FS Digest

I have had a few different lengths and actions the past few seasons and I haven’t been able to find one that suits my needs exactly how I want. There aren’t many sporting goods/tackle shops near me to get a feel first hand, so buying online is my only option. I am looking for something 6’, 1 or 2 piece and something that has a bit of spine to it. I really like to jig pretty light lures with 2 or 4lb test and I find that my rods just have too much whip in them when I want a more subtle action. I kind of want it to feel like I can feel my line at the very tip and when I give a pop, there is only flex at the top 1/8 or so of the rod if that makes sense. Any suggestions or recommendations are greatly appreciated. Price can be higher if it’s worth it, but I have ~$150-$200 to work with. Thanks!

Premier rod, with a Stradic 1000. No complaints. little over your budget

You’ll not be disappointed with that setup. Rod is so sensitive that you’ll feel every tick of your split shot on the rocks.

Try a st croix “trout” light or ultralight- sizes range from 5’-4 to 7’; weights on some models as low as 1/32 oz lures. Excellent rods and only about $110 - very sensitive and plenty of backbone.
