I am looking for a rod whose primary purpose is to fish 3/8 oz - 1/2 oz spinnerbaits (mostly 3/8), but can also in a pinch be sensitive enough to fish T-rigs up to 3/8 oz and maybe a light 1/4oz jig & trailer. I know, that is quite the range of lures.
I think I have narrowed it down to 3 rods that may be versatile enough to do this, so in no particular order.
1. *** Black MF - 1/4 to 3/4oz - (some claim it fishes closer to a MHF than a typical MF.)
2. Kistler Helium 3 MHF - 3/16 to 7/8oz
3. ALX - "Deputy" MHF - 1/4 to 1oz
looking for any opinions or considerations from those of you who have fished one or more of these rods for the applications I listed above, it will be much appreciated.
They all run around 250.00 (which includes shipping on the ALX rod if ordered thru their website) and is in the range I am looking spend. I am not overly concerned about warranty because if it is a mfg defect, I typically discover that sooner than later.
Thanks everyone.
