    Arig Rod

    Well I broke my Arig rod this weekend from a rough boat ride on KY lake and a cooler landing on it haha Any recommendations for a good Arig rod? I was actually gonna be in the market for one anyway.

    Daiwa Kage 79MHRB is just an awesome A-rig, glide bait, swim bait type rod. I have mine paired with a Tatula 300HL, but it pairs nicely with the 150/200 sized Tatula as well. It has a nice long handle, loads up great, and is a lot of fun to fish.

    I have a 794SB and 795SB - both are awesome for chucking the chandeliers!

    I use the 795 SB Dobyns for the big stuff as well. I have chucked a Jr./3-bait version around on the Steez AGS 7'4" XH (I still call it the frog rod) and it feels light and really comfortable...

    It's almost that time!

    ALX Rods IKOS Thunder - 7'6"
    ALX Rods ZOLO PowerBolt - 7'11"

    Both rods are very effective at handling A-Rigs, especially when you are having multiple fish load up on them. They also cross over effectively for other uses - deep cranks, swimbaits, punching, flipping - for when you aren't tossing the ARig.

    Gotta agree with Gary 100% on this. For the price and warranty, this rod is tough to beat. Been using mine for about 8 months and I’m fixing to order another one just for swimbaits. It also throws magnum deep divers like 8XD, 10XD and Megabass Big M with ease!

    I use a few for that technique. The Phenix Recon Elite is great for the A-rig. Also the 7' 7"H Expride as well. The Dobyns 795sb is also another good one I use.
    Troll lightly and carry a big flippin stick!!!
