being new to the lure fishing for bass i've have yet to purchase a real plugging rod i've been using my nige williams lure rod 10ft 1/3oz for my recent trips after using the forums and reading everything i understand the need for need for shorter rods to work the lures properly
i dug from the out a very cheap 7ft fladen spinning rod (10/30g) which i picked up at trago mills years ago for perch fishing and had ago with that
oh! my god it's a different world walkin the dog and surface poppers an absolute doddle total convert ,the thing is the rod i used is so soft like a kids rod bends around the butt right through the cork great fun but it won't stop my dream bass
so i'm looking to get a proper lure around the £100 mark i know you must get this come up at least once a week i'm after a allrounder looking at the teklon or the bushwacker i've seen a 8ft 6bw for 59.99 free post on tackle warehouse leaving me change for shiny new lures but i'm wandering if it's abit too pokey for every thing?
i keep coming back to the teklon but (i'm no tackle tart honest cough) i'm alittle bit put off by the gawdy cosmetcis from the pictures i've seen die hard carper see i like thing alittle more understated
i'll be using the norm when it comes to lures a few softs ,shallow divers,surface stuff
any ideas cheers
