Baitcasting
Message:
Hey Guys I'm primarily a bass fisherman and though this spring I would get into baitcasting. I've picked out a new reel, the Daiwa Megaforce but haven't found what I want in a rod (actually I'm not sure what I want) so I was hoping you guys could lend a hand. From what I've read I'm looking at a 6' medium to heavy action. And I'm gonna try to keep my budget down to under $50. PS I go to college in PA and boy do I miss fishin lakes in CT. We have a ok lake by the school, but the shore fishin is really limited. And there's that homework issue...hahaha Thanks guys!

for starting off, i would go with a medium heavy and throw heavy baits to get used to it, some 14lb and throw spinner baits. i would go with a 6'6" rod minimum, prefer 7 myself

7' MH is what you want. That makes a good "general purpose" stick for bass fishing! Check the classified ads on here,..or maybe post one yourself that you want to buy such a rod! Try to get the best rod that you can,..it'll make a difference! If you can get a better quality rod, used,..then definitely go that way!!
