MT523

Thanks for the help. You have definitely given me something to think about. I'd love to go with the HMG or Elite Tech Walleye, but the price of the Eagle and HMX are little more enticing right now. Decisions decisions...

So I'm looking to get a 6'6" medium/fast spinning rod for walleye. Fenwick has 3 choices that I'm interested in: Eagle $60, HMX $80, HMG $100. I'm surprised to see the Eagle has a lure rating of 1/8-3/4 which makes it more versatile, and for the cheapest price. Anyone own or have an opinion on these rods?

Thank you so much for the help. I'm glad I asked, I won't worry too much about lure weight, especially because it seems like 90% of the lures I'll be using will be within that range. Happy to hear the St Croix is a good all around rod, which is exactly what I'm looking for. I also plan to go with the Pflueger President reel. I will go with M instead of ML. Again really glad I asked because I had no idea the reservoirs in CO were mostly rubble bottomed. St Croix M/F sounds perfect. Haha yeah I can see that happening with rods. Right now it's mainly bait and tackle, but narrowing it down since I'm getting a better idea of how my fishing season will pan out.

Message sent. Ok cool. I would love to catch all 3 on one rod. Yes, that helps a bunch! I will go with a medium power and hopefully light action.

Ok cool, I will try to stay in the suggested weight. I definitely hear you on your quote. In that case I might need to decide if I want a walleye or bass rod. I don't I'm in CO :/. Thanks for the offer!

Ahh ok, I will use the recommended lure weight as a guideline. Thank you for saying what lighter and heavier can do to the cast. So I'd like to use it for bass and walleye. For walleye I want to mainly jig with it. For bass I want to use crankbaits, shaky head, Texas rig, carolina rig, and drop shot if possible? $50-$100 would probably be my range

Just like the title says. I'm thinking about a rod that says 1/8-1/2 for lure weight. Does that really mean I should never use anything lighter or heavier? The rod I'm looking at is the St. Croix Premier Series. Does anyone have suggestions for 6' rods with similar characteristics: light or medium power, fast action, and won't break? And cheaper?

Thanks for the tips on the Power Worms, at least for now I'll keep em in the package. Thanks for the pictures, they are so similar. I guess I'll get both and see if I notice a difference fishing this season.

Oh ok cool. So the trick worm is bigger in diameter? I see. I'll keep them in the package.

Sorry if this has been asked and I'm a noob, but what is the difference between Zoom finesse and trick worms? Also, I have some Berkley power worms and they smell different than any plastic I have. I keep my tackle box inside but should I keep them in the original package to hold the smell?
