Hey guys I'm looking to spend around $100 for my first rod.  I want it to do pretty much everything such as spinnerbaits, soft plastics, etc.  My brother is helping me look for some rods that fit my description, but I think we need more help.  We went on *** and looked at their rods.  I like the falcon bucoo and my brother likes the temple fork rods.  So my question is what rod should I get?

A 7'MH fast action should be a good place to start if you have the ability to handle the rods in person before you buy I would find one that you feel is good for you

MH F action is definitely the way to go if you want a "do pretty much everything" rod. As far as what brand goes that's pretty much personal preference. You'll have people that love and hate whatever rod you choose, so go with what you like.

if you can spend 40 dollars more check out powell rods.  I think they could do just about everything.

i am looking for a rod that is able to cast spinnerbaits and light soft plastic lures from 1/16 to 3/8 oz. 

7' med powell would do that easily
