I have these 2 rods that are basically doing the same thing. Which would you keep if you could only have one. 
 

1. Tatula Elite Brent Ehrler Finesse AGS 7’ M-MH XF 1/8-1oz
 

2. Rebellion 7’3” MH F 1/4-1oz
 

I use these for senkos, paddletails, flukes with 3/32nd oz screwlock hooks, underspins, dark sleepers, and sleeper gills.

I would keep them both. So I could have both baits rigged up.

Which one feels better to you? Jettison the one in 2nd place.

Ugghhhh dang It men. You’re not helping ?

 

Jk

I'm really the worst person to be doling out guidance on this subject. I always find a niche for any rod that passes the initial feel-test for me. I have trouble parting with them once I've found a window where I like to use them, then have difficulty sending them away, so I don't. Good luck!

Only you can answer this.  For me, rod decisions are very personal.  Identically rated rods of different models will just feel so different.  Throw each of those listed lures with each rod for at least a half dozen casts.  Land a fish on each.  Maybe one will be your perfect spinnerbait or chatterbait rod.  The first one looks like could be an ideal light t-rig rod.  Do you throw 1/8 oz trig with a different rod than those two?  Are these both spinning...or both casting?  Can you skip better with one over the other?  I would absolutely keep both until I learn that one just doesn't suit me....or doesn't get used much

That's me - of my 10 casting rods, 4 are basically MH/F rods...allocated for different things though. As the MH/F is considered the 'Swiss Army Knife' of rods, having more than one isn't a detriment IMO.

Both good rods. Unless you dislike one of them, I'd keep both of them.

I'd suspect they are both fine rods, Chump.  I don't have the Tatula and I do have a Rebellion that I really like. So I'd go Rebellion and if your planning on selling the Tat...

I probably will keep both. It’s not a matter of not liking either one. 
I have this weird thing about buying one thing (the loomis I just spent $275 on) and then feeling like I need to sell something to recoup the money I spent. Buyers remorse in a way. Not regret for buying the thing I want. Regret for looking at my bank account afterwards lmao

Should be which one feels better to you. Not what looks better on paper.   All gear is different to everyone.  ??‍♂️

Lmao I know It 

I'm in the 'keep both' camp.  Equipment prices continue to rise, and you can't have too many MH casting rods ?

Really. Off the top of my head, I have 10, and I'll be adding another shortly.

i'd keep both, but if you put my feet to the fire, i think i would keep the Rebellion.  i borrowed one, and my first impression was that it was punching way above it's weight class.  

Plus less ugly.

You are lucky.  Keep both.  How would you like to decide which rods to cut from about 25 MHF to 2 MHF rods?

I don't have many rods but I have two MH/F that cover about 95% of my bass fishing. One is spooled with 12lb Yo-Zuri Hybrid and the other with 50lb Power Pro. You could try each with some different line combinations.

I have two Rebellion rods. Very good rods in my opinion.

 

The Tatula would make a good finesse rod probably, never fished one.

Per the Bait Monkey handbook those kinds of stress inducing decisions typically means you need a bigger boat with more storage. Bank account? Nobody thinks about their bank account while fishing, if you're doing it right.
