Recommend me a great bream rod. All opinions welcomed. Tell me why or why not to buy certain ones. By the way I have the reel already. It's a pfleuger president.

Something light but with good back bone. I can't give you a specific rod/brand but something that's stiff but not a whole noodle. If that makes since

It's not a $20 rod but sniper made me one that is absolutely perfect!
Stiff backbone but soft fast tip.

Another really good rod is a Diawa Laguna.
Very cheap and awesome performance and feel.

If I was gonna buy a store bought rod that's what it would be.

i have several rods for different techniques and all of them are light and medium light action rods and they also double as crappie rods. the one i always seem to pick up is a bnm sam heaton super sensitive 7' light action(redesigned). ive used it for everything from casting 1/64 and 1/32oz up shallow to drop shot off the creek ledges and shell beds for post spawn bulls.

they are not expensive like a st croix but feel very similar.

REDESIGNED! Sam Heaton’s 7-Foot Super-Sensitive

The SHSS72n is a spinning rod with the same sensitivity and feel of the jig pole series. Improvements include Dyna-Flo guides for smooth line retrieval,and a cork knob handle for outstanding balance and feel. Historically one of the most popular rods on the water, the SHSS72n is still supple...

St Croix Panfish series in 6'4 is what I use. Coupled with a Daiwa Fuego LT 2500 series reel. It's the finest combo I've had in my hands. But, I've never had a custom made rod.

I was thinking hard about a st. Croix. Thanks for the feedback. By the way, I got the fish finder on the boat. It's perfect buddy. Thanks again

I am a huge fan of the Ugly Sick Lite Pro rods. I have 2 of them and they are the ones I choose the most when I go out fishing. They also aren't as hard on the wallet.

I'm busy with this at the moment but will be home in a few days and we can get back to building rods.
