What is your finesse casting rod?
Re: What is your finesse casting rod?
I fish a lot of small clear lakes where you may catch spotted bass, crappie or even bream. I have a Kistler Carbon Steel 6-10 medium light salt water rod paired with a standard Tatula and 10# mono. Fantastic setup for throwing small spinnerbaits and other small baits. I like the full cork handle too.
I'd like to find another one, or something equivalent.

The Falcon Bucoo 7' M makes one heck of a budget finesse rod.

I have tried several that have been mentioned here but I still go back to my Baitbreath Evola rod. I wish they still made them. I only have a few left.

The Recon 2s ain't JDM or sport fancy features but what it does do is cast light, cast accurately and plenty if backbone.

Re: What is your finesse casting rod?
I've been fishing my Pixzilla on a DX742 and it's awesome. Been mainly dropshotting with a 3/16 or 1/4 oz pencil weight on 8lb test. Sensitive enough tip and plenty of backbone to set the hook. It's quickly becoming my favorite combo to fish with.
