Hi all! I currently am running a 7ft Diawa Presso with my 1000 stradic and I'm looking for a new rod for this setup. I am thinking of something like the 6'9 Fenwick River Runner (ERR69UL-FS-2) I'm looking to give the Presso to my dad and pick up a solid reel for him in the $100 Canadian price range ...

I usually have had small 1/8th and 1/16th spinnerbaits tied on my UL rig for the better part of a decade as I primarily fish for smallmouth bass in creeks and rivers and they really love trying hard to eat them The two other lures that I've used the most are size 0 to 1 inline spinners and 1" to 3.5...
