Looking to start my technique specific bass fishing arsenal, I'd like to start with a rod for soft plastics. I like faster reels, 7.1:1 or better. Hopefully you guys can help get me a nice combo of good quality looking to spend 400-500 Give or take. Also I have a new Revo STX and mojo bass 6'6" MHF I can still return or continue using

Seems a lot of people are turning me away from the mojo bass mhf, so if I were to have one rod to do it all for now, what would you suggest? For a 100-250$ budget

Yes I'm going sure I have it set up properly, it may even be on the lighter side (the lure falls faster than normal) I fish with a lot of 1/4 3/8 1/2 oz stuff. I'm using 12# invisx floro.

It's such a hard decision! Lil

Yes I'm within the reccomendations for lure weight, and line for my reel. I liked how the medium was easier to cast but that pole is "designed" for jerk baits, they say a mhf is teccomended for fishing soft plastics andbtgats what I'm doing the majority of the time but I can't cast for crap lol. Idk if I should get used to it and hope I get as good as I was with the medium and stick with the reccomended rod for my style of fishing or go back to medium cause It's easier...

Also I'm using 12# seaguar invisx floro

So I'm new to fishing with baitcasters. I bought my first casting rod and reel at bass pro this weekend. It's an Abu Garcia Revo STX 7.1:1 on a st Croix mono bass jig n worm (6'6 mhf). For the time being this is my go to rod for all situations. I primarily use soft plastics, but I throw a variety of things. My problem is it's so hard to load up the rod to get a good accurate cast. I had a medium power rod but I broke it and when I exchanged it they suggested the medium heavy power. I was very comfortable and accurate with the medium but now this medium heavy is giving me a really hard time casting just about anything. Am I going to eventually get used to it or should I switch back to the medium?

Hey there, this is my first post! I'm new to the forum, and I'm using my phone so please excuse my lack of proper punctuation and such. I'll get to the point. So I'm new to fishing with baitcasters.
