What would you say are the "5" must have rods for any bass fisherman, beginner to pro? And what i mean by this is the length and action and what its used for.

Here are my choices: 1) 7�4-7�6� Heavy action- used for flipping heavy cover, grass, and c-rig 2) 7�-7�3�- MH- jigs, t-rig, 3) 6�10�-7�- MH- light t-rig, senko, fluke, heavier spinnerbaits 4) 7�-7�3�- M- Moving baits, spinnerbaits, chatterbait, squarebill, trap 5) 6�6�-7�- M- topwater, shakeyhead, wacky rig, weightless
Preferences are individual. I don�t like a long rod over 7�6�. Only have 2, c-rig and a crankbait rod(which I don�t throw enough of).

Get five Dobyns 734's. They are as universal a weight/length rod there is. Will fish any bait very well.....almost:-). Huge swimbaits or tiny dropshots not so much.
