I know this gets beat to death but I was hoping to get some opinions.
I have gotten into fishing more this summer and plan to continue to delve more into as time goes on.
I have been using spinning gear so far (MF rod, 6’-6”) although I do have a baitcaster rod and reel that I picked up at a garage sale to start practicing with but I haven’t use it out yet.
For the immediate future I would like to upgrade my reel and rod to something a little better than what I have now but I don’t intend on spending a small fortune. I’d just like to go up to the next step in quality of equipment.
I am planning on going with a Pflueger President or Supreme (35 series) for the reel but am torn on whether I should get a MF or MHF rod to use right away and for tackle purposes.
Next year I plan to purchase another set up of whichever I don’t buy right now so that I will have a M and MH rod.
Of the two (MF or MHF) which do you think would be better all around for the time being?
I mostly fish plastics (texas rig) and have started to get into jigs. I also have crankbaits (lip and lipless) and spinner baits but do not use them near as much as the plastics or what I intend to use the jigs.
I have mostly fished local ponds but am trying to find a jon boat to get out onto some of OH's local lake and reserviors when Im not with someone who already has a boat.
I am going to BPS this weekend to try to find a rod.
