Re: HELP I AM GOING THIS AFTERNOON NEED ADVICE ON A GOOD ROD
I think we all owe it to ourselves to try it with our wives tonight to see how true this is.
Not sure if I would rather be locked up with a 12 ft shark or helping dogs pull down a big ole hog.

Red Bone rods are a good brand. Not sure where you can get them anymore, but they are great for FW and SW up to and including cobia fishing.

You might want to explain the importance of this test to her before you start, or you may be missing the end of your rod by the time it is over. Always dip a toe before plunging in. Just to test the water.

Re: HELP I AM GOING THIS AFTERNOON NEED ADVICE ON A GOOD ROD
I like the calico jack rods made by southbend they are exactly like the redbone rods except for the blank 1 is an im6 the other is a im7. All other components are the same (grips guides and reel seat) hold them up side by side and and they are identical except for the color. And they are half the price. I also have an Ande rod I got at wal mart for like $30 that has held up pretty good its a med/hvy spinning rod 7'6".
