Location: Beaver County, Pennsylvania | is that big dawg too much for blades or jerkbaits? i wouldnt think so. i think i want to go that route so i have the option of throwing heavy rubbers if i choose to.

Location: Kodiak, AK | Nope, the Dawg throws blades fine. I normally use my Sling Blade for them, but if I'm on the Dawg and want to toss some blades real quick, I'll put them on and it feels great. If I could have on LT, it'd be the Big Dawg. Awesome rod! |

| I bought a slingblade and a top n tail last year for a tournament and all I could find in stock were the splits so I bought them with a lot of reservations. After a half day I got used to the exposed blank and fell in love with slightly longer handle to the point that my full grip rods don't feel right anymore. When I go to cast I am reachign for that extra inch of butt handle thats not there.
They are a little awkward to get used to at first, but I love them at this point and never use my full grips anymore.
A St croix rep told me that if you palm the reel you will love the split grip once you get used to it, if you hold the foregrip you will hate them and wish you had a full cork. Makes sense to me.
