I don't have any comments about a duce rod,never owned one. Cal extreme are nice still have not found mine that some POS stole. Any bait with treble hooks I find a soft tip rod works best. When you catch bigger fish and they pull drag you can rip the hooks easier. Braid makes it even worse cause of no stretch. IMO medium-moderate works good for mono and medium light or light-moderate for braid. She dog is my favorite top water. They are loud and easy to walk. I have caught plenty of reds on them but sometimes they just won't commit to them and rather a bait just under the surface.
