IM getting ready to purchaces a new rod and real for the summer. Has anyone got any recomendations. I fish all types of lures so do i need more than one rod? And any reel suggestions? Thanks for any help you can give me!

You will have to let us know your price range.

I heard those Daiwa Steez rod and reels are pretty nice. If you go with the 6'7" MH rod and the 103HA reel it would also cover a range of baits. That is if you have around $900 sitting around.

You dont have to have 6 different rods however, having the right power and action for a certain bait will increase your hookup ratio and catch you more fish. If you give us your price range im sure we can come up with more than a few suggestions.

Well i am lokking to spend 500 to like 800 bucks. Im more worried about quality than price. And i want to know that there is a good warrenty program behind my gear if it breaks. I have heard people talk about G Loomis but i don't know how their bass rods are.

G Loomis rods are top of the line. You can get a GLX Worm/Jig rod and a really nice baitcaster to pair with it (shimano MG/Daiwa/ABU Priemier). The possibilities are endless with that price range. St Croix has a good warranty program too and makes quality rods as well.

Multiple rods are great but you don't have to have them. I have 8; 4 bait casters and 4 spinning rods all for different things but that's not a pre requisite to catching fish although it does help at certain times.

All depends on your application. Casting or spinning. For a single purchase I'd buy a really nice spinning rod as you can do about anything with it but lose some pulling power that a casting rig affords you. I fish everything with a spinning rod if I need to particularly in really windy conditions when a casting reel can be a headache. Great for skipping baits, you can work topwater, worms, jigs, cranks, etc. If I had to pick one I'd buy a 7' Medium action rod with a 5.4:1 or thereabout gear ratio reel with at least 10 bearings in it. I like the Pflueger reels personally but they are all good so find one that's balanced and that fits your hand. Put the reel on the rod at the store to make sure you like how it feels.

Spool it up with a good co-polymer line in clear 8 - 10# test and go fishing. That ought to handle just about anything bass wise that you can get yourself in to without getting way to situation specific like some of us have done with braid, flouro, mono, casting, spinning, M, Heavy, Flippin sticks, etc.
