What is your favorite TX RIG rod, GO!!

Looking for what the TFF has to say about their favorite tx rig rods.. Let her' rip!!

Gloomis IMX pro 854C

Envy Black 7'3" MH for 1/2 oz and smaller.
Envy Black 7'3" H for anything bigger than 1/2 oz

NRX 873

My original All Star WR1's

Loomis MBR 844C

Loomis MBR 843 or 844 depends on the weight I'm using.

Nice!! Loomis rods are very nice, too bad I can't afford one.. But, I won a G Loomis hat once!! That's as close as I'll get!!

Thanks for the replies.. Maybe a few under 200.00?

Those were some great rods, I still use my Platniums for this... just rebuilt both and put recoil guides on them.

For me, it depends on a lot of things. First and foremost, it depends on what lake I'm fishing, then it has a lot to do with the color of worm I'm using at the time. There's nothing worse than having a 8" Zoom pumpkin mag on the pole I use for 8" Zoom red cajun mags. Don't get me started on which hook I use for which pole. That deserves a topic all its own.

Day in and day out I reach for a Megabass Oriochi XX Perfect Pitch. Lighter work I use the MB XX Diablo Spec R. Got the new MB XX Braillist in as well but need to get more hours on it to get a better range of what it does etc.

I use a G. Loomis IMX 843. For a little cheaper alternative a 7ft MH Falcon Cara is a good choice.

I like my Duckett Ghost MH 7' 3".

Lews custom speed stick lite magnum bass model.

Falcon 7'2 MH swimjig rod!

I've got to say you're one helluva fisherman, Sinkey. Anyone who can smoke 'em on a Falcon Cara has mad skills. I have a very hard time feeling light bites on those rods. Now the Mike McClelland Signature Series flipping stick is sensitive as all get out.

All 4 of my 7'2s are the McClelland series Cara's. I have 2 others that are the Reaction Series Cara's. But pretty much use those for traps, chatterbaits, etc. The Reaction's don't seem to be quiet as sensitive though.

Falcon LowRider Head Turner

Question: I fish all my bottom contact baits with my left index finger under the line in front of my reel. Is there a rod that is more sensitive to bites than my finger? I don't own any of the high end rods. I'm just curious if it would make a big difference when I'm already in constant line contact with my finger?

7'6" Ducket Micro Magic Pro

Coincidentally or not, also happen to be the most expensive rod I own. So don't have much to compare them against.

Hard to say. I don't touch the line when I'm fishing. I will tell you this tho, any Loomis rod from the GLX up transmits the lightest of bites on a line with a lot of belly in it from the wind right to the reel seat.

Sinkey would win the contest on who uses the longest C-rig leader! I've seen him coil up six feet up line on the back deck then get a running start to the front deck and sling it out!

Cashion John Crews 7'2 MH Worm rod

Falcon Cara ST 6'10 MH

Duckett MMP 7'6" Heavy for 1/2 oz
Dobyns Champion XP 704c for 3/8 oz

Falcon BuCoo 7ft MH

Dobyns Champion 734 for everything except magnum plastics like 12” worms.....

Power Tackle PG 104

Dobyns Fury FR 704C

G. Loomis NRX 854C

NRX 893, 894

Agree - I just retro fitted Winn Grips to the two WR1's I still have.

Lews 7’3 tp1
Lews custom lite 7’11

I am surprised those two WR-1's haven't exploded into three pieces on the hookset.

I was the All Star rod rep for NTX for five years and I replaced about 90% of all the WR-1's I sold. I broke two in one day pitching a jig at Fork on fish and this is before braided line!

I may look into the Winn Grips. But I still love my platnium series rods. With the re-coil eyes added I don’t worry about breaking eyes anymore.

Diawa Jupiter 7'6 Heavy....Im old school😎

The older model All-Star rods were the best!

The ones still made in Houston, yes

Bass pro shops Carbonlite 2.0 7'3" medium heavy or
Castaway Taranis 7'3" medium Heavy.

Loomis IMX 893

St Croix Legend Tournament rods get my vote.

Houston made All Stars is all I fish with. I have acquired bout 40 over the years and they still fish better than any other I’ve tried.

Best worm rod. 6’10”, Fast MH Titanium All Star. You can feel a fly land on the tip.

No problems here. I also have a WR2 that I will never let go. I heard Morgan McCain speak at a show a while back & he swears his C843MH is just a newer WR1.

Dobyns Champion Extreme 744 HP split handle paired with a Lew's Team Pro 7.1 using FC Sniper Floro 14lb.

G-Rod 7'3" MH Pro Bass

Would like to try Megabass and the NRX

Power Tackle PG-104

7’ heavy Z-Bone

This^

It was actually closer to 7 feet! It got a lot of bites, no doubt, but I went back to a shorter one when I throw it. I really don't throw a C-rig as much on Fork anymore........found something way more productive! Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
