I just placed an order for a 2016 6.3:1 Shimano Scorpion, and I am trying to decide what rod I should get for it. I am thinking of using it for lighter, more finesse baits. What rod under $200 would be a good fit for it?

Here's a finesse combo I put together recently.

A Medium/Medium-Heavy rod with a softer tip would cover lots of treble hook lures. Plus you could throw spooks with this, the best lure in the world.

As for your first question, I think a 6'6" Medium Power rod with a fast action would be a good choice. But I prefer a slower action for spooks (Moderate Fast), so that's the only issue I see. But there's no reason you can't make it work! What's your budget? Also, you could pair your light rod with a 2500 spinning reel and use it for finesse fishing, if you're into that.

I went with a 7' ML Dobyns Savvy micro guide. Thanks guys.

These things look sweet and I'm thinking about getting one on ebay. Opinions?

Looks like I'm gonna try to learn the FG knot. Thanks for the help guys.

I'm having problems with my knot getting caught in the last couple guides of my Duckett Micro Magic Pro. It doesn't get caught when I cast, only when letting a little line out. I just don't want to damage my guides. Anyone know of a smaller knot or a way to solve this?

Looking for a spinning rod to pair with a Stradic CI4+ 2500...suggestions?

Just a Z-Man Finesse T.R.D. in green pumpkin!

I'm actually not sure what that was from. It had a small cut on the other side of its tail. Maybe it happened when I wasrfeeling it in, but it didn't appear to be too serious. That's what everyone keeps telling me, but I keep catching pretty chunky ones on it!

I tried this rig for the first time today and wow am I surprised at its effectiveness. I caught a new personal best in a relative's pond (I was fishing alone so the picture isn't great). They always seem to hit it as the lure is falling. Needless to say, I am very pleased. I would definitely recommend this to everyone!

I caught about 25 yesterday at a private pond, none bigger than 2 pounds though.

I've seen this happen a few times. Why do they do this?

It really caught my attention in the store, never really seen a color like that by SK.
