Should I just use a med-med/hvy bass rod or have any of you used a 6 footer you liked? Trying to get it spread 18, 14, 10 and 6

Just whatever, ones I have are Med action, I really like the spread the way you describe and then I push with 2 14 foot Fire Cast
Mo , i'm useing 5'6 slab shakers ( medium light action) as my inside poles and love them, they have the same tip action and load up the same as my 9ft and 12ft slab shakers.
Mo, I use a mix of old bass rods. I like Med to Medlight action best. Tip will let you know bait is doing it's thing or if you get trash on it. Have some Med Heavy ones I use but little to stiff in the tip.
ugly sticks work good
G oughta have some of these laying around as many that has done fell on him!!!!!!!:Rofl:RoflQuote:

I may just try the old bass rods I have, then search Wally World for some ugly sticks. Thanks for the input
Ugly Stiks are tough nuggets. The only rods I found undamaged after the tornado were 3 Ugly Stiks. I found the butts sticking out from underneath a wall. Grabbed them and pulled'em out, with just a couple bent guides. It impressed me.
Yep, one of mine is an Ugly stick. Never cared for it as the tip was a bit whippy... Works great for cranking though.
I use a Trolling Pole from Cabelas called a Whoopin Stick. They have models specifically for Trolling. I think Ugly Stick makes them. You can catch em on sale for around 20 bux. They're whippy like Carl said but I've been pulling with them for 4-5 years, and they will work with the planer boards too.
I haven't tried them in my trash compactor like Ugly Sticks commercial used to show. :)
