Chuck- Fish with what makes you happy. I've caught my share of Bass since turning in my Zebco for that first spinning reel back in the 1970's.
I do have to admit that I've been hearing the siren call of a high end Shimano baitcaster. It's those damn Bass Pro TV shows What rods are all of you bassing with baitcaster fans using with your reels? I'd imagine that after dropping a buck fifty plus on a reel that you want to put just as much thought into the rod... Scott |

Rods...
Quote:
I have a Shimano Stradic 2500 for the reel and just started looking for a rod to hang it on...My problem is I only have room for one extra rod in my boat so this unit has to cover a a broad spectrum of Bass applications. Flippin, poppers,plugs and swim baits along with the occasional spinner bait. I am sure I have a long haul before I find one like that... Chuck

a good all-around rod would be a 7' med/med hvy action rod with line weights from 12-20lbs. test, maybe 1/4-1oz. weights. if you could find one with a fast taper tip it would be more forgiving for throwing lighter topwaters. it would still suffer for heavy flipping though. i pitch with 20 lbs. line but throwing poppers on 20 willl kill the action how about two new rods?  |
