#1756, "RE: which one is the best for swimbait & big bait ?" In response to In response to 1
If you fish a lot and you have the money I would go with a Loomis. BBR964,965,966 can't beat any of them. I think the 965 is a good all around swimbait rod.
I have no expierence with Okuma rods but everyone one here seems to like them. I have used a couple of the Crucial swimbait rods and they aren't that bad either. So good luck choosing and hope you stick some on whatever you end up with :-)
