Yeah I’ve never been able to get the search function right. Also sometimes I have read other posts but not everyone answers the question. I never have understood people complaining about fishing questions. I could talk fishing every day and most times it’s the same stuff.

Power Tackle PG 144. Before that it was a Powell Max 704. I like Power Tackle rods but don't understand their numbering system on the rods. The 144 is a 7ft rod and the 104 is a 7ft 6inch rod.

Amen brother!! If it bothers you so much to see a question about fishing that heaven forbid someone else out of the 108,521 other members have posted then skip it or leave! Such a douche move to get on a post and make irrelevant comments and NOT answer the OP's question as well.

to the OP- they have a cool function called "ignore user" and you can do like I do and no longer see posts made by these non-contributing people!!! Best feature by far on this site!

7'3" heavy. Although, I think the line (20lb fluorocarbon) and the reel (7.5:1 or faster) is equally as important.

When flipping junk, the bite is usually a BAM! Or a line jump. So the rod only needs to be comfortable to use all day and strong. Maybe even cheap, since you'll break a few along the way.

It will depend somewhat on your height but I like 7’2”. Heavy rod. I went to the classifieds and found a high end rod that was used that still fit in my budget. It is amazing how much of a difference it makes when the bites are subtle. I went with Dobyns.
