Rod Size

[Lacustrine]

I currently have a Duckett Micro Magic 7' medium, fast rod with a Curado 200 I 6:3:1. What size rod, taper, speed, etc. would be the most advantageous for a new set up?

You just answered your own question. You have a "Duckett Micro Magic 7' medium, fast rod with a Curado 200 I 6:3:1". So what exactly are you asking?

What are you asking?

[Lacustrine]

Sorry. I meant new set up.

Depends on your application.

A 7'6¨ medium flats popping rod with a 7:1 baitcaster. It is great for anything from shakey heads to tubes to a drop shot in a stretch. Also is great with a fluke or senko. Really shines for finesse jigs also.

Depends on your application.

I am looking for something that can do a lot that my other rod could not do. 

 

Have you been out on the water lately? What are they biting? I have fished Martin with a little luck, but could be doing better.

I get it you are looking for a 2nd set up. I believe I have your duckett rod It has a real whippy tip. Correct?? I love it for med depth cranks and light baits. For a 2nd set up you need something to set large single hooks. I just purchased a duckett 7'3" mh for just that. I put a Lews bb1 7:3:1 on it and it is a great pitching multi purpose set up. I did put a lefty reel on it. I am starting to like them better not only for pitching but cranking.

Thanks. Yes it is whippy.

If your looking to expand I would look at a 2 power fast or xfast spinning rod for dropshot tubes small jigs like keitech spiders and flukes. I am currently stuck in Washington and that rod gets used every outing. I also throw a lot of wacky 4" canethumpers on mine.

I'd get something in a medium heavy power with a fast action. Buy a length that feels comfortable to you. That rod will give you a bit more backbone to handle some heavier baits.
