A few rod questions?
Ok so, I've got a few questions about rods. The rod that BB posted a link to in his thread has "Technique specific rods." They don't have a 7 foot medium heavy action, one piece rod, that's on sale. They do have spinnerbait rod that has the specs I want. Buy is there a difference in the rod as far as sensitivity? Would a 7 foot MH, one piece spinnerbait labeled rod that is be just as sensitive as a 7 foot MH, one piece, that is not labeled spinnerbait... Even though it's the same rod?
My second question is..... How are Cabela's Fish Eagle II Casting Rods? It's and 80 rod, so I would think it would be pretty good... what do you guys think of it?

I do have a fish eagle 2 and it is a very nice rod for the money. I have a 6'6" medium power fast action and i can feel every wobble of a crankbait with it.

I chopped my Fish Eagle II up and made a topwater rod. Not a bad rod, but there's better on the market.
Like I said before, I'm sure the 7'MH spinnerbait rod is different from the other 7'MH rod. I'm assuming, because this is common with spinnerbait rods, that the one marked spinnerbait had a faster taper to the rod. What this will do is soften the tip a bit, but strengthen the butt section of the rod. The softer tip will allow more accurate casts with a spinnerbait while th stronger butt section gives you backbone needed to set the hook. Although it's a great deal with the sale going on, I wouldn't buy rod that for one reason. I like a shorter rod for casting spinnerbaits. But this, like most everything in fishing, is personal preference. I think I can get more accurate casts with a 6'4"-6'6" rod instead of a 7 footer. But the 7' rod will give you longer casts. BB

Some say the taper effect sensitivity, but I don't think so. I don't think there will be any difference. Use 10-12lb fluorocarbon and you'll be fine!
