Bassman200 Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 I am somewhat new to using a Baitcaster. I have been using an old Baitcaster for a little while now and decided it's time for a new one. I fish for fun so I am not looking to buy many different rods and reels. I just need one all around baitcaster combo for bass fishing. Any help is appreciated! Quote
Super User new2BC4bass Posted March 23, 2016 Super User Posted March 23, 2016 Welcome to the forum. A 6'6" to 7" MF or MHF would be considered a good all-around rod. Lure size and cover would help determine the correct power for you. Do you fish from shore or a boat? A shorter rod is better if there are any obstacles that would interfere with a casting stroke. Budget is also important for making suggestions. 1 Quote
JWOA Posted March 25, 2016 Posted March 25, 2016 Yes good tips. I generally like longer rods from fishing from the shore as I can cast out farther? Maybe Im incorrect on this statement. For my all purpose set up I had a 7'2" MH fast tip using a 6.3:1 gear ratio real and 14-16 test fluro carbon line. Quote
