(sweet) So I want to invest in a new spinning rod for bank fishing. I would totally just use the search tool if it was up, but it's not so I wanted to know if any of y'all had any advice on what to look at. Thanks a ton!

Falcon, All Star and Castaway are all good brands. I suspect the new Academy H2O rod is also a good value. Bass Pro had their $50 IM7 rod on sale for $29 last week so I picked on up - not sure if it's still on sale.

You should be good to go with a 7' MH +1. But if you are going spinning I would recommend a medium instead of a medium heavy.
