Aarron Eilers Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 I recently ordered a revo gen 3, need a all purpose rod to go with it... cranks , traps, maybe worm here and there. I was looking at the 13s brand rods... prob in the 100$ range. anyone have any suggestions. . mh? m? Quote
travis23 Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 I have 3 Veritas rods matched with Abu SX's. their cheap, light, and sensitive. I recently bought a 7' M winch series which I haven't got to use it yet, but it's rated up to 3/4oz and should work for what you listed. Quote
mjseverson24 Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 There are a few good options for what you are looking for, I would check out the shimano clarus or compre 7'2" M/F, another great multipurpose rod is the skeet reese spinnerbait rod, the mojo 7' M or MH/F is another great option, the veritas and omens are pretty sweet as well. Tatula for like 110 from a site sponsor is another great option... Mitch Quote

Those things have a pound of grease in them. I just spent an hour cleaning mine. Quote
Aarron Eilers Posted March 1, 2014 Author Posted March 1, 2014 Thanks for all the input, going rod shopping today. I made a list..... Quote

Super User ww2farmer Posted March 1, 2014 Super User Posted March 1, 2014 I have mine on a 7' MH/F Veritas, and it's spooled with 30lb braid. It's my "do-all" combo. It mainly tosses swim jigs, spinnerbaits, and frogs ( in all but the heaviest slop). If I need a stiff rod for ripping traps and squarebills out of thick grass, it can do that, I can also fish texas and carolina rigs, jigs, and tons of other stuff on it. It's the one casting set up, out of the 9-10 I carry at all time that seems like is always on my deck. Quote
tbone1993 Posted March 3, 2014 Posted March 3, 2014 What do you suggest on the line to spool it with... It depends on the lb test. At lower lb tests up to 12lb I like berkley 100% fluorocarbon. Above that I like using seaguar invisx ( honestly ill use all sizes of invisx but I get berkley really cheap) You could put on 30lb braid and then use a 10-12lb fluorocarbon leader if you decide to throw crankbaits. It really depends on what you want to do. I say put on 12lb fluorocarbon of your choice and call it a day. Quote
