Baitcasting Rod For CT Bass Fishing?
Message:
What baitcasting rods do you use most in CT waters for spinnbaits, rip-baits, frogs, texas worms, jigs, etc? I'm looking to revamp my old Falcon baitcasting rods through the Falcon Rod trade-up program. I'm getting into bass fishing again after a hiatus. Thanks.

A general rule of thumb is medium action rods for baits with treble hooks and medium-heavy for most other things (ie those you mentioned). Most folks like 6'6" or 7' rods. Additionally, you might want a 7'6" Heavy rod for pitching and flipping into heavy cover,..but that's more of a specialty thing that's not for everyone! 8)

i agree with mark, med is great for treble hooked baits; top waters, rattlebaits, cranks med/hvy is great for getting the hook through a texas rigged worm and such plastics; along with spinnerbaits and jigs hvy for jigs, frogs, and plastics in heavy cover. 6ft-7'2" the only "purpose geared" rods would be a 7'6" hvy flippin stick or a 6'8"-7'2" med/light-med dropshot rod. how are those falcon rods? i've been using all shimano gear however ive heard alittle on falcon and g loomis rods. only problem is they are "alittle" extra money
