  2. While I am not opposed to spending that money I would prefer not to. I would like to keep my budget around 200. I imagine for what I am looking for I may have to go above budget. At least I have some time to save up as I will not be using this rod until June. I'm also wondering why you would prefer a fast or extra fast action? I figured for finesse fishing and using braid a medium action would stop me from pulling the hook out of the fishes mouth, and cover for my eagerness/inexperience.

     

    That is where we differ. I personally would want that fast/extra fast for the added power of driving that hook through the fish's mouth. Just got to be a little more patient before setting that hook =)

  3. I'd go custom. I actually am going custom with the same reel. I hear Spiel makes good stuff =) I am building my custom off a Phenix UMBX-S606L-B blank. The possibilities are endless =) But if I had to buy a production rod to pair the patriarch with I would have gone with (however they are only available in a 1 piece)
