2 All Purpose Casting Rods

[gocats]

So after trying for the past few years to up grade a couple of casting rods, looks like this is the year. So my question is-what would be the best actions for 2 all purpose rods? I will be using them for topwater, spinnerbaits, texas rigged plastics, and crankbaits. Pretty sure I will go with at least 7' but not certian on brand so suggestions on that will help also. Thanks as always.

Sent you a PM.

Fishin is life is dead on w the 72mhxf cumara. Hands down one of the best all around rods and excels at some techniques. The old ones are actioned a little better but the new ones are great also. As for an all around crankbait rod the one i pick up most of the time is a 7mh mod mojo. Theyre cheap rods but they have a perfect action for med runners and sensitivity is great. For general topwater Id say a 66mhf duckett. Those three rods are just general techniques. The rod Ive found in my hand most the time though is the 68mhxf glx. Next to that would be the 71hf glx.
If youre on a budget and just looking for two rods. Id go w a crucial 72mhxf and a mojo 7mh-mod. You could make those rods work for most situations. 7:1 chronarch or curado on crucial w 15# flouro on crucial. 6.4:1 old 200e citica on mojo. 10# flouro would be better for cranking but to cover the topwater you could use 10# mono so you could throw topwater too. Prob work alright.

A couple Shimano Clarus rods. Lot of last years models marked down now & the new ones are usually around $89.00. They have the lifetime over the counter warranty just like the rest of them. 7Ft.mhvy. for spinnerbaits & plastics & a 7ft or 7'6" medium for crankbaits. I used a 7'6" heavy for jigs & 20lb mono or 65Lb braid for a few years now & have never had a problem, but when & if I do I can take it back & get a new one on the spot just like the other Shimanos. No company beats Shimanos warranty.
