capecodsmallie Posted March 2, 2004 Report Share Posted March 2, 2004 I was wondering if anyone here knew of(or makes) a good stitchin' rod. According to Bill Murphy he uses a 2 piece 7'6" fiberglass rod. He state in his book"A good stitching rod needs a slower flexible tip section to generate the whip action necessary to cast a light rig a long distance even into strong wind, and because most of the pressure that comes from battling a big bass,or setting the hook, is placed on the middle of the rod, a stitching rod should flex parabolically with the power generadted from the middle and not solely from the butt section." The rods need to handle 8-12lb line. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nerdy Posted March 4, 2004 Report Share Posted March 4, 2004 sounds like the clarus or compre from shimano could do the trick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
