Rod advice

[HannesAT]

Hi guys,

 

been searching for quite some time but have not been able to find the right rod.

 

Looking for:

- 2 piece/travel, spinning rod

- approx. 7ft

- lure weight 3/4-3oz (or similar)

 

Rod should be good quality, budget 100-300 USD.

 

Any advice appreciated.

Thanks!!

Where have you looked so far?

We need more high level info.  Where do you fish and what do you target?  Do you fish bait or artificials?

Plan to fish for stripers in the bays, mostly artificials, and from the kayak.

Any advice? Specifically looking for a two piece rod

Take a look at the ugly stick gx2 rod. It comes in many different sizes and also comes in 1 piece or 2 piece even comes in a 4 piece. I have a few myself i love using them because theyre dirt cheap at only $40 and damn near unbreakable! Theres a youtube video of a guy trying to break one and he give the rod a beating until it finally give in after he attatches it to a go kart racing down hill. If youre not sold on that, tsunami makes great quality rods that are also a good price point.
