Re: Black Widow 703
Yup...
Excellent rod, more of a ML+ or Med than a ML power. i think it's more of a 3/16-1/2oz range myself. Very sensitive and balanced and 7' length is a good length for both distance and tight accuracy. Caught my PB rock bass at just over 11" the other day stream fishing with it on 10lb fluoro and a 3/16 tungsten bullet with a 3.75" Grandebass baby rattlesnake. In fairly heavy current i could feel the the water rushing past the line playing it like a guitar string. I could feel everything on the bottom despite the water flow.
Other than my little jigs the MBR taper lends it to quite a few techniques in its weight range. I've used it with 4-5" weightless senkos and have used some 1/4oz topwaters with it. It's paired with an alphas ct.

Re: Black Widow 703
My initial impressions coincide with what your saying as far as weight. I do think it's more in the 1/2 range on the upper side.ss30378 wrote: ↑Tue Oct 26, 2021 9:26 amYup...
