Deadbait wobbling rod
I have a couple of Korum All Rounder rods, 1.5TC would these be ok for wobbling small deadbaits, bear in mind these roads will stop a double figure barbel

Its not that I don't rate the Korum allrounders as I have a set myself and love using them for Perch,Tench and the odd small Carp but I wouldn't use them for Pike.

Re: Deadbait wobbling rod
It depends on the water you fish and if your on the bank or a boat.
For years I used a 10ft Avon with sprats and single hook rig and never lost a fish because of its lack of power. Hooking was just a case of letting the fish turn away pointing the tip down the line (8lb mono) and using the butt to pull the hook in.
The majority of my piking is wobbling and these days I use a P2.

In the early '60's rods were glass or cane with ferrules, wire was Alasticum, only the sprats were superior.

Re: Deadbait wobbling rod
You can almost use anything but to chuck wobbled deads really needs something very soft in the top section or you will get through baits very fast. Soft in the top and a bit of grunt from the mid to the butt. Mr. Lumb makes the Duellist which is great and available in differing casting weights, other rods from lesser stables are available.

Re: Deadbait wobbling rod
I use my medium lure rod. 8ft, maybe 40-80g rated. Keep the lure trace on, just clip on an additional short wobbling mini-trace.

Re: Deadbait wobbling rod
Probably more out of sentimentality but I like the ole Wilson specialists for wobbling, they are 11 foot pound and three quarter test and if I’m honest softer than baby poo. Wouldn’t want a big fish on one though and I have to strike relatively hard to set hooks with them but don’t cast off to many baits, I tend to use coarse baits for wobbling. No doubt there are far more effective rods for the job though!

Re: Deadbait wobbling rod
depends on what rods you have with you when you decide to wobble your baits , i would say 2lb upwards myself , but have used lighter when the opportunity presents its self .....

Re: Deadbait wobbling rod
Maybe not ideal but Im sure they will be ok and really depends on where you are going to use them and bait size, so have a go!
