Rod question for some of u pro's

[Catatafish]

Bring your reel with you when you head out to buy a rod, and see what combination feels best in your hand. Also, do some pretend casts and see how it feels. The rod / reel combination can make a big difference. The C3 is a bit on the heavy side @ about 10 ounces, so a shorter rod might not feel right. I do have an old 5'6 ugly stick that I've had for years that sits in the corner of the garage and hasn't seen any action since probably 2002. Everyone has their preference, and things that work best for them. Over the years I've found that I prefer rods that are 6'6 to 7' for bass. Again though, that's what works for me and the only "right" answer is what feels best in your hand for the money you want to spend.
