Hello!

I am looking to add another spinning rod to the arsenal and would like to see what you guys think. It will mostly be used for launching tube jigs and some not so finesse techniques for smallmouth. I live in northern MN and this will also double as a walleye rod used for jigging raps and heavier 1/2-3/4oz jigs when the current is moving on Rainy. I would prefer something in the 7'-7'6 range with a little bit of power and looking to spend around $200-250. 

 

I am also a guy who likes to "try all the flavors" so would be looking for a brand or lineup I do not already have. Current lineup includes Loomis NRX, Daiwa Steez AGS, Shimano Expride and Poison Adrena, Kistler Helium 3, a few Elliot rods and a Dobyns Fury. 

 

Rods that I have been looking into include Megabass Levante, St. Croix Avid X and possibly something by Dobyns. What else should I consider?

 

Thanks in advance for any recommendations
