Looking for new Rod

[SKEETER2]

I have to agree with Tube dude there are specific rods for different types of fishing. For example you don't go jigging in 80 to 100 plus feet with an ugly stick, with all that rod flex and line stretch there is no way you are going to get that hook in there jaw. So in that case you would want to use a heavier action rod. Some rods you can use for multiple species as Hobo brought up. The Browning Vectra is an excellent rod for the money and it works well for casting for wipers Walleyes and largemouth, smallmouthand I have seen hobo catch muskys on it as well. But a medium actoin rod is not best suited for muskys getting back to the right rod for the right situation, but it will work. But even with the Vectra there are things to consider like what type of handle is best? I have 3 Vectra rods out of my 30 or so rods and some of them have what is callled a tenessee handle which I really like. The only problem with this type of handle you have to tape on the reels which is a royal pain. But I like that type of handle because you can really find the proper balance. One thing you need to consider is the material that your handle is made out of there are corke handles and there are foam handle. Don't waste your money on a foam handle. My suggestion to you is to do what Tube dude said take your reel with you put it on the rod find the rod with the best balance and feel. Only pick up rods in your price range there is a big differance between high end rods and low end rod. If you can't afford it dont touch it. Go to an experienced sales person and tell them what type of fishing your going to do, and ask for there recomendations. Good luck.
