Looking for Recomendations for a JDM Bigbait rod

Post by G40 » Sun Oct 18, 2020 11:07 pm

Looking for your thoughts on a JDM big bait rod for a 4-8oz rating and under 8 feet.

I am currently fishing a wild Lures - Prest 2 piece. This thing is a fun rod to fish due to its shortness and ability to fish tight to cover. But it has no tip action and feels akin to a Tuna rod.

I'm pairing it up with a Abu Revo Big shooter Compact 8. and 20lb Floro.

Megabass TS Destroyer King of Baccarat

It's 7'8" and will handle those baits.

TS78X Baccarat 7'8" Ex-Heavy Med-Fast 20-40lb 4-10oz

TS78X+ King Of Baccarat 7'8" Ex-Heavy Med-Fast 16-40lb 3-15oz

What is the major differences between these 2 rods? Is the King of Baccarat more Parabolic when it loads up?

to me the major difference is the handle. the Baccarat has to me too short of a handle the king is much longer

i also heard that the king has a bit softer tip. i would get with ben @hookup he can shoot a video of them for you with the bend

but the handle length is what lead me to the King

This stick is the best of both worlds... USDM but made by a Japanese manufacturer.
