greentrout Posted July 4, 2016 Posted July 4, 2016 Depends on the kind of water you are fishing and cover and structure. There's absolutely nothing wrong with a m/h setup. But a 6 1/2 ft.med fast action casting rod works well for wormin', spinner baits and shallow crank baits on many bodies of water and load better for lighter lures for easier casts. http://www.bassresource.com/fish/Fishing-Rods.html Quote
Damn Yankee Posted July 4, 2016 Posted July 4, 2016 If your on a budget, berkley lighting rod shock should do the job.mh has a soft tip. 61/2'will do the job. Quote
Robert Riley Posted July 4, 2016 Posted July 4, 2016 I have a Dobyns Champion D684cb. It's got a nice bend to it, perfect for moving baits, just remember that fishing cover and moderate rods tend to be a bad mixture. Quote
dam0007 Posted July 4, 2016 Posted July 4, 2016 Budget? Dobyns Fury 705CB without a doubt! It can be had right now on a handful of websites like TW on sale right now for the 4th with free shipping. Really can't beat it. I'd say for cranks anything from a 1.0 strike king to a Rapala DT14. Up to 1/2oz spinnerbaits. Depending on trailer I'd prob stay around the 3/8oz range in chatterbaits. The 1/2oz plus a hefty trailer puts a little more resistance against the tip then I'd like making it harder to snap it up off the tops of weeds.
