I’m brand new to the sport. Used some sick time payout money to buy a few new rod/reel combos under the buy once cry once philosophy. It was from reading a lot of archived threads on this website that I gained somewhat of a loose consensus as to what I would buy. I will likely split time between fishing Green Bay for 1-3 pound whitefish, and inland lakes for perch, crappies and bluegills. What I would like to know from you ladies and gents is what is the sweet spot as it pertains to lure/presentation weight for each rod, and what are each rod’s limitations.
I bought a Thorne Brothers 28” Quiverstick and a 30” Power Noodle.
I also bought a TUCR 30” PrecisionNoodle, a 30” Bullwhip, and a 32” Precision.
I am kind of hoping the TB Power Noodle and TUCR Bullwhip can pull double duty on occasion as dead stick rods with a live minnow, and I’m hoping the TB Quiverstick has enough oomph to handle some 1-3 pound whitefish duty. As to lure/presentation weights, that’s where you guys come in, if you don’t mind letting me know what weight runs best on each rod. Thanks in advance!
