Spiderrig poles

[Jig Puller]

Me to I been using 1-2 oz trolling speed at .8 to 1.12

I just looked up the denalis and the rod weight only goes up to 3/4 max to me that's not enough weight for wind especially 15 mph wids or better. Have tried to put weight in the front of your boat like a cooler full of water , five gallon buckets of water and your weight to help with the wind rocking your rods up and down especially in your aluminum boat some time I will put a 48qt cooler with water in it to help with the up and down motion. Just asking

No haven't tried it,have moved trolling batteries up front though.Believe new poles will do the trick from what I've compared so far.I may just buy 4 poles at the grizzly show to get me by for now,usually only spiderrig 4 anyway.Later in the year try to fish with someone with different brand poles and carry mine along and cmpare,if I find something better buy a full set later in the year.

Sounds like a plan. You'll figure it out

Denalis

they really shine in the wind.

Can you describe how the Denali is "reacting" differently than other rods in the wind ...??

That's what I'm afraid of,wish the denali's where a little cheaper.Ive fished one time with denali's and it was windy and they performed good.But it's easier to tell the difference when you mix in another brand of rod.The waves will tell you which one is best.

I was perfectly happy with my southern's until I made the mistake of going fishing with Ree's. He just had to have me fish with them white poles. Now I'm a owner. Won't give up my southern's but sure ain't getting rid of the Denalli's either. If you want to your more than welcome to take my set and fish them for a while if you want. I could meet you somewhere up the rd. In fact I just remembered I have a couple of spares you could take and use for your comparison long as you wanted.

Rickie, my experience with the southern's ( which I love ) is the tips have a tendency in high wind to whip around quite a bit compared to the Denalli. My 16's were so bad I got rid of them. They would actually form a S bend from tip back into second rod section. 14 not quite as bad but still move side to side quite a bit. I am just supposing it has something to do with material they are made of and how they are wound to make them so tuff. Now it has to be pretty breeze for this to happen but it can be agrivating at times. Don't find it at all with the Denalli.

None of them say they are good up to 3lbs but we all swing the fish in all the time. Also you can try tying a 5 gallon bucket to each side of the front of your boat and drag them in the water it helps with the up and down without adding lots of weight.

Does this mean the Denali is simply "stiffer" at the tip ...??
