Any suggestions/experience is appreciated  |
Are you a mono guy or do you like braid? For bank fishing, river fishing, and pike my most used rod is a 6'6" Ugly Stick gx2 with a 4000 size Pflueger President spooled with 10 lb mono. With a smaller reel and lighter line the rod will work OK for trout too, but I have lighter rods for that.
I've tried a lot of different gear over the year but IMO both the Ugly Stick and the President represent excellent performance-vs-investment in medium priced gear.
