I started with a fiberglass rod and once I got a graphite rod the only thing I have done with it is to jig for crappie.
I never developed the rhythm to use a fiberglass rod well. I have a Fenwick FF605 here that belongs to a ff friend and after stringing it up and playing with it at my pond for a bit I discovered I still don't have it. He asked me to check the rod because, like me, he never felt comfortable with it. I told him the rod was fine, it was just us.
He said he was going to list it on EBay and I suggested here also.
