Hey i'm 16 years old and starting to more frequently enter competive tournaments. This summer i'm thinking about joining a local b.a.s.s club. I need suggestions on a new punching setup. Alot of the tournaments are on flipping waters. Heavy braid, high gear ratios and broomsticks.... I'm currently looking at the iROD genesis II 7'11" bub's punch rod. Is that too long? I'm about 5'9" 150lbs. I'm wondering if i should step down to the 7'7" or will the 7'11" work? I'll be using 65lb braid and i like the benefits of a moderate/fast action rod because braid has no stretch and i don't want to pop the hook out of fish in mats. Or will the fast action and 7'7" rod be okay
all thoughts appreciated. My price range is that $150 dollar area but i'm kinda flexible bc i work if you have a better suggestion
