Okay... I need some help here! I have recently got into bass fishing and just won a $500.00 BPS Gift Card... I plan on purchasing 4 new rods to have them rigged on deck at all times! Just not sure what is the best options... I want to stay with what I have been using just looking to buy 4 new rods! The 4 main items I fish are:

 

1)     Shakey Head & Ned Rig 

2)     Topwater (Whopper Plopper & Spit-n-Image

3)     Jig Fishing

4)     Floating Worm

 

I have 4 brand new reels that I will be using and just need some help the right rods (lenght, action, etc...)

 

I will be fishing the shakey head / floating worm on spinning reel, and jig fishing and topwater on baitcaster! 

 

Could anyone please go to BPS website and tell me what the best options for specs for these four baits!

 

I really want to use the Bass Pro Shops Pro Qualifier 2 rods because I have so many of them already! 

 

PLEASE SOMEONE HELP! 

 

Also... What is the best type of line (and line strength ) to fish with these lures? 

 

*** Just to add this, the person that sends me the best info, I will send a FREE Lucky Craft Pointer 78SP to....

You "recently" got into bass fishing, and you have "so many" BPS pro qualifier 2 rods already?

 

Without knowing what you already have (wouldn't it be better to just get some power/action/lengths you don't have??), I would look at the following BPS PQ2 models:

 

Shaky/ned: 6'8" ML-fast spinning

Floating worm (or other weightless/lightly-weighted plastics): 6'6" or 7' M-fast spinning (choose a length depending on taste/preference)

Topwater: 6'6" M-fast or MH-fast casting (M for baits around 1/2oz and less, MH for heavier)

Jig: 7' MH-Fast casting

 

Welcome aboard! Interesting first post...and a giveaway.

Upgrade to the carbonlite2.0. You can get 4 of them for $500. You won’t be disappointed.
