I'm also gonna be using swimbaits this year. I bought a Berkley Lightning Rod $60, that rod is designed specifically for braided lines. And I bought a Team Diawa 100 SH reel to put on it $120. Got rod and reel at Bass Pro Shop. Can't wait to use it spring is almost here. Good Luck this season.

How big of lure can i the rod handle, i need one that is rated at least to 4-5 ounces

I use a Okuma Reflections it is a 6 1/2 foot spinning split butt rod that is quite sturdy but you are probably looking for one a little stronger yet in the catalog that I bought it from there where different sizes and lengths so check it out.

i was looking for a 7 foot rod or a 7'10 rod

Yea I agree with bassallyear, skeet Reese rods work great and are low priced...... You should get the swimbait/Carolina rig rod its 7 ft 6 in, so u got plenty of length there. The Abu Garcia skeet Reese reel is sick. It's 250 on eBay.

Okuma makes a rod it has i believe 2 7'6 models and like 5 7'11s and looks pretty sweet, i was gonna get one but decided not to. it is called the Okuma Big Bait Special avaliable at Tackle Warehouse

Do not buy the skeet rods.Those are for his specs not your.Use a 7'6".Please dont waste ur money the first 2 guide inserts will break out.I have an 8 ft model and its use for flipping but its to stiff for a swimbait.U need a little give for a swimbait fish. a flipping rod is going to be to stiff.Please just watch my video,comment see if u like it but see what ur getting first.Dont just go out and buy the biggest on u can find.That would be really dumb.

I have a 7 6 set up with the skeet Reese reel and skeet Reese rod so far it's a all around great combo but swimbaits are my favorite. I would say yes get the skeet Reese rod baitcaster kind, and get a 7 6 it's perfect for what you like. Also if you can afford it, get the skeet Reese reel it's sweet.

I got the Medium heavy rod i don't know if it would be good for that heavy of a bait. If you went with the Heavy action you would probably be ok. But hell i dont care i'll throw a freakin boat anker with this one if it will catch me a bass lol.

i have a g. loomis glx bait caster rod and a quantum response baitcaster, works for me i just use a rod that matches the lure weights i use for it and the length i keep minimum like 6 foot dont need that exspensive of a rod i just have mine cuz my dad baught it like 6 years back and never used it. the rod is awsome... just go with a rod that you feel is right like to me the g. loomis are a third arm to me cuz ive used g.loomis rods since i was able to walk

[layschips11]

a baitcaster is definately a must i would go with a good baitcaster with about 20 lb florocarbon or monofilament with a 7 foot or bigger heavy action trigger rod
