Victory / Legend Tournament 7’3 MH has been the dream spinnerbait rod for me. 1/4-5/8 with trailers, up to 7/8oz without trailer. The slower tips that Croix usually makes fit these moving baits perfectly. The 7’1 and 7’5 lengths are basically the same too
Good stuff Ben, thanks for sharing
I think another good choice for the fast retrieve would be the st croix legend elite 7’4” heavy! All st croix rods kind of have a soft tip plus it has torzite guides! You here that Geoffreythejester lol🍻
I have a older levante spinnerbait special. What are your thoughts on the rod? I like the action, it just feels a little short at times since my casts on spinnerbaits tend to be longer as bass seem to follow them a long way and attack too
Been throwing SB with Megabass Javelin for the past few years, launch like a cannon, strong and solid hook sets. Recently started throwing on the P5 Mad Bull... man! Beyond my imagination!
Been using a 6ft pistol grip ugly stik for about 48 years.I have an Abu reel with a 6:1 ratio....use 17lb trilene xt green mono.I pour and tie my own spinnerbaits from 1/8 to 11/2 versions.I have tried longer rods with mh actions,but that medium ugly stik keeps them pinned better than any I've tried.I wish that Shakespeare still made them.
Have the same rod. Used it a lot shore fishing when dealing with low trees.
I have a skyline 5 1/2 medium best spinnerbait and topwater walking or popper rod i have out of the 2 dozen rods I own.
Abu 4600 15 pound
McCoys copoly
Love watching you guys always great info ont products
Could you suggest something around the 200$ rang pls
Which rod is best is dependent upon the line used as well as the application, an excellent rod with mono may be too fast or stiff used with braid and visa-versa
Perfect timing on the video as I just got the dark sleeper rod and the sv3’s in over the weekend from ya! Arigatou gozaimasu 🤘
Awesome! thank you for your business! Enjoy the new gear!
@@thehookuptackle_usa i dont really have a dedicated spinnerbait rod but how would a braillist do I use it for most of my 3/4 oz football jigs and lighter and its awesome sounds like from your description of rod it could be a good general purpose spinner bait rod as well
Ben, how much of a downgrade is the IMX Pro 904MBR? I just ordered it and I’m hoping to use it for 1/2-1oz football jigs, swim jigs and spinnerbaits. Same action just a bit heavier/less sensitive?
Another rod question. Mega bass Levante. Perfect Pitch for 1/2oz spinner baits? Diablo Spec-R for finesse style sb's??
could you inform me what the diameter of the megabass destroyer line guides are? measured from the inside? are they really small? looking at the cyclone rod from megabass
I recently broke my daemos, however you spell it, it was my spinnerbait rod. 😐😐😐. But Im currently using my Poison heavy at the moment. It feels similar to my desmos. I use these with my 3/8 and up. With 1/4 I use my mh Expride. Concerning the poison H, is it mistake? I'm still fairly new to bass fishing, 2 years in now. I feel that my poison isn't a true heavy rod that it's more of a MH+.
The levente tour versatile pairs with a chronarch 20lb test and a sv3 1/2 ounce is killer for smallies on the detroit river and lake st clair!!!
Hi , i got a question? Im wondering witch rod i need for chatterbait and swimjig rod ?? A heavy mod/fast , or something else ?? Thx you and i fish on dock.
I use a GLX 844MBR or 843MBR depending on spinnerbait size.
Ben what do you think about an 854JWR? Or maybe 843MBR for the lighter baits?
The 7’2 MH and 7’3 MH Combat sticks will also both handle spinnerbaits just fine. Love both of those. The 7’2 MH Howell Tatula Elite rod also will. 3 solid 200 dollar rods for a spinnerbait!
I'm using a 7'4 mh kvd spinnerbait rod for smaller spinnerbaits and a 7'6 extra heavy kristler rod for heavier spinnerbaits
Love your content guys. I live in North Carolina and fish primarily brackish /saltwater. Throwing topwater, mirrolure and a lot of half ounce to one ounce spoons . Spinning rod wise daiwa ags or nrx plus. And pair it with 3,000 spinning reel exist or Stella. I wanna pull the trigger and can’t make a choice 😂
You cant lose no matter what you choose! If you need your reel to be super strong - get the Stella. If you want it to have butter smooth drag for light line - get the Exist. On the rod, Either way is solid, but Steez doesn't really have a heavy rod for those weights, so I guess I'm going NRX 3 power.
I have an Ark essence 6’8” medium that is phenomenal for spinner baits up to 1/2 oz anything past that is to heavy for the rod. But generally I use use 3/8 and 1/2 oz spinnerbaits
The Invoker Pro 7’3 Mag MH will handle the bigger spinnerbaits awesome as well!
By gee there is that many rod choices around but personally i use in very heavy enclosed timbered waterways I use a 5ft 8inch hexagonal blank spin rod named a Cape Fear...My second rod is a composite 7ft 1inch Neritica teamed up with Daiwa Tatula 5:8:1...My 3rd rod is a composite 7ft 3inch Diesel from Powellco teamed up with my 7:3:1 Daiwa twithching reel..
I only throw my own designed spinnerbaits in 1/4 or 1/2 ounce baits with 15lb braid and mono leaders...regards B.J.sCustom Baits Australia..
Conquest 904c mbr vs NRX 904c mbr, is there a big difference fishing those two rods?
I have a couple of bps crankin sticks 6 1/2 mh
17 copoly great spinner rod
I have literally a dozen or more preferred spinnerbait rods since the 1999s, with the GLoomis 3-4 power MBR IMX-GLX as a good standard for most 3/8-3/4 oz spinnerbaits.
Today, my favorite with copoly/mono/fluoro 1/2-3/4 is a Megabass LWL Super Diablo II, if the bait is 3/4-1.25 and with a bigger trailer, I like the Evergreen TKIC Super Stallion...drop down to 1/4-3/8 and I really like a medium power mod/fast in a shorter length, like the Legit Design Wild Side 6'10" Med.
Then there are long range spinnerbait rods, specifically with 3/4-1.25+ baits + trailer...long casts also benefit with braid + leader for distance, better hooksets, and sensitivity on a line line. I like powerful crankbait type blanks, and something like my custom MHX907 CB is a good option.
For power cranking 1 oz + tailers like the Strike King Bottom Dweller on windy days and long casts with a copoly that stretches, I like a long & powerful jig/flipping type rod with a fast taper. I actually do very well with a rod like the Phenix Ultra MBX Classic 707H (Gen I and Gen III).
A good value everyday rod for 3/8-3/4 would be a rod akin to the Daiwa Rebellion 7'3" MH...
It's endless man.
Meant to type *1990s...lol.
What are your thoughts on the Orochi XX Diablo Spec R?
I’ve been using the mad bull what do you think about it. Thanks Great video
Madbull is great too!
Still getting the 904 mbr what about the white python rod in deep water 3/4 oz
Would the Megabass Levante Jerbait Rod be a good spinnerbait rod?
Love this vid
Ben, how come almost all spinner baits that I’ve tried, end up being heavier than what is listed on the package? I’ve put many different brands on my scales and they always end up being a 1/4oz to 3/8oz heavier than the stated weight. For example those Megabass SV-3 Spinnerbaits in 1/2oz size, actually weight a little over 3/4oz… then when you add your trailer most 1/2oz spinner baits end up being over 1oz in weight. For that reason I usually swap between two rods. I like the GLoomis Conquest 843MBR MH Fast action for 3/8oz spinners with a trailer or 1/2oz without a trailer, and then I use the Shimano Poison Adrena 7’-4” Hvy, Reg Fast rod for the 1/2oz with trailer on up to 1oz+ spinners.
It's probably the added weight of the blades, beads, etc
Looking for a Megabass spinning rod for lighter senkos, any advise?
Landsat will work for 4inch or smaller lol
the champion xp 734 has treated me incredible for spinner baits and especially chatter baits.
That is such a valuable perspective about how spinnerbait and chatterbaits require different actions due to the inherent nature of how each lure is designed. I already knew the fundamentals of this and I already use 2 different rods for the spinnerbaits and chatterbaits, but I didn't know why or how to explain the reasoning until now. Great information!
Thank you for watching! I'm glad it was helpful! 🍻
I’m old school and haven’t even thought about throwing my old antique spinnerbaits on the dark sleeper. But since I’m simi-retired and own two dark sleeper rods I’ll be giving them a whirl to see for my self. Thanks a bunch for the informative video.
And where in the hell is hippi on this topic ?
I miss that dude. Thanks again and say HELLO to all your excellent employees.
Have fun throwing them! Hippie is in NY fishing 👍🍻
I feel like there is a better Orochi than the tour versatile… the Oneten special or one of the 7’2”-7’5” rods
BTW Ben, Geoffrey did a great job on Sunday while you were MIA :) My wife said he is such a better example for not forcing me to drink early on Sunday morning :))
It's good to have some boring friends too I guess 👍😂🍻
A swim jig is more of a solid(no flex) bait than a chatterbait. If you can throw a swim jig and a spinnerbait on the same rod, why wouldn't you also be able to use it for a chatterbait?

What you think? Windbuster vs Conquest?
Personal prefrance from flippin sticks to postal grips
Great video! Can you guys perhaps give us a video of a rod that is affordable and very versatile, please?
Agreed. My price point is closer to $20. But at least now I know a little better what to look for.
500 for a great big fish technique isn’t bad at all
@@BigBassBalenci8 Maybe. If you’re rich or investing in winning tournaments. Not if you live on Social Security, have a kid in college, had your career destroyed when a certain party decided to decimate your industry at the bottom of a recession.
In college, I had a friend from China who fished with a line hand-wound on a piece of cardboard. He caught more fish without a pole than I did.
@@ricksonora6656
you definitely don't need a 500 dollar setup. but 2 to 3 hundred is more than enough to buy a quality combo.
to those who can't afford if , anything that gets you out of the house is better then nothing
@@ricksonora6656 Dobyns Fury 733 is great. If you find them on sale (Labor Day, Black Friday) they're $100 range
Simple. Mine is the Orochi XXX Venom and for those tiny river Spinnerbaits, the Orochi XXX Rattle Viper
The power pitch could be one of the greatest “junk” rod ever built. There are so many things that rod does well.
27 yr old 6' medium Abu GArcia Black Maxx Combo ,,, cast a mile still smooth and catches every fish the hits the bait and not just bites off the trailer 🤠
I've been using 6' 8" to 6' 10" medium heavy baitcast rods with a fast taper for alot of years. Anytime I hear about something else I have to laugh! AND besides that, I'm not paying between 5 and 6 hundred dollars for a rod!
I use phenix rods
Daemos vs Dark Sleeper, differences, when one over the other?
Daemos is a little faster/crisper
I’m surprised the Daiwa Rebellion rods didn’t get an “honorable mention” in this video! Can I get a model recommendation in the Rebellion line please :)!
7'3" MH is a good all-around spinnerbait rod for longer casts...if you like shorter distance 3/8-1/2 the 6'10" MHMF is a good option as well.
P5 Blade 🤫
NRX+ 844MBR or 843MBR depending on spinner weight & size
You guys are frkn rad. I was just bitchn to my wife about needing a rod for spinnerbaits. Love fishing spinnerbaits, but sick of it feeling like im dragging an anchor. Thanks guys
Man up,..go and get the rod you want..The last time a woman told me, what rod or boat I couldn't have. And I'm the one who is working..My ex wife..SEEYA SHO DON'T WANT TO BEYA..THAT IS WHY SHE'S A EX WIFE..
@@davidthomas2921 wtf you mean man up? I said I was bitchn about the rods I had for spinnerbaits. I just couldn't figure out what rod would do the job. She just got me 2 big swimbait rods and a handful of swimbaits and glides for bitchn that I didn't have enough of those. Hopefully she'll bring home 1 or 2 of the rods mentioned in the video. So I really don't see why I need to man up.
@@justinstruyck9989 OK, I thought you were complaining about your wife..Sorry
@@davidthomas2921It's all good man. I know it's shocking. I can see the confusion lol. Have a good one.keep them lines tight and poles dancing 🤙🏽
@@justinstruyck9989 Thank you, I understand...I had a bad one..But I 'm glad you have a good one..That's like a 14lb bass, hard to find.
OK what about fishing line for spinnerbaits
My Brailist has turned into my go to half ounce spinner bait rod.
What are your thoughts on using the madbull to throw spinner baits. I love these videos they are always so informative
Madbull is a great one too for faster retrieves for me.
Ben I see you I heard some anime opening music in the back ground!
The Megabass SV-3 is a fabulous design. However, The quality of the bait itself is in line with the cheapest spinnerbait available at Walmart. I've been fishing them for the last 18 months and so far I have (8) SV-3 spinnerbaits that have lost their outside blades. I've never had this happen to ANY other spinner bait. Megabass needs to fix their quality issues.
Tie/wrap some braid around the loop that holds the blade until it fills the gap, and seal with a dab of super glue. Unfortunately lots of spinnerbaits have this issue with the rear blade working loose and coming off on the arm due to the slightly open wire loop that holds the split ring/BB swivel/blade.
Also when fishing spinner baits in clear water let the fis eat it 80% of the time you can see the eat do about a 3 to 5 second wait and then set because you can rip the bait out of the fishes mouth
7'2" med poison adrena and a 1/2 oz war eagle trokar extreme in mouse is my jam. I use a bright roboworm ned worm as a trailer and it's ridiculous.
I throw a Spinnerbait all years and always catch bass.
Your overthinking the difference between spinnerbaits and blade bait. You’ve got a pile of line (likely mono or fluoro) out at the end of your cast so there is no reason to even give any thought to the tiny bit of flex in the wire.
I hate how nobody is talking about the difference between fiberglass, composite and graphite rods.... It's all heavy medium light deep fast....

Do you have a recommendation that aren't $500+? jeez
It is truly sad when someone is doing a tutorial video on which $800 rod and reel combo is best for throwing a $5 spinner bait.
I'm a simple kind of guy you don't need all this high end stuff my ugly stick will do it all
Lot of talking about spinnerbaits lol..
How come u guys always act as if the only way u can catch a fish is on sum megabass $350-400 rod.ive got my share of imx,glx,nrx rods,custom built rods and everything else,but every technique u guys talk about is sum daiwa steeze,or a $500 megabass,trust me there are plenty of rods in the $100 rods and even less,that are more than adequate,ta catch spinnerbait fish.if you look at tactical bassing,or Rick clunn,and several other pro anglers,that will tell u that the equipment aspect of bass fishing is way overrated.not saying one does not need adequate equipment,but I think when a channel as ures,sumtime does more ta turn people off to the sport,than on to it.i think if u would use a little more discretion,ure channel mite grow a little more also.just my opinion on ure show.
might be because they're one of, if not thee largest Megabass dealers in North America
I fish in Ohio and we use different rods line and spbts. here.
