#1357, ""Workhorse" Rod"
Tue Aug-23-05 05:47 PM by J Hinds

  

          

Hey All,

I am looking for a rod that is capable of doing a wide variety of chores.

I want a rod that I can use to toss around Mattlures' baits, throw a frog, big jigs, do some calico fishing, toss the rago rat...

I was thinking 7' to 7'6", but I am flexible. I also generally like rods with faster actions than most people.

What do you guys think? A flipping stick? I have a nice flipping stick but it has a short handle, and I just don't feel like it is optimum for throwing swim-type-baits.

I have a few rods that may fit the bill--I have a 7' H GUSA factory wrapped number, but I think it is a little soft for what I am looking to do. I may be wrong.

I also don't want a super-exensive (read super-delicate) rod, this is something that will get used a lot.

Anyone have any opinions of the 2ig flipping rod on sale at TW? Calcutta 715XF? Crucial? Daiwa S or LT? Okuma H?

Sorry, lots of questions; I am just looking for some feedback. I realize that multiple rods are probably necessary for the baits/techniques I mentioned, but I thought someone might have simple answer.

As always, thanks for any input.

--John
