I have been bass fishing for a very long time. I fish mostly ponds because I do not have a boat.
Im looking to get a new casting rod. The one I have been using for many years is Berkley Lightning rod. Its 6'6" with a medium action. Im not sure if it has a fast tip or not. Id like to stay in the 6'6" range or slightly longer because it is more conveniante when fishing ponds casting around trees on the bank and what not.
The rods I have been considering: *** ***, 6'7" Medium, Fast - I like this rod but I like a long handle behind the real and this one seems fairly short on the 6'7" model. I dont mind going a little bit longer to acheive more handle room, but the grip on these rods looks a little small no matter what length.
The other is the St. Croiux Mojo Bass. I dont see any draw backs to this rod yet but I would like to get something with micro guides if possible.
The other one I have been looking at is the Abu Garcia Vendetta.
What rod would you guys suggest for under or at a $100?
Im mostly throwing jigs, swim jigs, texas rigged worms and spinnerbait and buzzbaits.
Should I consider a medium heavy? Basically I need a all around rod and can fish my whole tackle box with.3
Thanks,
Ryan
