Hey everyone, I have been fishing the Northwest River for a little bit now, with not much to show for it. My largest out of there so far has been a 2.35, but the rest have all been pretty small. I am really trying to up the size of fish I am catching there, as well as the quantity. I have mostly been throwing jigs, squarebills, chatterbaits, flukes, and ol' monsters, amongst other soft plastics. I do pretty well on other bodies of water in the area, but something about that river and around Bob's I can't seem to consistently find/catch fish. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I am leaning towards a Dobyns Fury for the main one, but for the second I am still kind of conflicted. I feel like the HMG will be what I go with especially because of the warranty. Anybody have any experience with the guides being of poor quality on the HMGs? It's funny you mention the spinning rod, I recently just bought a MLF 6'6" for some shad and lighter tackle bass fishing and I have another 6'6" that is a medium for any other need for spinning. Thanks everyone, I appreciate the welcome and all the help. This has been very helpful.

Hey everyone, I am new to this forum, but I have been lurking for a while. I am about to purchase a Lew's TP MB in a 7:5:1 retrieve and was wondering what rod I should pair that with. I am trying to only spend as much as $120 on a rod as I am most likely going to purchase a second rod. The rods I have been looking at are the Veritas 2.0, a Fenwick HMG, Tatula, and the 13 *** Black. I am thinking about a rod that is MH as it would be suitable for more techniques. I am really not sure which one to go with and wanted your guys opinions. I have searched for reviews on all of them, but I have seen enough to make me pick on over the other. I really would just like a more sensitive rod than my cheap graphite series by BP. As well as that rod, I need one for my Shimano Citica 200 G6 in a 6:5:1 retrieve. That is my all purpose reel so something that will fit that would be great as well. Any help would be appreciated.
