[QUOTE="Migrator Man, post: 304844, member: 2369"] Picked up a cheap 7’ medium heavy combo on a work trip because I wanted to do some fishing. This Diawa combo was only $19.99 and is a two piece. Didn’t catch anything with it but it fished pretty well for a very cheap combo. I’m trying to figure out how to rig one of my new Gloomis rods I got last year. It is a 6’8” medium heavy with and extra fast action. I was not the biggest fan using it for bb trolling. I was thinking of using it for heavy swim baits or possibly fishing Rippin raps or heavy glide baits. I know the masters say to use a lighter action with mono to keep fish hooked up on jigging raps but wouldn’t a heavy power rod handle those heavy jigging raps better and wouldn’t that extra power drive those hooks deeper so the fish stays on better? It going to be hard for me to ever spool a rod with anything other than braid. Advice anyone? [/QUOTE]
