I mostly do thre fly thing, but someone wants a home built spin rod.
So I would like to tap into your wisdom. They would like a 2 piece about 6 foot about 6-12lb line spin rod for general use, not real expensive. Any suggestions of brand and where to order from would be helpfull.
Cheers Ron.

Which ever St. Croix line medium 6'6" blank is in your price range. Can't go wrong with them.

Good luck.

I agree with the st. croix lines also, the med action spinning rod is a great all-round rod for freshwater fishing. If the shikari sale has a psb 702, that is also an great rod.
