A sword to cut pads

[goldrod]

I have not mastered the art of swim jigs nor do I purposely go after a rod because it is diverse or multipurpose. And I don’t ever want to give you information prematurely so with all that being said

If your looking for a swim jig rod the Gan craft dead sword is a rod that I have found can do alot of things but since I have been using it for fishing swimming jigs my frequency of getting bit , size of the bass and just overall land ratio has gotten so good that I have to share. You will not be disappointed

Dang...while those Gan Craft rods are incredible pieces, but not necessarily easy to acquire either.

How does the blank perform in comparison to say other known Megabass, Evergreen, or a GLoomis or Daiwa rod? Also, what line are you using, and what reel?

Man I absolutely love this rod especially because it just has not failed to come through. I still throw swimbaits on it hard and soft but I’ve also caught brutes on the evoke 120 with it and on a whim I started throwing some JDM swimming jigs with various trailers. Just the right amount to top section and even though it FEELS STOUT ( it doesn’t have power make no mistake about it) it has an that allows fish to take the lure and the rod will bow to the fish while the power pulls the fish in. I’m extremely happy with this 7’1” rod

Sensitivity wise it’s not an off the charts sensitive rod but I know wha the lure is doing and especially since fishing a swim jig I know if the cover is grass are some hard stuff.
Compared to and evergreen it’s not evergreen sensitive but it’s not a bottom contact rod either

I'm thinking that my TKIC Super Stallion would do heavier 1/2 + Swimjigs well, for 1/4 I like a med power with braid or the very special taper of the Lamiglas Infinity 873, although 3/8-1/2 falls into the wheelhouse of the LWL Super Diablo II very well.
