Last year I bought a quality spinning reel and casting reel. This year I want to get quality rods for them. The problem is when I look in the catalogs I see rods desiegned for specific application. I am not going to buy a rod for every type of bait I use. I really do not want a dozen rods in the boat. For spinning I usually top out at 5/8 ounce. For casting I might go to 1 ounce jigging or spoon.What action should I be looking for.

Take the base power rating for example like the Extreme rod from BPS, M power for anything that has trebles on it, MH for everything with single hooks ( worms, jigs ), when selecting a spinning rod remember that the power rating is less than the one found in trigger rods, if it says MH it behaves like a M trigger.

Thank"s Raul,you made it simple.

Here's a more detailed explaination.
