Just got into throwing some pounders from regular size bulldawgs. What rods do you guys recommend for throwing pounders here and there? I won't be throwing them all day.

Looking for something semi reasonable in price.

Thanks!

I would look into a Bull Dawg rod. There lower end rods are very reasonable in price.

The bull dawg predator and the thorn bros predator are 2 different rods one each end of the spectrum. If your not going to use it much I would get rather a Ti rod or the bull dawg between the 2 i would go with the bull dawg.

The tixxxh is a great 2 pounder rod, almost overkill for pounders, makes casting them too easy lol

The tixxh does launch them great and is a more multipurpose rod, i have both and use the xxxh for 20oz+ baits most of the time

I have a tixxxh and I think its its too stiff for pounders the rod barely loads. Like someone said more of a two pounder rod go with a xxh rod. You will have less fatigue the rod does most of the work not the other way around.

If your looking for a rod strictly for pounders and big rubber,,take into consideration the size of the guides,,wider diameter is better and in this case I think less is better because a lot of this is in late season and possible freezing guides,,after all your basically lobbing them out.

Ti xxxh is to stiff for pounders in my opinion, the xxh throws them with with little effort. 2 pounders, yes go with xxh.
