There are a bunch of clarus spinning rods on sale at the tackle warehouse ***.com/descpageRDSSHIMANO-SHCLSRDOThtml (I cant link yet and i dont want to be a post wh0re). I'm going to get a medium 7' lightning rod for cranks, which one of the Clarus' would be good for texas rigging? Will these rods last me a long time? I'm getting close to splurging!

So i went to fleet farm to browse and i found a nice 7' lightning rod medium power that i'll probably get. I am finding it really hard to find a lightweight, stiff, fast action rod for working a texas rig. > There were some tactix rods that were on clearance though that i might get especially since i can get rebates on both. There was a 7' drop shot/finesse rod and some 6' worming/jigging rods all medium power. Would one of these work? Another question, most rods say medium then the lure weight and then line weight. is the medium refering to the power or action. Not many rods give a specific action rating. Thanks

Thank you very much for your responses. I am definately on a budget as i am a college student and go fishing with my friend a lot, but i only have one crappy rod with a nicer reel i just bought. Any suggestions for rods/combos in the cheap range, ugly stik quality or less I am nowhere near experienced enough to benefit from the difference between a $30 dollar rod and a $100 rod but now that i've started fishing again i could definately be more versitile with two rods that do different jobs. Thanks again

Hi all, i'm a noob with some questions. I have done a little internet research but would like some final advice. I want to get two rods, one for plasitc and sensitive work, and the other for casting crankbaits and whatnot. Are these findings roughly correct? The one for plastic should be a medium power, fast action rod 6'6"-7' The casting one should be medium power, medium action 7'ish Should one be longer than the other? I dont think i will be dealing with monster fish, so should i get the lowest power rod appropriate to the fish weight, or do the power and action characteristics affect each other so that it should be specifically medium,fast and not light,fast. Thanks
