The Perfect Smallmouth Bass Rod
OK, I know the perfect rod doesn't exist; however, I would appreciate suggestions for a close-to-perfect rod for smallmouth river fishing.
I'm thinking a 8 1/2' for a 7 weight. Open to other lengths and line weights.
The water I'll be fishing is approximately 150' wide and naturally the best water is on the far and inaccessible side.
I'm a bamboo fisherman and would appreciate any help in that medium as I would favor a bamboo rod for this fishing. Medium to medium fast taper.
Although, I'm beginning to think it might be best to go with a fiberglass or graphite rod for this fish and water?
Anyway, I ask for you smallmouth fishermen to give an old trout fisherman some guidance.
Thanks in advance!
Bob
When you can arrange your affairs to go fishing, forget all the signs, homilies, advice and folklore. JUST GO.
