Casting or spinning? What technique are you going to use on the rod? weight of the lures you plan to throw?

$250 bait rod? Just buy a voltaous rod. It's cheap and will last forever.

i have a shimano crucial 7'2 drop shot and that seems to handle them. a little scary if you hook into something big though. fun to have the rod doubled over though too.
