I finally decided to buy a few. My 7' medium heavy isn't getting the job done. I cant throw it more than 15 yards without getting a major birds nest. I'm using braid but think I need a broom stick to get any distance with it. Any recomendations please?

Check out the TFO Tactical series 7' 11" Mag H swimbait rod. It is rated for 1-6 oz.
It won't wear you out throwing all that weight.

I second the TFO mag hvy!

veritas 8' heavy and a WIDE SPOOL REEL! lol, seriously, it keeps braid from clogging up. med ret

if ur on a budget...

Depends on what you want to spend, I use a Dobyns champ 795 swimbait rod and it will chunk it a mile.

I second the wide spool reel, I'm going to get a round reel for mine I believe because I can empty the spool on a normal sized baitcaster pretty much.

i went back to the ambassador 5500...good price and perfect for this.

pick your poison

Many thanks got the tips especially the round reel suggestion. I have a few of the 5500's that I can put to use.

It's not something I use on a regular basis, I threw one this weekend on a 7 6 heavy vendetta with 65 lb braid. Worked great.

iRod's Bama Rig Special and a Lew's Super Duty reel

Try an Abu Garcia Volatile 8'

Dobyns 766 was good and could be used for heavy flip, but I now like the Mike Long Swim Bait with the long butt you can get some good leverage.

Check out the Denali Rosewood 7'11. Its an awesome rod

The moral of the story is you gotta have a heavy action rod. I wouldn't go shorter than 7'-6" for chunkin these beasts.
