    Rod recommendation....

    I've been using an 8' Blair Wiggins signature rod.... heavy, xtra fast, for throwing xraps and other plugs. I have it paired with a battle 4000 and 15lb braid. I'm not happy with this rod and am thinking of getting a moderate rod, thinking that it will do a better job on distance -- this rod just doesn't seem to "load up" well for casting, though I love the light weight. It may be something I'm doing wrong....

    Any suggestion on a better rod for xrap chucking? Custom or store bought....

    Buy a custom or store bought from J&M on your next trip down.
    You know the story, just tell John what you're looking for.
