I use several rods. If I have a long leader I want a longer rod (7'6" or 7'10") heavy action fast tip ... just easier for me to throw for distance.(I got alligator arms). If I am fishing shallow, light weight, short leaders ... sorta finesse CR if you will, I'll use a 6'10" MH fast with 15 fluoro leader always. Main line is 50 lb braid.


Advice? Wise men don't need it. Fools won't heed it.

Great idea but try this approach instead...

Take your longest, stiffest available rod and set up a Carolina rig with either braid or fluorocarbon main line and either mono or fluorocarbon leader. Try it. Get a feel for it. Try the other line options. THEN, when you have a feel for it, get yourself a designated c-rig set up.

You may discover that your c-rig rod can double-duty as a frog rod, a flipping rod, a jig rod or a tx-rig rod.

X2.....If you already have a frog rod, or a heavy action rod with a fast tip, you are already in the game for using it as a C-Rig rod

I have a Veritas 7'6" frog series with 50# braid. It doubles as a C rig and frog rod. It's a MH rod with a little more tip and a bit more parabolic bend than the standard 7'6" MH. It's only $100 and your getting double duty out of it. If you want to through a lighter Crig then use your standard worm rod with a mojo rig. It's basically a c rig but instead of a swivel and leader you peg a smaller cylindrical weight a foot or two above your worm. Still lighter you can use your shakey head/finesse rod with a split shot rig. Pinch a small split shot a few inches to a foot or so above your worm and drag it along slow.
