FXtreme. online. Click on technique specific and it will give you the choices. Then go to Sportsmans Outfitters to order what you want. I love these for moving baits.

These two (Irod Genisus IIIs). I have both, $150 each. If you’re talking treble hooked swimbaits? If you’re talking jig hooked swimbaits then you could use just the Bama Rig Special for both? I like them both and for the price you can’t go wrong unless you don’t like micro guides? Then there not for you .

Dobyns Fury 795SB will handle both the A-rig and 2oz baits pretty well. Love mine I put a Shimano Curado 300K on it

Another vote for Dobyns Fury 795SB. Got it for $99 at Tackle Warehouse and works great for A Rig and Swimbaits. Rated to 5oz. I throw up to a Deps 250 (6oz) as well on it and it handles it although I think that is at the limit of its power for sure.....
Get one rod for both techniques and get a better reel (I use a Lew's Super Duty). The reel is really the workhorse for this setup....

The Dobyns rods are hard to beat.

Dobyns Fury, 795 i think is the exact model, is always recommended in the swimbait groups Im in. Theyre all meat sticks imo
