Spinning Rod Combo

We can talk rods this week. I'll build her (and the fiancee and I) some Ned rig setups.

Micros arent a death sentence for floro. I'm telling you guys, never ever buy an off the rack spinning rod with micros. To receive any benefit from them, they have to be placed based on the reel you are using. The choke guide (3rd guide) is the key. In general, it is approximately 27x the spool lip diameter above the top line of the spool. That's the key guide, but placing and sizing guides one and two is equally important. From 4 to tip, it's easy. That's how I was taught and based on trial and error, I've found it to be very accurate.

The sensitivity of the rod gives the feel & minds eye view of whats down there. Would lean to put more $ in the rod. I am also a St Croix fan and they have a good selection of models at different price levels. Middle of the road maybe a good place to start and they have a reasonable upgrade program and warranty.

Enjoy watching our guests and friends try out of good quality rod for the first time. Really makes fishing more enjoyable, it is "High Def" in your hands.

Fins & Feathers, what type of fishing do you do that you like the 7'6" rods? River fish & have topped out at 7'.
