Nathan_Hardin1 Posted June 17, 2015 Posted June 17, 2015 This weekend I'm going to bps, I'm going to get a ghost. What rod should i get for just and all-around rod? 7' MH or 7'3" heavy? I mostly fish bottom baits. Quote
shawnmc Posted June 17, 2015 Posted June 17, 2015 If your set on a Ghost then I'd say 7'MH for an all around rod. Quote
Nathan_Hardin1 Posted June 17, 2015 Author Posted June 17, 2015 I'm thinking of getting a 6.4:1, ill mostly be flipping smaller jigs and t-rigs around brush and docks. Quote
Nathan_Hardin1 Posted June 17, 2015 Author Posted June 17, 2015 what reel do y'all think i should get in 6.4:1 Quote
Super User HoosierHawgs Posted June 17, 2015 Super User Posted June 17, 2015 Really can't go wrong honestly. I like Daiwa and Lew's. A Type R or Tournament would serve you well. 1 Quote
Super User HoosierHawgs Posted June 17, 2015 Super User Posted June 17, 2015 Or you could always get a Duckett reel to match your rod Quote
Nathan_Hardin1 Posted June 17, 2015 Author Posted June 17, 2015 im kinda at a budget their reels are not so much in the price range. Im looking for $50-$100 reel. Quote
Nathan_Hardin1 Posted June 17, 2015 Author Posted June 17, 2015 i have a pro qualifier i like it i love it but don't want anymore. how much are the others. Quote
robster80 Posted June 17, 2015 Posted June 17, 2015 mettle is on sale this week i believe for 45 or 50. tatula can b found for 100. Quote
lectricbassman Posted June 18, 2015 Posted June 18, 2015 Tatula online. Go to bps and try one (or all of them for that matter!) on the rod before purchasing one that YOU like the best. Quote
ndejohn27 Posted June 18, 2015 Posted June 18, 2015 I finally bought my first ghost in 7'3" MHF last week and I've been fishing jigs and texas rigged craws around heavy cover and so far it has lived up to my expectations. I have it paired with a Lew's Speed Spool LFS 6.8:4 and I highly recommend it. 1 Quote
Nathan_Hardin1 Posted June 18, 2015 Author Posted June 18, 2015 Im gonna get the pflueger patriach reel it's white and looks good on the rod. Quote
DCales84 Posted June 18, 2015 Posted June 18, 2015 I've been using the 7' mh ghost for awhile now and if your going to be using baits over 1/2oz you may want to consider the heavy action. As for reels I have mine paired with a lews speed spool ss1hl in 6.4 ratio and it's able to do just about anything I need it to do. Have been impressed with lews reels so far and would buy several more if they had the speed spool models in higher ratio lefty models. Quote
BuckMan1 Posted June 18, 2015 Posted June 18, 2015 Get a Quantam Accurist looks good and performs even better on this rod. Quote
