i have 4 of these

2 of the 79 Heavy Swimbait rods

7ft medium all around spinning rod

72 mh shakey head spinning rod

rods are light, sensitive and for the money i am happy with them.

i kinda of prefer the 79's over my mark 48, i mainly fish either shiners or bull gills on them

i use the spinning rods for lots of stuff and paired them up with kage spinning reels, great little combo's
Would the 79 Heavy Swimbait rod be ideal for throwing a Megabass Megadog?


So I personally haven't thrown anything that heavy with my 79 Kage, i really just use it for 6inch bullshad and 6inch bull gills

I actually just go my first megadog in this week so i am new to that bait

i am going to throw it on either the ts destroyer blackjack or another great rod is the new megabass multipiece valkyrie 711 its a touch more than the kage but i would probably get that for an all around swimbait rod at $350 over the kage at $200 i feel its worth the money especially if you want to throw 4 to 5.5 oz baits

it is also super nice to have a multipiece swimbait rod
Thanks for the quick feedback. I'll check out the Valkyrie. Let me know how you like the bait. Im wanting to get into big topwaters

I had the 7-foot 3in medium-heavy all around Rod. I absolutely loved the blank. However, like one of the other reviews it was desperately in need of one or more guides. Additionally, the build Aesthetics were very plain and I felt lacking at the price point. More so than anything was the simple plastic locking nut for the real that would show exposed threads when fully lockdown.
