I'm looking for a spinning rod that i can to use for side drifting, boon-dogging, drifting minnows, and maybe some swimbait action. I guess im looking for a jack of all trades but dint want to compromise on the master of none part. Its kind of hard choosing a rod when you have never fished with it. I really like the Rogue Rod Hot Shot series but then again those are the rods i have the most time on and 250.00 a pop they might be a little steep for me. Do i really need that? I do want something quality that is built to last so where is the happy medium? Am i asking to much for a 3 or 4 in 1 rod? What would you spend your money on? On a side note i read your review on the kok rod and saw that you, like me have the false release problem with the downrigger. I just got some new releases i found on line. They look sweet but i will really find out when i put them to the test this week when i fish Donner. The are called Chamberlin Downrigger Releases, check them out.Thanks for your HelpKevin OK I have another Ask JD for you.
