Kistler Alabama Rig Rod

[BigG]

Looking at their 7 6 Al Rig Rod. This rod has a moderate action. What do you guys think of this action for A-rigs? I already own a bunch of Kistler rods, and love them. Mostly interested in what action to use.

Hey there I just got a Kistler Z-bone Umbrella Rig Special last Wednesday I just got out on the water this past week, and it is sweet rod!!! I know you have to take my testimony with a grain of salt, but it has a nice softer action and great feel as far as sensitivity goes. Oh and for a 7'6" heavy action rod it very light! I have mine paired up with a Okuma Komodo and wow great combo for throwing the Alabama Rig!

Rob, Do you think this rod would work well for big topwater lures ( over 2 ozs) with braided line.

Oh absoulutly!! I tied on a frog to see what else I might use the Kistler Z-bone Umbrella Rig Rod for and it's great for frogs and swimbaits!! The rod is rated up to 4oz so it will handle a 2oz top water just fine. I throw my A-rig on braid as well as my frogs and it's flawless!!
