Looking for a 9-10ft Broomstick

[BigJeff823]

Im looking for a 2 pice short heaver thats rated to toss 6-12oz with XHeavy action; in the 9-10ft range.It doesnt matter if it is a conventional or a Spinner.I'm going to use it for Black Drum and Tautog at the jetties.I wanna horse fish out of their homes.:cool:

Jeff,

That's overkill! Any 9' stick that can handle up to 3 oz should works for tog or drum off the jetties. I use a Tica 9' rated 1/2-3 oz and a Nautil with 30 lb test Stealth for all my jetty work and lure casting. Most I would go with is a 10' but still light enough to double as a surf rod...You will not have a need to cast 6-12 oz on the jetty IMHO...

[BigJeff823]

But I need a rod with power;but my 10' 2-8ozTica is fine but I want to horse fish out of thier homes.I want to be able to control a 65lb Black Drum in swift crrents.

If ya talking th old Hatteras heavers its prolly gonna be a 1piece. Got one that I just sold an its a 1 piece.

Like the one I used for tuna fishing when I lived in San Diego.. It's 8'10" long, handles 20-40 lb test and up to 12 oz. I used it to sling 7 oz Krocodyles for feeding tuna, barracuda, and mackeral. It was made by Saber and has no reel seat just a long cork grip handle. It ran about $100. Look into the Saber models if that is what you really want - It is a conventional rod.

[BigJeff823]

Yeah,that could work but,It would be better if it was near 10'.Conventional would be fine too.Considering your best heavier rods are Conventional.I think Sabers are a little on the bulky side.If Lamiglas makes one I might take it;they're known for not so bulky rods along with some others.I still prefer Spinners but a Conventional will work.

The beefstick is an awesome rod for the quality and the price.. you can get one for 20$$ and it has alot of a$$... but what ur lookin for is what I have just bought.. a stump heaver or to some a ol' hatteras heaver... im putting a sl50shx on it and fishing for shark.. not drum.. if u want them drum go for a Tica.. with a sl30sh or 525 mag.. my 2 cents tightlines..

cause you're never gonna catch a thing! You are all talk and no bite. What do you think you work at Bass Pro or something?

:p

[Bonito6t9]

Some guys at Bass Pro couldn't tell their a$$ from a hole in the ground... and actually the manager of Bass Pro asked me if I wanted a job there and I turned them down b/c of the driving distance...

[HuskyMD]

Bonito,
THAT's HILARIOUS! Did you know BigJeff works at Bass Pro? That's who I was talking to in my post (I'd never direct mud at someone I don't know without provocation). Maybe BigJeff is one that doesn't know holes in the ground!

[chest2head&glassy]

cause you're never gonna catch a thing! You are all talk and no bite. Do we see another Challenge coming up at AI? :)

[BigJeff823]

Trying to hit below the belt;aint cha.:p That some $^*t;) .You know you gotta try better than that kid;or your going to lose.

[HuskyMD]

Can I have my croaker back now?
HAHAHAHAH
Just kidding...sorry about the mudslinging...just some friendly prefishing fun. Hope to fish with ya at least once this year.

[BigJeff823]

I know your messing with me;my boss does this to me all the time at work.Hell of a setup in our bathroom there;lotion and a swimsuit mag.The sick people I have working with me;maybe trying to set me up:rolleyes:I now clean the boats over there at BPS.

[BigJeff823]

Is there any more choices for a 2 pice 9-10ft broomstick that can handle 6-12oz.:rolleyes:

[sand flea]

Have you tried the 12' Ticas? They're very slow action, beefy rods. Not like the Breakaways or Okumas or Sealines. Give one a throw. I'm considering using one paired up with a Slosh as my next heavy heaver.

They don't load that great, but they have a serious backbone. Now if you want a true telephone pole, talk to Digger about his Overman.

[BigJeff823]

12' is too long but Sandcrabs Tuna Stick would be a better choice.Hows the 10' 4-8oz Oceanmaster?A 10'er is the longest rod I need for the Jetty.
