While I dont have the stick you reviewed reading that
it will make a good swim bait stick is something to consider because that would mean that it would be a ultra good
swim jig rod?

Not sure about "ultra-good" but the WSC72H+ but I can't think of a reason why the WSC72H+ couldn't perform well as a swim jig rod. Just depends on the total weight of your bait setup.

I was thinking 3/8 swim jig plus trailer and whatever that comes to weigh. I am not the best swim jig guy but from my experience on the St. John’s and fishing pads with a swim jig
3/8 has been my most productive but when you get bit he’s going straight down to the heart of the pads. If you don’t have the muscle stick you can forget about it.

Now This Stick Is Legit : The Wild Side WSC72H+



Introduction: In the JDM spectrum of bass rods, there exists one spec that is seemingly as dominant over there as the "medium heavy" is here. I call it the JDM wonder-spec. It is that stick measuring seven foot (plus or minus a few inches) that's able to handle two to three ounces or more in lure weight. Evergreen International, Megabass, Gan Craft all have contenders in this spec, and from what I can tell, all are wildly popular. Here in the States, to have a chance at being properly appreciated, a similarly rated stick from one of our established rod manufacturers needs to be at least seven foot, four inches (7'-4") in length, but preferably somewhere in the seven foot, eight inch (7'-8") range or more. US anglers, just prefer longer fishing rods.

I used to be in this camp, but past experience with rods like Evergreen's Super Stallion, Megabass's X4 Destruction, and more recently Evergreen's Black Rose and Gan Craft's Dead Sword turned my thinking around. The convenience of having a shorter stick that can handle long rod duties is increasingly appealing. Today, we look at a stick from yet another Japanese manufacturer that does not actually come with that specification, but to my surprise, slides right in comfortably. Here's Legit Design's Wild Side WSC72H+.

The answer to your question is in the article...

"On the other end of that lure range, SeventyTwo-Plus's blank can realistically handle baits up to six ounces (6oz), but because its handle is so short at only eleven inches (11"), casting a 6oz bait is not a very sustainable. You just can't get sufficient leverage with a bait that heavy, and everything feels awkward. A full day casting something up to four ounces (4oz) is much more realistic."

Seriously... if it was inferred from lab tests, I would say so.

I just bought one at full TW retail which I never do. I couldn't find it anywhere else especially Japan. I used the TT link to give them some ad revenue too. They only had 3 left and no where else had them. FOMO set in and full retail it was

I also have a purple lexa 300 I paid Tatula 300 money for that I will put on it. I bought it for the purple parts but its not the normal shade of diawa purple so I'm stuck with it or sell it as a massive loss. Might as well put it to work. Seems to be significantly more sturdy than a Tatula 200 at least.

Plan is for this rod and reel to slot in above my Hyuga 72H that taps out at 2.7 oz. Something to throw bjg baits out of the Kayak that the Hyuga can't handle at 3+ oz. My Super Destruction is what I normally use as a step up over the Hyuga but its a little long to wield at the shoreline seated in a kayak plus its too high end to be in the kayak anyways.

Koolio! Please keep us posted after you get some time on the water with it.
