Most of the time I use a Cabela's 6'6 medium action e-glass rod (they do not make this rod anymore). It is extremely soft and some have told me it is too soft but I have never had a problem with it. When I am pitching my spinnerbaits as I sometimes do out at the delta I use a Shimano Scimitar 7' medium heavy rod (SMC-7MH). This is an inexpensive composite rod which I also use for heavy cranks and small (3-5 inch) swimbaits. It has more backbone than the e-glass rod but still has a very soft tip.

I am not saying these are the best rods they are just what I use. I also tend to use less expensive gear as my fishing budget is small compared to others, but they have worked for me.

Lotta ins, lotta outs, lotta what have-yous
