FAVORITE C-RIG ROD

I know this has been discussed but rather than search old posts I figured I'd ask... What's your favorite rod[quotweight/length/action for C-rig?

Dobyns 804c, unless you are throwing smaller c rigs.

Kistler Helium 3 Heavy 7' 11" MAD

I use a Kistler Helium 3 Heavy MAD 7’11 for Carolina rigs, one of my favorite rods.

I like a MH rod with a fast tip for C-rigs. Up to 3/4 oz. If throwing 1 or 1.5 oz I prefer a Heavy rod for those. BEST C-rig rod I have found is the Dobyns 804 Carolina rig special. rod. It is a Champion, but BEST I have found. Here is a link to it.

It can handle both light and heavy weights. It is a Heavy rod with a fast tip. GREAT ROD for C rigging. Hope this helps. Tight lines, keep safe and good luck.

Thad Rains

Academy Ethos HD 7'3" heavy with a Team Lews Pro 7.5:1 reel. 20lb red label.

Falcon Cara Carolina 7'6

Falcon lizard dragger 2 7'

I use a dobyns 766 champion.

Ditto on both.

Houston built All-Star.

Kistler Z-bone 5H 7'8" with light weight, great feel and long-distance hook setting power.

Dobyns Extreme 784. Awesome C-rig rod.

Powertackle SB-4 is my favorite

Ditto on the Dobyns 805 Special. Grrrrreat rod. Broke the tip in my rod locker recently though.

I love PT rods and do not have an SB-4. I C-rig a lot with a pg 104 because I feel like the 104.5 is too much. I like the 104 but with a 3/4 oz weight seems like I need a little more rod. Is the SB-4 something like a rod that is between the 104 and 104.5?

I was looking at a 7 11 MH...I typically don't go over 3/4 oz for the lakes I fish. Im gonna look at TW and see what the dobyns will run with the 20% off. thanks guys

Kistler is having a great sale also. If you’re near Magnolia just go to their business and check them out.

Falcon 7'3" heavy bucoo or cara

I actually use my Falcon Carolina rig low rider for fishing my smaller jugs...

As numbers go I would compare it to like a 102.5 in numbers so yes, I used to use the 104.5 until the SB-4 came out, I use mainly 3/4-1oz and the 104 is to light for me.

13 fishing 7'3" Heavy Envy Black.
My favorite C-rig/football jig rod.

Impulse 79H mod fast Randy Haynes signature series ledge rod. best c-rig rods have a softer tip on it with heavy backbone this allows you to chunk the bait along ways and hammer the hook home when you use a sweeping hookset.

He said c-rig not punching grass Andrew

I use a Cara Amistad.

Thanks, guess I need to add to the arsenal. Any of the new models fit the bill?

I really like the Dobyns Champion 804C as well. I have a 784 Extreme and I have thought about trying it out as a C Rig rod but I cant stop throwing jigs on it long enough to give it a shot.

this is my all time favorite c rig rod. I put a mint E7 curado spoiled with some 25# seaguar and it works great.

Love my Castaway Work Horse

^^^^^^^

Shocked this one isn't mentioned more. This is the one I use.

GLoomis NRX Carolina Rig rod is what I use.

The Falcon Lowrider in the Lizard Dragger 1 model works really, really well. Heavier creature baits or BIG worms? Try the Lizard Dragger 2 model. Really nice sensitive rods and not stupid expensive.

Just looked in the boat...Abu Garcia Veritas 2.0 VRTC79-7 7'9" Heavy

That's the one I used this year. I C-Rig every trip.

I have to agree...Dobyns Champion 804 C

25lb is to much don’t wanna hurt the fish on the Hook set,

Are you sure your just not jealous about the mint e7?

St. Croix Legend Tournament (TBC73MHF) Carolina rig rod. Its GREAT for C-Riggin, but so many other techniques as well. Its kind of a multi-purpose for me.

I will give another vote for the 804C

http://dobynsrods.com/rod/804c

I really like my 804C. It will launch anything from 3/4-1 oz into orbit. Easy to fish with all day since its well balanced. Doubles as a small swimbait and football jig rod for me.

I agree with the above post and I'll also include swimjigs and larger chatterbait/paddletail combinations.
Extremely versatile stick.

I picked up a Dobyns FURY 7'6" Med Heavy...We will see how she does.

I like the 784 quite a bit for a C-rig rod so I bought 3 of them but that was before the 804 came out.

Power Tackle SB-4 is my favorite!
If your interested in any PT Rod contact me and I can save you %10

McCain Hi-Performance fishing rod has a rod in the premium series. It’s the 7’-3” Carolina magnum. It’s a heavy action rod that is phenomenal for Carolina rigs..I love it! If you’d like a little longer rod, the Alabama flipping rod is very similar, just 3” longer.

My neighbor gave me a Falcon C-rig rod for Christmas. Free is a great kind of rod.
