7'5" Lunakia - Suggestions and a review?
Hi All. I think I have the U/L pretty much covered with my 632 Lunakia and TSS rod. What I think I’m missing is a more all around rod that can do many things well, and some things great. I have considered the 610 Lunakia, but think it may be a little too close to what I already have. I am thinking of the 7’5” Luna, which is rated at MMH with a tubular tip. It is still pretty light in weight, and would be easy to fish long sessions with. This rod will be used primarily for stream fishing, occasional lake bank fishing and would be a go to when water conditions are high and heavier jigs/hard baits are needed. Here are some of the applications:
Higher water conditions.
Float/Slip Bobbers. This is for very rocky bottom shallow water conditions, and also for moss/stream snot conditions (most of the summer) which require the lures to be easily kept off the bottom and still allow a nice natural slow drift over the target areas.
A rod good for wade fishing (most of the time) and bank fishing. Prime Bank fishing areas are on slower moving and deeper sections of the stream, and near shore are guarded by a lot of downed wood. There are plenty of fish in there, but the longer reach of the rod and the ability to easily handle a float with jig or fly is a must, otherwise a frustration of no fun fishing hang-ups, etc.
Can handle floats/slips, hard baits, small spoons, light jigs 1/32 (1/64 jig with TM) and heavier.
Will be used on pans, crappie, smallies, put and take trout, and in the bank fishing areas small cats are possible. I realize the heavier action will give up some of the fun factor with the smaller fish, but I want it to still be enjoyable.
I am interested if anyone has experience with the 752 Luna, or something similar. I’m trying to avoid being over gunned, but at the same time not giving up too much fun. A compromise. Again, an all around rod.
Thanks for any feedback or ideas.
Bob
