Your particular fishing techniques and preferences as well as the type and test of your line will influence your choice of fishing rod reel combos. It is very common for most fisherman that vary their fishing techniques to carry several different fishing rod combos that are already set up with specific lures or live bait rigs.

My fishing preferences are spinning rod reel combos and much of my fishing experience comes while using these outfits and my recommendations for rod selection included here will be based on my fishing experiences.

Rods

If you on doing a lot of casting and trolling with baits and lures in sizes ¼ to 5/8 ounces you will want to select a spinning rod that is 5 ½ to 6 feet in length that is medium power and fast action. When your looking for fishing rod reel combos this would be an excellent general purpose choice.

For casting small jigs and other lures and rigs weighing from 1/16 to 3/8 ounce, select a 5 to 5 ½ foot light power, fast action spinning rod This rod flexes easily on the back cast, so it works well in propelling light lures and baits.

Casting and trolling with large deep diving crank baits and live bait rigs weighing more than 1/2oz is easiest accomplished with fishing rod combos that include a 5 ½ to 6 ft medium power, fast action bait casting rod. Because this rod has more backbone than most spinning rods, it is better suited for heavier lures and rigs.

If you are a live bait fisherman you are going to want to look for a more robust fishing rod reel combos. Look for a 6 to 7 foot light power medium action spinning rod. These rods are a better choice for live bait fishing than shorter and stiffer rods because of there casting distance.

It’s particularly important to choose quality fishing rod combos that are designed to be used to target sensitive biting species such as perch and walleye. When sensitivity is your main objective then you want a fast action rod because slower action rods are not designed for sensitivity. Most serious fisherman prefer graphite or boron rods because they transmit vibrations better then fiberglass rods.

There are other features of the rod’s construction that you need to consider. For instance, for better vibration the rod blank should extend in one piece from the tip all the way through the rod handle and should be constructed using single foot line guides because double foot guides add weight to the rod and restrict the rods action.

Please feel free to use any of our recommendations on selecting rod reel combos we have included on this webpage. Please understand that these are only guidelines that are based on our personal fishing experiences over a 25 year period, but there are always other selections you can make.
