I recently decided to get a Shimano Sustain 2500, and was wondering
which rod to pair with it. I decided to get a 6' 6" / medium / fast or
extra fast rod but don't know what kind to get. Are the most expensive
ones really worth the money? Any recommendations?
Thanks,

T,

I have been really happy with the Fenwick Venture rods I have gotten at
Wal-Mart. No, they aren't the most expensive rods out there at $50, but
they fish really well. I have both spinning and casting versions, 6'6"
and 7' spinning and a 6'6" casting that has a real soft tip...I use it
for cranking. I use the spinning rods for soft plastics.
