It's a nice rod and can do literally anything you want it too

If you can spare the money I would get a Powell endurance 723. Its a 7'2" MH rod extra fast tip. I paired mine up with my Lews Tournament Pro and it balances perfectly right above the reel. The whole setup is incredibly light and I can cast further than I ever need to. I use it for texas rigged worms, senko's, ika's, lighter wake baits, square bills, jigs. Just about everything except for a standard crankbait. This setup is by far my most favorite right now. Not to mention the matte black reel on a matte black rod with the purple/pink trim is extremely steezy. It's a sharp little outfit man I would seriously consider buying one. For 160 bucks I'm convinced you can't but a better rod especially one that pairs so well with a Lews TP.

That may be my next rod. But right now the Bucoo is doing pretty well and am quite pleased. But I may buy another TP and then get a 723 like you mention. Stupid baitmonkey.

Probably a good call I handled the bucoos at walmart and I liked how they felt. I found my Medium bait caster to be a pretty specific rod. Its too much give for my taste and I use it for light baits: top water, 1/4oz square bills, flukes, maybe a really light texas rig/jig. A MH is going to offer you more versatility for the baits you want to throw as well as more sensitivity to fish strikes/the bottom when you are dragging/hopping/cranking/ripping along. The bait monkey is a whole different animal.. this is more of a gear monkey I guess?

Well see my thread in the Tackle section of the forums. I keep spending a ton on lures. KVD 1.5 cranks, Northstar Jigs, frogs, trailers, soft plastics, etc. I was bitten by both monkeys I guess, lol.

I was bitten by the JDM bait monkey.. $$$$$. haha
