what wt. plug for XRA 1322-2
I have had this blank for years and never did finish wrapping it but after doing a search I am unsure of what weight plugs I should use with it. I am pairing it up with a conventional reel to fish the ditch. I am going to the MSBA show tomorrow and if I might try to get to SWE to hear D.J. Any advice on plugs to purchase would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance, Ed

It handles 4 no problem, and I wouldn't hestitate to throw 5 if it was the only rod I had with me, and I needed to throw 5. It doesn't really like throwing 5, but mine's 13 seasons old and still in one piece  |

I'm with Mike P.
I use the 1322-2 a lot. 2-4oz lures with 145's 220, 229, 7000, 7500, 6500, and a 525.
Great Rod. I used it some down at the outer banks with 5oz and bait and had no problems.
Mine has stood up extremly well.

I cant use a spinning reel due to one finger that dose not bend and when reeling it has come in contact with the bail assembly(penn750ss) and it felt like I hit it with a hammer; even split it open once that way.
