Your most versatile rod?

[Mothra]

Being a co-angler, I value versatility. What is your most versatile rod? What techniques does the rod perform?

[ogrich31]

It really depends where I'm fishing and how deep I think I'll be fishing. I like longer rods if I'll be fishing deep or casting out farther.

But it's a split between my mbr 843 and 844 glx. My 843 glx is strictly a super spook/spinnerbait rod now, but it's also great for most bass techniques that you'd use 12lb test on.

I use my 844 glx more though, since I pitch t-rigs and jigs more. I don't like this rod for casting though, I prefer a longer rod lol.

I still believe these are some of the most versatile rods out there. When I'm shore fishing or limited to rods, I'll usually take one of these rods with me.

Currently for casting rods would be the MBR 843, EMTF Type F, and Dobyns 705CB glass. For a spinning rod the AlX Zolo B Maestro would get my vote. I would thrown in a big and plastics rod if I was looking for 5 rods total like a NRX 873 or Helium H3.

Pretty much all of my MB Orochi XX rods are versatile. Great rods.

GLX 843c - pretty much any bait
NRX 852s - jigs and plastics under 3/8oz

I fished as a non-boater for a lot of years, and never left the dock without an 844 and 843 glx...sometimes 2 of each. Back in school it was imx's.

Nrx 852c is a co anglers dream rod

[Hulkster]

although I haven't had it long, the MBR843 E6X that I have seems to be able to throw anything well so far.

NRX852C and NRX852S...love this rod for smallies, have 3 super versatile.

This is all about where you fish. In central KY, I would vote for the MBR843 or equivalent. In Florida where I fish most of the time, this honor goes to a Powell 3d 775 or NRX 894. I can see if I lived in Smallie world then a NRX 852s might be king.

The mbr 843 does make the trip to Florida; my 2 powered Gloomis not so much so I have a hard time saying a 2 power rod is versatile outside of smallie and finesse applications.

I was impressed at the range of weights the 852s does great with - from light finesse worms to 1/4oz Arky jigs w/ 4" hula grubs. I do not like fishing the latter on any other 2 power or St. Croix ML rods that i have tried (Avid,LE,GLX,NRX).

It also does a decent job of fishing moving baits.

I agree it would not be very versatile in FL grass.

842 and 843 NRX are a great pair to have if you're looking to cover a lot of techniques. I can cover 90% of the lures I throw with these 2 rods. Wish they made a 844 NRX for that next step up, could do everything but punching with those 3. For bass, if I had to choose 1, it would be the 843.

[TahoeDust]

NRX 803c. It does everything well. Being a little short comes in handy if you ever small boats.

[Et525i]

I like my rods underpowered I have 782/783 glooms rods and they are super versatile but my favorite is a St Croix medium light fast. For the fishing I do it's a blast and I throw à little bit of everything with it.

[Bass1980]

Big brother and little brother. These two rods to me are similar but different power. What I've used them for.
