I love my Abu Garica Veritas 2.0 6'5" , mostly for top water kayak in Ohio. About to buy a Fenwick spinning rod ( have Cabelas gift cards). My crank is Abu Garica Fletcher Shryock 7'2, it was cheap but pretty good. I need a good chatterbait/jig rod.
Thank you for the review and very interested in Ark rods. I think Fisherman Central has them in stock up near Eadt Harbor.
7-6” MH fast is my most versatile rod. Being in Ca we have a lot of great fisheries and I primarily target largemouth bass.
7’ mh fast
I have a really cheap 6"11 MH fast spinning rod from bass pro that I think I paid $50 for. I have had it for years and it is by far my favorite jerkbait rod, I bought a more expensive casting and spinning rod to try and fish jerkbaits but I can't get the same action I get from that rod. My favorite casting rod has to be a 7"3 casting rod MH fast that I use for just about everything other than heavy baits and topwater. I bought a 7"113 fishing fate black MH extra fast and I love that thing for flipping jigs. I live in MI
I have 12 favorite rods lol trying to narrow down my arsenal as I don't have a lot of room in my boat and I fish on buddies boats a lot , been narrowing down to 5 when hopping on a buddy's boat , if I had to choose one rod as my do all it would have to be a Dobyns Champion XP 734c, its listed as a heavy fast but its really a medium heavy mod fast , it might be the most versatile rod ever made, caught bass throwing 3/4oz swingheads in deep water, 1/2 chatterbaits, 3/8 to 1 oz football jigs , every size texas rig , and it excels ripping lipless through grass , sure I give up a little sensitivity to have a rod that shines on moving baits but its sensitive as you need on bottom hopping baits
No doubt you need a rod that can throw multiple baits… Co anglers like myself can't have a lot of rides for just one application… Med Heavy is the right call…
I use that same rod for jigging walleye. I do more walleye than bass. For downrigger trolling I use a composite rod because of the massive bend we have to put in the rod. The length on that one is irrelevant.
How light is a mh I use m because I saltwater fish can the rod handle it
Anything 7’0”-7’5” med heavy is where you get the most versatility from
Got nothing to do with you being sponsored and paid by them though.
Great video. I wish you added that there is no industry standards for action or power. You came close with your favorite rod and stopped short.
M favorite is a 7'3" spinning rod fast acting. I use it the most… Texas style, top water, up to 2.5 crank baits everything pretty much. 20lb braid 20 flour leader.. Bait caster is 7 to 7'3" fast action. 30lb braid.
General purpose rod; i generally like/prefer to used a 7' – 7.3' rod length 90% of the time
I’m up in the NW and most of the lakes are fairly clear. Not a ton of heavy vegetation. If I were to use just one rod, I’d probably pick my G.Loomis E6x 7’1” med/fast. I can do just about anything with it.
Yep and a 7 ft medium spinning rod and you can practically fish all bass techniques.
3 years ago Bradley Hallman did a great vid called 'How to choose the RIGHT ROD' Great trick he shares in this vid of how to match your favorite rods parabolic bend to any rod in the store. For those with A.D.D. fast forward to the 6 minute mark.
Another thing to take into consideration is how each manufacturers power system may be different. I was fishing a 7’3” MH Kistler Helium, but switched to a heavy power in the same rod. I think their power system runs a little lighter, so my H feels more like a MH imo. Also, the new channel has been very informative!
ARK makes the best value rod.
7'2 M/H moderate or moderate fast is my favorite rod.
That new tharp rod is now 15% lighter. I'm selling all other rods I hav and buying these they are awesome now

I wanted to buy a KVD Lews rod, simply because KVD is the goat. I went with the GC6, and that rod is such a good all around rod. It’s softer than I expected it to be. It’s become my favourite rod for a lot of different baits.
Yep…
I agree a I use a 7’2 MH fast for a lot of different things I got 3 of the same rods myself for that reason very versatile.
Anything that is 7’2” to 7’5” gets my attention. MH to Heavy is likely to be picked up for a variety of baits. Mod Fast to Fast action.
You hit the nail on the head with this!! 7’3” mh fast is my rod of choice . I prefer one with the more mod/fast tip for most applications. 13 Fishing Fate Black and Defy Black rods are my “go to” but Okuma,Dobyns ,Lews and Halo have some great rods as well
I use med heavy 7’6 “ bait cast rods ! I feel awkward with anything shorter !
When I first tried baitcasting rod and reels many years ago I with with a 6'6" rod and reel combo and never really like it. When I finally gave it another go a few years back I went with a 7'3" MH Fast rod from Kastking and loved it. Still one of my favorite rods that I use because it does all of the things you said in the video. I have since expanded my rod lineup to a Medium and an Extra Heavy road as well, but the MH Fast does it all very well
Definitely the MH/F is the most versatile. Since I’m a kayak angler, I tend to go with a 7 footer but also have a couple of 7’3”. Thanks again for noting the difference between power and action. Too many videos don’t make that distinction which is, of course, important.
