What do you guys think the best rod for useing senkos on?

If you want the absolute best then I would say a Dobyns DX 743 or a DX 744

You won't find a lighter, better balanced rod.
Go to your nearest tackle dealer and compare it with any other rod.

Powell 765 Flippin Stick for grass/heavier cover

I gotta agree with Mike here. You wont find a better rod out there then the suggested rod here.

I have all powells but I do have one dobyns and it is the gen1 734. I have stuck and landed more fish, with all size senkos, on that dang dobyns. I am thrilled with my powells for every other techn., but i know when i pick up that 1 rod with a senko im getn bit and the fish is comn in the boat. Don't ask me why... prolly just all in my head.

Any rod that is 7'2"-7'4" that is power 4 or 5.

You are going to be hard pressed to find any rod more sensitive at feeeeeling the bite than a GLX 853. You can feel any pickup even with a big wind bow in the line. They are pricey, but extremely good for a senko.

The Gloomis GLX BCR893. It's long enough to flip or pitch senkos weightless. And it's super sensitive.

It depends what size of senko and what type of application . open water in stick ups come on now don't ask a question and all these guys have answerxs that don't help cause the application is the key.

Depends on your budget. Kistler LTA or LTX 7' MH for open water or 7'6" H for around cover. If cash is no object and you treat yourself to the best, Jackall Master Stroke for open water or Jackall Rush Burn for cover.

Phenix 707H best all around Senko rod I have used in years...

Powell 733CEF....7'3" 3 power. A 734 for thicker nastyness.

I think in a general sense you want something that is 7'3" or 7'4".

You want a fast tip and good backbone. If you plan to fish in heavy cover you should check out one of the Loomis flippin sticks.

I'm with the general consensus here, I use either a powell 733 or a dobyns 734.

It's time you sudo conservatives stopped being hippacrates and started buying AMERICAN!!!!! I MAKE THE BEST SENKO ROD!!! I make it for the style of fishing you do.
