Hey guys I have narrowed (kind of lol) my choices down to a few and would love to have some input from you. I am considering the following:

Powell Endurance 7'2" MH XF

Phenix Recon 7'1" MH F

Dobyn's Savvy 7' MH F

Cashion 7' MH F

Big Bear 2012 7' MH F

Shimano Crucial 7'2 MH F or XF (have held both, the XF seems like it would have too stiff of a tip to throw senkos without tons of cast offs, but open to opinions)

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

I love all of my dobyns rods so that is the route I would go I'm changing all my rods to sinus actually u think the 703 or 704 would be perfect for what you want

I have only fished the crucial out of all of those and i love it. Im not sure how the XF would be too stiff but the F wouldnt? XF would have more give then a F action. In the crucials case i would go with the XF. I had a 6'6" MH XF i used for plastics a while ago and it was awesome.

The Crucial should be fine, I would personally go with the MH/XF version.

Did you just want one rod for all three applications? To me, that is three different applications and I have a different rod for each one of those techniques. I throw a lot of senkos, and I've got a Falcon 6'10" Eakins jib special that works great for that. It has a little too much tip for jig weights over 3/8 or so.

I use a Recon 715 for what you describe, but it is always hard to say no to a Dobyns. I LOVE my Recons

yeah thats exaclty what i figured but it seemed like to me the F would be able to cast senkos a little better. and yeah i am looking for a rod for those 3, im a broke college kid so i have to adapt lol.

I have that Powell Rod and Love it!! Light, Sensitive, Quality components. Couldn't ask for more out of that rod.

I'd go with the crucial, recon, or endurance.

I have a crucial for those applications and it works great.
