Hey guys so I am looking to upgrade my rods. I currently fish with 2 BPS v1 carbonlites one is a M and the other is a MH. If you are unfamiliar with these they are microguides.
Where do I fish?
Creeks(25% of the time), lakes, ponds, and rivers (75% of the time)
What do I fish with?
When creek fishing I use the bigger jointed rapala that weights around .5oz, small/large swimming super flukes with 1/8 weight, lizard with a 1/8 weight
Everywhere else I fish with jointed swimbaits ranging from 1/2 oz to 1 oz, soft plastic swimbaits from 1/2oz to 1oz, creature texas rigs, crankbaits with max depth of 8 feet.
What do I fish from?
Mostly bank and kayak but sometimes a bass boat.
Possible Rods?
Dobyns Sierra Micro
St Croix Avid X
BPS platinum signature series
Phoenix M1 or Elite
Diawa Tatula or Tatula Elite
Budget is $600 but I really would like to spend less than that.
I want to buy three rods. I understand that it would be impossible finding two rods to do everything I am asking. Depending on what brand because I know they all have different weight ranges. I really also want to stay with the micro guides as well. From what I have seen the dobyns looks like a good choice.
Thanks for the replies!
