for me.

Jrob78 reply :

I like a MHMF graphite rod.

Raul reply :

I don´t have a crankbait specialized rod, I fish cranks depending upon bait weight and cover with M - MH - H Fast common everyday rods.

Stingray23 reply :

I like a 7' MH-Mod. rod

GoDeep reply :

I use a 7'6 mh moderate crucial crank bait rod. I usually throw traps in the 1/2-5/8oz range. Once TVA drops the lake levels to winter pool, the 7'6 let's me bomb them out from the shore.

ABW reply :

MH moderate fast... best of both worlds.

Arv reply :

MHM, specifically the Dobyns 705cb

Another alternative: St. Croix AVC70MM

Bluebasser86 reply :

I like a 7' M/F when I'm popping them through grass and have very little problems with fish tossing them or pulling off.

boostr reply :

What type of line are you using?

roadwarrior reply :

#12 Sunline Super Natural (monofilament)

boostr reply :

Obviously a 7" H/F with braid isn't a good choice. I would get bit, but they would spit the hook once they jumped a little. One of my rods broke at home... good excuse to get a new one.

boostr reply :

Wouldn't mono be a little too stretchy when ripping it thru the weeds?

roadwarrior reply :

No, coming through weeds is not an issue in my mind. For the most part "stretch"

comes into play with single hook lures where you must drive a hook into the bass'

mouth. With treble hooks we generally use a sweeping motion and the fish hooks

itself.

What line do you use?

DTack reply :

I want a rod with a softer tip that does eventually "shut off" at some point around halfway down the blank.

I use 14lb Mustad Thor. No problems ripping it free from the weeds. If you bury it up bad enough you can't rip it loose with that combo I don't think it matters what setup you're using.
