Fishing Rod Study!

[SaltyShaw]

1) 6'10-7'0
2) Medium Rod with FAST tip
3) Foam
4) Split
5) Prefer 7" but most Rod manufactures make 11"
6) I like Grey or Black rod, colors get to busy for me.
7) Darke Grey
8) The name and model and the spec info thats it

Just got me a Shimano Cumulus not long ago that to me is my perfect rod, colors, action, and everything works with me!

1- 7'
2- ML for plastics, Med/fast for top
3- cork, but i'm coming around to foam
4- split grip with reel seat screw on back or protected on front. i dont like an exposed reel seat screw.
5- med-long length grip for leverage during casting and catching.
6- i dont like bright rods, i find them distracting. black or grey is my prefrence.
7- grey, g-loomis
8- brand name, model, length, action and taper only. i really dislike the 'labeling' that many manufacturers have adopted in the last few years. many people can be confused and think that a rod labeled "crankbait" can only be used for cranks and nothing else.

i've been using g-loomis for several years now because the sensitivity is incredible. but i did play with a laguna rod recently and it was extremely sensitive and VERY impressive.
