New Spinning Rod

[Robert Riley]

Howdy y'all,

So I'm almost done with the semester, just dying to get out on the water!!!!!

I'm so excited im gonna buy a new pole!

 

I want a ML-M spinning rod. Probly 6-8lb mono or braid, want to toss those smaller cranks. Like those 1/8-1/4 x-raps and little cranks.

I'd also like it to the rod between my Medium 7ft Carrot Stix and my lil UL.

I've already got two Croixs. I want to try something new. I was looking at some Fenwicks (HMX and Eagle) and the newer Falcons. That new TFO tactical is really tempting too but I can't find any good deals anywhere....

 

My price cap is about $150 too.

 

Also, I'm thinking this could also pose as a back up trout rod, if I take my friends with me to my trout pond.

 

So what ya got for me!?!!

Fenwick Elite Tech Smallmouth. Get the ML/F, that is, if you want a ML rod.

That's a good rod. Know anything about the *** *** series? I hear they're on par with Loomis and Croix, but they're just $100...

Sounds like a hint to me! Watch for this rod. It would we be well worth the investment for what you want to do with it depending upon the model #.

i have the 7'1 M ***, WAY better than the gl2's i had, id say its comparable to the IMX series of rods. 

but just like all the other reviews have said, there very well balanced and have real good sensitivity for a $100 rod. you can go wrong with a M or ML, but if you want it it lighter power than you M, go with a ML.

This is where I get ignorant about the tapers and powers. I want to throw smaller cranks and minnow baits, so I was thinking a faster M or a ML. The Power of a rod is related to how well it bends correct? and the taper (fast, XF, etc) says where it bends right? And does extra fast imply a whippier tip? I'm rather infatuated with the ***, Im gonna go check them out at my Gander Mtn next week.
