Thanks for the help so far guys, I'm doing my research. One thing to add, two piece would sure be handier. Heavy weed cover, as mentioned, isn't a problem, so medium-light may be a good option. I'm keeping the Fenwick that I have, it's a good rod, just won't cast as far as I need. My Dad had Fenwicks way back when, and I still remember the feeling of trout bites in streams when I was a kid. I just got an old Shimano Bullwhip, 6'6", and that thing's a casting fool. I wish the tip were a little less whippy though, but it's a fun graphite rod.

I'm retired and getting back into fishing, need some advice. I cast 1/4 oz lures a lot, and the rod I bought isn't the best for the purpose. I bought a Fenwick Aetos, 6'6" Medium, Fast action. I'm looking for something with a little more action for casting 1/4 oz lures. I love the sensitivity of the rod that I have and don't want to give it up, so I'm wondering if graphite is required. For $100 or less, what would you recommend? Any help appreciated.

I'm new at bass fishing, but have read of people reffering to the "midnight bite" like everyone knew about it.

Man, it all came together for you. Good job. I'm new to bass fishing and just started fishing Dworshak. Got a lot to learn.
