I fish primarily senkos and flukes, which rod would be the best choice? Thank you!
(read all my Q&A)

A:
Either the 6-6 medium or the 7-0 medium would work fine for senkos and flukes. The 7-0 would be my choice but I know some guys that like a little bit shorter rod for finesse style presentations.If you look at some of the other manufacturers rods, especially the ones that are technique specific, most of the senco style rods are 6-8 to 7-0 in length in medium action with fast or xtra-fast tips. One key is to be in that 3/16 to 3/4 oz lure weight range, which these rods are.
The 7-0 would make a great Senko rod. Good luck this season!

I am looking for a under-$100 rod to match with my new Quantum Cabo 40, and am considering both the Berkley Lightning Rod Shock (b/c I fish with braid) and the Berkley Cobalt Fire. Is the Lightning Rod Shock as good as the Cobalt Fire for inshore saltwater fishing? Does it stand up to the salt?Answers
A:
if you like a stiff rod the berkley shock isnt the way the daiwa pro bass is a great rod for the price.

If you had to choose only one, which of the 6 would you choose?Answers

A:
7' mA:
6'6"ft. med. light -most versitle all around sizeA:
I actully bought 6 of these rods of different strengths. It all depends on what your useing it for. A good all around rod I would chose a Med action. This will be good for 7lb fish and less.A:
Depending on your application i would say the 6'6 was a good all around choice
A:
I'd go with item number 38-161-334-00 since it suits my needs (line/lure weight) the best.Answers

A:
i would not use this rod, i would get another rod in a light or ultra light

A:
i have the 6'6 rod medium and i works great for panfish and bass. i have a pfulger trion g7x on it and the combo cant be beat for the price. if you chose the med go 6-8 pound mono and thats it or else it gets a little hard to cast. i like to use rosster tails and i cast like a dream with 6 pound mono. this rod is amazing and cant be beat for $50. go with a light reel and you will have an awesome combo.A:
Med light gives you more sensitivity and medium gives a stifer rod for hook setA:
Like my freind used to say about Quail Hunting, If you got it pointed at them when you pull the trigger, it don't matter if it's a 12 gauge or 410.Casting a ML with small baits is easier and less tiring than with a Med. If you use a good reel with the drag set correct, you can catch much larger fish than you think. I've landed 5 LB bass on a Wally Marshall 6 1/2 foot ML with 6 lb test line on a crappie jig, Just took a while. Good Luck
A:
Realy depends on how much fun you want to have. for pan fish I would go for the ML..........
A:
Medium light will allow a faster tip action which gives the fish more time to take the bait. heightens the sensitivity and casting of small lures.A:
it depends on the amount of action you want. If you want pull the fish in quick or if you want a good fight. I would go with the medium light rod. happy fishing!!Details:
I'm thinking of buying the rod, but i dont know what reel i should buy. I'm looking for a reel in the $30-50 range.Answers
A:
IF YOU WANT TO STAY IN THE $30 TO $50 RANGE I WOULD GO WITH A BASS PRO BRAND OR I KNOW PFLEUGER HAS A REALLY NICE SPINNING REEL GOING FOR I THINK $39.99 AT BSP. THATS WHAT I HAVE ON MINEA:
Bass Pro Shops® Tourney Special® Baitcast ReelA:
I paired my Lightning Rod Shock with an Abu Garcia Cardinal spinning reel. I have used that reel for over 5 years, from pond fishing to landing spots on Lake Lanier and it still performs great! It's just as smooth as the day I got it. I'm planning on buying another Lightning Rod Shock and Cardinal spinning reel pair.A:
Pflueger president XTA:
I use a Shimano Sedona 2500FDand Pflueger President 6730.
Both work excelent. Both are only a couple of bucks more than your high price.
A:
I would recommend these to you:Abu Garcia® Cardinal 100i Spinning Reel
Shimano Sonora 2500fb
A:
The combination of the Lighting Rod Shock at $49.95 and Pflueger President Reel at $59.95 are hard to beat at four times the money. The Berkley rod, although you may experience a backorder situation, is as good as a $250 GLoomis trout rod or a $150 Carrot Stix. The Pflueger President is very smooth operating 10 bearing reel. I only fish for fresh water trout and use the 6735X reel and the SHS701M Lighting Shock Rod. I am extremely please with that combination.Details:
