I am looking for a rod in the 7-10 8' Range basicly to throw Matts 6" Trouts and mabey Reaction strike 6" those type of baits I mainly use a flipping stick but would like something with a longer and 1 pice butt section I have the revolver swimbait rod 8' H and would really like something like that with a ex. fast action insted of a moderate one I am looking for more of a high end rod and do not want an okuma I dont really like them.... So can anyone give me some suggestions 8' H extra fast action long butt section finger touches the blank under the reel seat as light as possible???

Sorry I picky Thanks in advance guys :+

Yeah, check out the Dobyns 806 ML SB or the 806 H SB.
They're both 8', exposed, blank under the reel seat, longer handles, and should fit what you're looking for exactly. The Mike Long version has the Hypalon butt section, the 806H has the Cork butt section.

I have to agree with Supermatt, Both those rod choices are spot on :-) . I have the 806H and it is an extremely nice big bait rod and will handle all the big baits nicely, I am using the Dobyn's 795ML for Matt Lures, Basstrix, Mission fish size baits and it is very very nice :-) Hope it helps

are those rods a fast or ex fast action?

That's a pretty subjective rating but according to the website they're "fast". Get one in your hands and you'll love it.

Thanks Matt I will definatley look into them does anyone know if fishermens carries them or anywhere in sacramento?

You can drive up to Galixie Marine in Newcastle they have the Dobyns rods. You may want to check out their 7'9 MH rod it looked very sweet for the smaller swimbaits.

Hey TM
I know Fisherman's Warehouse in Rocklin had an 806h and sportsman's warehouse had the ML795 and 806. I don't know about the Sacramento location. Check out these rods. They're both fantastic and sound like they're exactly what you're looking for.

Lamiglas big bait special is more than perfect for the 6" baits

I used to think the Lamiglas XC807 was the shiznit. That was until I got the Dobyns ML795. The ML795 makes the Lamiglas feel like a club and I mean significant difference in weight as well as balance. Make no mistake about it the Lamiglas Big Bait rod is a great rod tho.
