Canal Stick

[pmbrac]

If I could only have one canal stick, I would chose the xra 126 1mh.. Love that rod!! very versatile for the canal.

Question...What is your current setup that you you plan to replace?

[cableguy]

my current spinning set up is a 9 1/2' Team Diawa rod and a Shimano Stradic 6000....its my favorite set up...works fantastic of the beaches and in the bays, I can throw plugs a long ways with it but I just got overmatched in the Canal, lost a couple really big fish last week......I mean ......like the biggest fish I have ever hooked into...

I want to be able to throw anything from shads to Sebiles with it...

What is it rated for? I do not see a 9.5' if I do a search but the 9' is rated 1-5oz.

For an all around canal rod I would go with a GSB1201m it can handle anything you want to throw and stop a good fish.

To master the canal rod you pretty much need 2 rods.
rainshadow 1209 for jiggin
ron arra for plugs


With that said i have used the 1209 for sebiles,shads,plugs and mainly jiggs. The 1209 still throws a plug pretty good.

They run for 200.00 and have all th eback bone you need to turn those big girls
