Hey guys, 

I am in the market for a bait finesse rod, I previously my spinning rod that i had it rebuilt for a casting setup.

Unfortunately a friend broke it because of his carelessness and so i'm here looking for something new that isn't too expensive.

I'm interested in the Phenix Recon Elite MedLight or the G-Rods Game Changer Medium.

Do you guys have any thoughts, raccomendations or alternatives to theese rods?

Thanks for help

Okay what do you mean by "bait finesse rod"?  

I am guessing you are looking to get a baitcaster that can handle light weight baits..

What  type of lures do you want to throw on it? What weight range.  

What reel are you using?

Traditionally high quality, sensitive spinning combos have handles most weightless and lightly weighted finesse style baits when fishing for bass. This was true for a lot of reasons including the fact most baitcasters could not do a good job throwing baits below 1/4 or 5/16. That was in the past. Now there is a trend towards using some of the high priced baitcasting reel designed with special spools and brake systems to throw these light weight baits.

The trend towards longer rods has helped advance this as well.

Reels like the Daiwa SV105 and the Tatula SV TWS and others are popular for this. Shimano has plenty of high end offerings as well. 

As for a rod it depends on your budget.  Dobyns rods run a little lighter than specked so perhaps a Dobyns Sierra Series  SA 682C or a Champion XP models  DC 682C or DC 702C. Give Gary or his son Richard a call at Dobyns rods for a more complete answer.

For Baitfinesse i mean fishing classical finesse techniques with a bait caster, i already have the reel for the job, as i said i already have experience with the thing.

If you check the rods that i mentioned you'd notice that they are labeled pretty much like what a classical finesse rod would be. I wanted to know more about them or any decent alternative.

Btw i'll look the dobyns you mentioned
