SWC SJR 732-1

The MBR 7108 is an amazingly versatile rod. Despite the power behind this rod, the tip is softer than other heavy rods, making it flexible enough to cast Carolina rigs or jigs. Anglers also use it with great success slow rolling oversized spinnerbaits, pitching jigs, and muscling largemouth out of deep-water weedbeds. Muskie fisherman use it for big bucktail spinners. Salmon anglers backbounce bait with it. And the saltwater crowd even uses it for tarpon and large snook. All in all, it is an excellent fishing tool; its only limit may be the lack of time you have to chase after all those different species. 

Just when you think you’ve got everything covered, somebody invents a new technique or revives an old one. In this case, it is a little bit of both. Caroline-rigged plastic worms require a bit longer rod to handle the long leaders associated with the technique, while deep-water jig fishing is much easier with a long rod because it increases the leverage during the hook set and moves more line. The MBR 733 is excellent for both applications. Not to mention the new oversized crankbaits that anglers have incorporated to reach deep ridges and mid-lake humps. While you want a lighter tip to allow the plug to wobble enticingly, you also want a little extra backbone to handle the larger baits like the ⅝ ounce Fat Free Shad or the big Bombers. It is a matter of leverage, and this rod makes the job a lot easier.
