RippinLips4 Posted June 9, 2014 Posted June 9, 2014 If you could have 6 rods what would they be? NOT ROD COMPANY just length and action and what would you use them for? Quote

dam0007 Posted June 9, 2014 Posted June 9, 2014 I'll add line for you too. 7' - 7'3" Spinning - ML/F (finesse, drop shot, wacky rigs) 6# Fluoro 7' Casting - M/F (1/4-3/8oz jigs and Texas rigs, paddle tail swimbaits) 12# Fluoro 7' - 7'6" Casting - MH/F (1/2oz jigs and Texas rigs, spinner baits, buzzbaits, chatter baits) 12# Fluoro or 12# mono 6' - 6'10" Casting or Spinning - M/F (jerkbaits, small top water: spooks, pop-r's) 10# Fluoro or 15# mono 7' Casting - M/M (Crankbaits, Lipless) 12# Fluoro 7' Casting - H/XF (1oz jigs, frogs) xx# Braid + 15# Fluoro leader or straight braid Only 6 rods would be hard for me, as i use different line for almost every technique. But a ball park break down would look something as the above mentioned. Quote

Super User rippin-lips Posted June 9, 2014 Super User Posted June 9, 2014 The crankbait and spinning rod aren't powell but eventually will be. Quote

DTack Posted June 9, 2014 Posted June 9, 2014 you like long rods! my longest is 7'6 I certainly do... I know some people claim better casting with shorter rods, I won't say I my casting is world class but I have fished with guys who hardly have a rod less that 7'6" in their hand and it doesn't effect their ability to put it exactly where they want. I think it's just something to get used to. I fully believe that a longer rod helps with hooking and landing a fish regardless of what anyone tries to tell me. Quote
