i like shorter rods. don't like em over 6.5'. just me though

I have a 7 with my calcutta 151 and it can handle just about anything down in Venice (not talking offshore). I wouldn't go with a 7 if I was doing freshwater/marsh fishing though

Fast Action, M, 5'9" XML are my favorite. got 2 on sale a couple years ago. sexy arse rods.

Also the shimano crucial 6'8" M Fast is my longer rod.

Along with some All Star Classics.

All I've ever used was falcon and all-star classic. Never had any problems with em and if something happens to them its only $50, or $29.

I'm gonna go in there and play with the 7' rods and see which one feels like it'll handle top waters and shallow cranks the best and get that. Use it as a backup trout rod as well. That way I can keep a weightless worm or fluke tied on my weightless worm rod.

The other day I was with my padnuh buying a spinning combo. He didnt want to spend that much $$ so the salesman went into the back, found one of those h2o rods that was on clearance for $6.88. Not an all-star or shimano but shite, for $7, can't beat it.
