Does anyone know of a good budget rod to throw the 168 S waver?

Powell Inferno 765
Dobyns Fury 765
Dobyns fury 734 or 735
I had the Powell Max 765 and now the Max 3D but the inferno is the budget version. I think all these price at $110-$120. I’ve got 1 each of the fury’s new and 1 each used. 70$ used or 85$ new. Let me know if you’re interested. I was going to list a bunch of poles this weekend.

I throw mine on my Frog rod, which is currently a Fenwick HMX 7' Heavy Action Rod. If i was going to buy a rod for it I would agree with the 765 a longer rod in 5 power is a good choice something you can get those long casts and has some bend in it ie doesnt flat shutdown after the tip action. I think that Fury for 70$ is a good get

S-Waver 168 is a glide bait treble hook lure, Dobyns FR795 SB is a good choice, or Irod IRG783 SB, 200 size then go up to FR806 SB. Swimbait rods are moderate fast action for better hook sets.

What size and type of line do most throw the Swaver on?

The 168 I’ll use 30-40# braid to 16-20# floro or mono leader for me or 16# floro when the water is really clear.
The 200 I like 40-50# braid to 20# leader.
