| Looking at getting a bulldawg monster magnum rated for 11-40 oz baits and putting a toro s60 on it. Anyone have this rod? Would i be able to double this rod for rubber and big bucktails? Or would it be too heavy for DCGs and similar baits? Any thoughts on the S60 for rubber?
U have the S 60 on my bucktail rod and love it.

| Now also looking at the TI pounder rod. But more importantly, how will the S60 handle rubber? |

Location: Contrarian Island | agree with Steve, I have a toro rocket and so far I really like it.. have used it for big jerks and rubber, picks up line fast and seems well built... I also throw rubber with the Tranx 500 hg, I put a Daiwa Lexa double paddle handle on it (prefer that for rubber vs power handle) .. love it..but it is quite a bit heavier than the Rocket.. and is somewhat noticeable... not sure how the Rocket power handle will hold up to a big hookset yet...  |
