Default 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.
