Okay guys...here goes...I would like to make a chart or maybe a reference sheet for newbies on picking out a rod for saltwater/freshwater. Based on species and baits used
for example
Saltwater
Speckled Trout
plastics-grubs/swim baits etc.
7' Med Light fast action tip
popping corks
blah blah
Top water
Blah blah
Red fish
baits
rod selection
Fresh
BASS
worms
rod selction
spinnerbait
rod selection
crank baits
rod selection
carolina rig
rod selection
top water
rod selection
etc etc
White perch
Bream
I'm sure you get the point by now...
Only the optimal rod selection...basically the generic rod for that bait application. I know some folks may use a different type than usual for a particular bait.
This would be a great reference for "what type of rod would you use for this???" question.
I could gather all suggestions and make a chart based on them...any input would be appreciated!!!
