My current rods are only 5'6 to 6' - so they fit in the bottom of boat easily. Plus they are boat rods so little need for extra length.

Doing a lot more casting now that the back is on the mend (had spinal surgery 2yrs ago) and would appreciate the extra casting distance a 6'6 or 7' rod would offer.

Any recommendations on rod in this length to match the new Curado baitcaster - will need to be 2 piece for travel, casting hard bodies & spinnerbaits, not willing to spend more than $150.

Thanks
Cindy

Aah the two piece baitcaster rod problem. I went through the same thing looking for a baitcast rod for barra. For Barra, none exist in this price range in the length you are looking at. For bass, there is the Starlo Tournament Pro Light 702. This is $170. I made the mistake of buying a Japanese rod (where many rods are two piece) but the guides are too small for barra fishing. If you are bass fishing, this rod would be great and I would be willing to unload for a good price, please check your PM for details.

Thanks Last Cast - I will get back to you via PM.

I suppose I should note, not bass fishing. Yella's & Cod.
