Rod and reel guidance
Rod and reel guidance
Hey all, this is my first post here. I've always lurked around but never signed up. Anyway, I've been searching and searching for a new rod and reel for this year. I'm looking for a heavy rod for pitching larger jigs and heavier Texas rigs as well as throwing a Carolina rig. Sensitivity and it being fairly light are a must. Total budget is around $450. That is for a rod and reel. I'm also very open to the JDM market as far as reels go.
Thanks in advance.

Tatula SV and a Dobyns 735 would be a great setup and should fall in your price range.

Your ideal set up would be a Shimano Chronarch MGL 8.1 paired with a new GLX jig and worm rod. If you have a tackle shop where you have a good relationship and they are willing to work with you, you should be able to get this setup for just a little bit more than your budget. I think would give that a shot.

You could go with a new Tatula SV, or Tatula CT type R for a little more capacity and less spendy, plus one of the new tatula elite AGS either 7'4" H or 7'6" H for very close if not under your total depending on where you get the reel... i have both those rods and they are legit, very light, sensitive, and good backbone.

I'd probably roll with a Megabass Orochi XX Perfect Pitch and pair it with a new Daiwa Tatula SV. Buy them both from The Tackle Trap and use the Tackle Tour discount on the Tatula SV. I believe you'll come out right around $475-ish. That'd be one helluva combo for $475!
