BassCat99 I had Kevin with Shamrock rods build me a custom rod using the MHX SB-812 6'9" rod blank specifically for spinnerbait/chatterbait fishing. I immediately loved the rod for this technique and then started using it for other rigs, Senko, Flukes etc and it worked really good for those also. Good all around rod. Wanted another rod for other techniques a little longer and got him to build me one using the MB-843 7' blanks and pretty much using it for everything else like Texas rig, jigs etc.

I like my Falcon Bucoo Trap Caster. It's a 7' Med Hvy. The Bucoo Finesse Jig rod also makes a pretty spinnerbait rod

KVD Spinnerbait Rod. It has the right amount of flex to allow the fish to inhale the bait but yet still get a good hook set. My percentage of landing fish has really gone up since I started using this rod.

Tbass those are the exact rods I’ve built also and for same techniques. Building another at 7’3” heavy for flipping/pitching at Falcon. Love those MHX blanks. Going to try a X-day from North Fork for CR and TR next.

Going to try a X-day from North Fork for CR and TR next. I had Kevin build me a 7'3" rod that I was going to use for Carolina rigging and when I got it I also was using it for heavy flipping but the rod was just a little too heavy for me to use on an all day flipping day but should be perfect for some Falcon flipping. So it has now turned into my Umbrella rig rod and I decided to just use the 7' rod for my flipping, besides my need for fighting a really big fish is so few and far between these days and these 65 year old bones need to be as comfortable as possible. Also even the 7' rods and the 6'9" 812 rods have some really stout backbone to them.

Such a versatile rod I use as a Falcon Cara 7' 2" swimjig rod. On the Trap Caster.....look at the new Lowrider they have coming out. I have the 7' MH "All Around" rod. Almost identical. I think you'll like it.
