New Rod For Fishing Plastics

[BuffaloBass716]

What should I look for if I'm going to use a spinning rod for fishing T-rigs, C-rigs, Shaky head properly? I want something where you can really feel the bottom and when a fish bites.

 

7ft & 2 piece (Preferably)

 

Under $100

 

On a side note, What should I look for when fishing cranks, jigs, spinner baits? I'm just curious as to what are the proper rod actions and stuff are for certain lures and baits.

 

Thanks

Veritas rods are hard to beat for that price point. T-rigs and c-rigs you'll want something in the medium-heavy-fast range, shakey heads you want a lighter powered rod due to the finer wire hook. You can fish a jig and spinnerbait with this rod too. Crankbaits you will want a rod with a more moderate action (as opposed to fast action with jigs and such)...not as sensitive, but will allow the fish to inhale the bait without ripping it away, and will allow you to fight it better without ripping those trebles out. good luck!
