Looking for a an all around rod to use with some heavier duty techniques like swimbaits (big ez’s and stuff like that), jigs, heavy Texas rigs, punching, frogging etc. I want to use 40-50 pound braid as the cover near me isn’t really heavy. Trying to minimize the amount of rods I have so this will be an all around kinda thing to complement my 6 foot 6 medium heavy rod. I prefer shorter rods, so maybe a 6 foot 8 to 7 foot. Any reccomendations for what rod to go with? Also for a reel, could I stick with something in the 150 size like a shimano casitas or caenan or do I need to go up to something a bit bigger? Looking to spend around 200 bucks on the setup.
