Default Spinning Rod

What are some of the brands you guys use for spinning rods. Â*I am looking for an all purpose rod that I can fish smaller finesse baits, but i still want a strong backbone. Â*Any suggestions? Â*I will mainly be fishing un-weighted worms, small senko's, unweighted tubes, etc...

My choice of rod for that application is a ST Croix 6'6" MH. It's sensitivity is wonderful.

I've got a 6'6" M ugly stik lite. I like it because its pretty light, and even though its a medium, you can haul in big bass cause it ain't gonna break.

for my finesse rod -the spinning one -i use a fenwick gt-of course- 6 foot ml action rod that works great for skipping a lure under docks and in other confimed areas.
as for back bone well i hooked fought and landed a 28 pound blue cat fish on this rod using 12 pound ANDE mono.

i got an allstar 7 foot medium GAAAAA
ive cuaght every thing from perch-25lb redfish on it wit 12 lb berkly big game its perfect for tossin light baits cuz of the flex the 7 foot allows for a better hookset cuz if ur jerkin a softy ur prolly gunna have slack in ur line the 7foor will give u room to take up slack and the medium action keep u from jerkin it out also alstar has awsome back bone realy nice perfect for big spec and redfish its good nough for casting a poping cork with a leader on it get er way out there but ultra sensitive i use them to pitch shrimp out on bottem fer the specs and they r awsome very sensitive im getting one for a fresh water rig soon but ive used mine on bass and it does very well

Falcon Open Hook Special. 6'6" M rod designed specifically for finesse fishing. Light, sensitive, but has plenty of backbone. I love it.
