on 11/27/20 at 2:06 pm to NolaSh25There are a ton of quality ML-M inshore rods out there that handle this task. I chose M stellar lite rods for my last purchase, they are great for trout and can handle when a bull red comes along. The lifetime over the counter warranty replacement did factor in as I picked up 6 rods for my boat that just anyone I bring along will use. When Zook rods isn't back up so much I am going to get a pair of inshore rods, a Medium Light and a Medium heavy, 7', one to pair with a 2500ish size reel and one to pair with a 4000ish size real to cover just about anything I will encounter inshore.

on 11/27/20 at 2:58 pm to NolaSh25I hate to be that guy but it depends on a few variables. For one, how tall are you. I like a 7ft M/F but that’s cause I primarily fish the marsh. If I was gonna stick to the trestles/chalmette wall I might want a shorter rod. Some people like to go MH/F for the sensitivity.
Having said that, put your favorite braid on a 6’6” -7’ M-MH/F rod and you should be good to go.

on 11/27/20 at 6:54 pm to NolaSh25I would say 6-9 ml or m fast tip is ideal.
Waterloo, Laguna, castaway, g loom is, FTU green rods, sarge customs, etc. screw the big box store rods.

Thanks y’all for the recommendations. I’m currently looking at 6’10 vs 7’3” Cajun rod Atled. Leaning towards the 6’10”.
I have a 6-10 Castaway all purpose rod (i think it’s M with a F tip)with my SLX DC reel and I can throw damn near anything with it.
I know the DC reel is cheating and honestly I can throw just as well with my Curado, but I can throw a 1/4 oz jig into the wind without ever having a problem.

on 11/28/20 at 1:53 pm to NolaSh25I personally like a 6'6"-7'3" ML-M for spinning rods. And 7'-7'4" M-MH for baitcasting. The shorter the rod the lighter the action. Although I will say this, rod weight is not a set science and their are no set rules to measure it. Grab a bunch of different rods of the same power and flop them around and you will see. My Medium BPS platinum signature series baitcasting rod is as stiff as my Shimano SLX Medium-Heavy baitcasting rod, whereas my shimano clarus medium-heavy spinning rod is as stiff as my Ugly stick carbon Medium spinning rod is.

on 11/28/20 at 2:20 pm to NolaSh25My recommendation is based off price.
Under $80:
Daiwa AIRDX / AIRDX coastal - only $50 great sensitivity for the price, but the guides aren't great
Ugly stick carbon - 7yr warranty, even better sensitivity, Fuji reel seat, winn grips, and low maintenance SS guides.
Under $200
***BPS platinum signature series - MY RECOMMENDATION, 10yr no questions ask warranty, incredible sensitivity much more than what's needed for trout, winn grips, fuji reel seat, and high end SIC guides
St croix Mojo inshore - Great all around bang for your buck and is backed by st croixs warranty
GLoomis E6X inshore - great rod and is backed by GLoomis warranty.
Shimano zodias - one of the most sensitive rods in this price point but I do no recommend it over the others I have mentioned because of shimanos bad warranty...
$200-$400:
Shimano Adrena Poison - cheap at $360 dollars with performance as good or better than the most expensive rods made, has shimanos shitty warranty but knocks the doors off of most rods in this price point.
Over $400:
St Croix Legend Xtreme / inshore - the previous model is still only $420 and 99% as good as the 2020 version at $650. St croix a amazing 15yr warranty with upgrade orion's through at croix. I don't think you can beat this rod.
GLoomis NRX - as good as they come, great warranty through GLoomis but not as good as st croix's warranty. Also, I'm not crazy for cork grips.
