Unfortunately I went out and bought quite a few rods last year before taking a look at any of Shawn Kimbro's brilliant work. I picked up a massive surf rod early last year hoping that it would make fishing from the bottom of the conowingo dam much easier. It doesn't....the thing is huge and it wears me out something fierce. Later in the year I decided to pick up something a little smaller. I picked up some relatively cheap rod reel combo at dicks and I've been conflicted about it's performance. It's about 6'. It's a heavy power, fast to extra fast action rod. I can't seem to find it online. But I still felt like I needed to go smaller. Having now broke the bank I ended up buying a $20 samurai rod reel combo from dicks. It's..........small. The action is too slow. Now having read Shawn Kimbro's tips on picking a rod and reel I feel like I should look into a 6'8" medium power fast action rod. I know I can still fish with my heavy power rod but I feel determined to find the right fit for me. Does anybody have any suggestions for a good rod or preferably rod reel combo that won't make me cry when I open my wallet? I was considering this...
