What rod for the reel?
"T" wrote in message oups.com... 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, Tyler There is a point of diminishing returns on cost per benefit on rods. You can spend a lot more, but why? Take a look at the St. Croix Avid and Tournament series of rods. If you really want to go "Top Shelf", look at their Legend Elite series. I use a lot of the Tournament and Legend blanks when I build rods. A 6'6" to 7' extra fast or fast, medium light to medium power is a good match to the reel. -- Steve @ OutdoorFrontiers http://www.outdoorfrontiers.com G & S Guide Service and Custom Rods http://www.herefishyfishy.com
