What is your favorite choice for a chatter bait rod and what gear ratio reel do you like best?

I have a custom rod that was built for spinner baits that I use for Chatterbaits. Has a great tip w/ parabolic bend to support it.

A moderate fast rod in MH.

Reel I use a 6:4 in the cooler months and up to an 8:1 in the warmer months and in shallower water.

I like the Daiwa Tatula Elite TAEL741MHRB-G & the Daiwa DX Type-H, both with the Daiwa Tatula SV TWS in 7.3:1.

I also have the Randy Howell Daiwa Tatula Elite TAEL741MHRB but did not like it for a bladed jig, at all. Too much tip & I didn't feel that I could pop the bladed jig by snapping the tip. Fantastic Spook rod though! Probably my favorite rod for walking topwaters

I have two setups for chatterbaits, a first generation Megabass Orochi XX Diablo Spec R and a GLoomis IMX-Pro 883 BJR. Both paired with a Curado 150 MGL in 7.4:1. This may be on the case where i give the edge to Megabass over the Loomis.

Diawa DX Type H primarily. I own 5 chatterbait rods and 3 of them are the Diawa.
