American Rodsmith - Can these saltwater rods be used for freshwater?

These were my uncles rods. I cannot find anything on these rods. They are salt water rods, but I was thinking I can use them for freshwater. Any thoughts on this?

100% YES

No the freshwater will melt them.

Haha, I guess I asked for that. I mean is there any performance reason those rods would not work as well as a "bass" rod.

As long as you only use 4# line, tiny 1" grubs, and fish from a small Jon boat you will be fine. Otherwise you are just trying to be a "He Man"

That going to go over the heads of some.

Does it say salt water rod on it somewhere?

Dang haha, ok yall have made yourself clear. Saltwater only LOL.

those look just like my rodsmith bass rods, have one in the mh/fast and still use it off and on after about 15 yrs. of having it.

Just curious - graphite or fiberglass? I fished with a 50 year old glass rod recently and liked it.

You can absolutely use those rods for fresh water. They may not be stiff enough to use as a worm rod but it is impossible to tell without handling one.

Just looking at the label on them the top one looks like it would be a good rod for crankbaits & spinnerbaits. The bottom rod has a lower weight rating but should still be good for treble hooked baits. You don't need a rod with a lot of backbone for treble hooked lures.

I don't think either one of them are stiff enough to adequately set the hook with a Texas rigged or C-rigged soft plastic bait.

just wow...

It will get some looking for the post that explains it!

Won't be able to find them. Seems Goober (GRUBEN) got banned and his entertaining threads did too.

What?

McGruber is gone!

Well at least we know it wasn't Big 0!
