MIbassin Posted April 1, 2016 Posted April 1, 2016 Could I find a Rod that does all of these well? I'm looking to stay below 225$ Quote
Super User smalljaw67 Posted April 1, 2016 Super User Posted April 1, 2016 What weight range are you talking about with these lures? Is there a length preference? I'm asking because for topwaters I prefer a shorter rod than I do for traps, and for square bills I can use either a longer rod or a shorter rod but it depends on what the size of the baits I'm throwing. Now, not knowing any of the variables mentioned above, there is a rod I think will work well for all and it will only set you back $75+ shipping costs. Over at FFO, there is a Fenwick Elite Tech Smallmouth 6'10" MH-MF casting rod, I already have one, that rod isn't soft or parabolic in action. What you get is a stout rod that flexes further down the blank to help keeping the fish pinned with trebles without being parabolic. That rod will work with square bills 3/8oz and up, it will work for the same size traps and top waters as well as it is rated 3/8oz to 1oz. There are rods that will work better for one technique or another but for a rod that can do them all and do them well at your price level, the ET Smallmouth 6'10" MH-MF is the rod for you. Quote
