I bought one rod that says it is for crank baits. I have another that says it is for texas rigs. The stats on each are pretty dang similar. My problem is that I don't want to have to carry both around all the time. Which of these two rods would bake the better choice for a single rod to use most of the time? I went a little crazy at the manufacturer's location and bought a rod that I ordinarily would not have.
Rod 1: 7' M/H Moderate fast, 8-17lb test, 1/4-1oz lures. Recommended for Crankbaits, Jerkbaits, Rattlebait. A good quality rod touted for its high quality to cost ratio.
Rod 2: 7' M/H Fast, 10-17lb test, 1/4-3/4oz lures. Recommended for Jigs, Senkos, Texas rigs. A significantly higher quality rod from the same manufacturer.
