Species specific rod??

[Geauxtigers1421]

I'm fairly new to fishing and was about to purchase a carrot stix WILD green rod but noticed it was the one for red fishing (heavier and stronger). I will be using this mainly for bass, will this matter at all other than the difference in weight?

I use a heavy rod for bass. Depends on what style of fishing your doing. If flipping and pitching, into structure, grass, etc. I'd go with a med heavy. 7'6

All depends on what style your doing. However, I would not own anything with the word carrot stix in front of it. Pure junk IMO.

Really? I've heard nothing but good things about them... What would you recommend?

Still depends on what kind of fishing you plan on doing with the rod. I use 6'6 Browning Medallion GT rods on all of my Shimano baitcasts. I use medium action rods on my casting rods and a heavy action rod for flipping into grass and structures. I love the Browning medium actions. They cast amazing and you feel everything with them. Just my thoughts. I also use the medium action rods for trout and the heavy action for reds. I have had no issues with this setup. Works great. Just my opinion.

I was kind of looking for one rod I could use. Don't really flip or pitch so I guess just a casting rod, I was looking at either the carrot stix or the falcon bucoo

bucoo for sure... carrot stix have been breaking left and right

Yeah after the first reply I dug further online and in the search section and a lot of people said they were breaking into pieces... Not looking for that

[meaux fishing]

I would go with a med/heavy if you are fishing mostly bass probably in 6'6" or 6'8"

[davidkyle323]

IMO for all around rod I would go with med/heavy 7'

[ranger-go-getter]

Don't know what the bucco rod cost. But u might consider a custom rod and u can fish multi species. With it. I know a guy that has a rod he fishes. Bass, sacalait and redfish with. Pm me for further info

I'd go falcon Bucoo hands down. I prefer a 7'0ft rod all day long. I'd go with a med. or a med. heavy.

Falcon Bucco is hands down the best rod you can buy for 100 bucks. Very light and sensitive.

I have been a shimano user for long time now, but last week before I left for Toledo I bought a bucoo just to try out and now that's the only rod I want to throw. It's was well worth the money and that's what I'll be buying when its time for another new set up.
