Purchased a Star Rod Stella 7ft Medium-Fast and Diawa BG 3000. Thanks for your help! (Please criticize everything I'm using/buying if you think necessary. Please bless me with your wisdom. I'm pretty new to the gear world.) *Looking for a rod around $100 for freshwater bass.* Preferably 7', 1 piece, Fast & M or MH or H (which rating. suggestions?) "Best" power rating? Is there a big difference between 2pc&1pc aside from convenience? Much more sensitive? I was told the action begins at the base on a 1pc and at the middle/only the tip on a 2pc. That same person also said there isnt a difference btw 1&2pc so now I dont understand... *Purchasing a Daiwa BG 3000 spinner* Using: - 4"-5" senkos yum dinger or gambler fat ace & occasionally some spinners - 3/0 VMC widegap offset hooks - 3/16oz bullet slip sinkers - Powerpro braided line. (15lb test or 10?) If you have any suggestions on a rod and anything I should change for my rig please let me know. I was told today at a local shop that I shouldn't use braided line on a spinner and floro would be better. Especially when casting. Opinions? I've done a ton of research and been talking to a buddy from Florida. Theres so much gear I'm having trouble finding the right rod and my chat with a local shop manager contradicted most of what I've learned. I live in metro NY so serious fishing buds are hard to find. I've been fishing for a while but never really got into the gear side of it. Thanks in advance. Sorry for the long post.
