Thanks guys, this has really helped me! I've been looking at those compre's a lot, esp in the medium action. I like that you've been able to throw the rat-l-traps on it, that's one of the things I was wondering about. Ok, the first rod is gonna be a CPC66MB. I was wondering if anyone's fished the CPC66MLB? I'd be using it to fish 1/4 oz grubs on 8lb. Zack

I kind of like the idea of getting a medium light rod bc I could throw light grubs on it. I've been looking at the Compre's and they've got a 6'6" medium light action, fast taper. What do you think of using that rod also for rat-l-traps? I know its a fast tapered graphite rod, but would the lighter action help on the hookset? Maybe I'm asking too much of it? Zack

Hey guys, I need some advice on buying a couple baitcasting rods. I'm looking for 2 baitcasting rods, each for under $100. I fish mainly 5-10ft deep eelgrass beds w/ 1/4-3/8oz grubs, 1/4-1/2oz rat-l-traps, and 3/8-3/4 oz spinnerbaits, but I'm gonna step up and get some nice rods just for these conditions. The fish are smaller (2-3lbs tops) and pretty line shy so I fish 6-8lb on the grubs, and 10-12lb on the crankbaits/spinnerbaits, and whole lot of floro. What I'd really like to do is have one rod for 8lb grubs, and another for spinnerbaits with 10 or 12lb, either rod 6.5-7'. I'd fish the rat-l-traps on either, whatever would be better. I'd feel a whole lot better about whatever I buy if I run it by you guys because I know there's a lot of experience on this board. I could really use your opinions on this one! Thank you, I am eager to hear what you all would go with!

Thanks guys, I can tell I'm gonna love this board. I think I'm gonna post a new topic because this rod is one of the two I'm gonna buy and I'd love to hear opinions on both of them. I'm newer to fishing bass, so I can use all the advice I can get! Zack
