Thanks for the help. I am going to look into the lightning shock. How do you feel about buying rods online, do they ship OK? I live in Maryland (sadly) and we don't have running's. I am looking into the pisficun torrent rod. only downside is the foam handle...

Hello, I am new the the world of freshwater and Baitcasting. I have a reel on the way to my house and was trying to decide on a rod. I am looking for a medium/heavy rod preferably with a cork Handel. Price range around 30 dollars. Any advice? Whatever helps.

Thanks for the help. It will look good on my shelf. Thanks, Darren! I am going to polish it up and put it on display. Thanks for the help. I plan on using it as a display piece after learning more about it.

Ok. I would use it for my 6 oz lures so... I'll decide if it's worth it when I get it, thanks.

Ok, lightning shock sounds like the way to go. Thanks. I'll figure out what to do when I get it.

Thanks. Still open to ideas, but I will look into it.

About 50 dollars. Mostly trolling maybe some bottom fishing. Possible that I might try to cast and retrive, but slim chances.

I am getting a vintage Bronson casting reel from a family member and would appreciate some ideas of what to buy Medium/heavy action rod. Cheap options would be great, no more then 50 bucks. Fishing for 30 ish inch rockfish on the Chesapeake Bay. Might do some trolling. (Bronson Altoola is the name.)
