[QUOTE="Retired Educator, post: 287937, member: 3373"] Was surprised from my first response of the number who suggested I'd know the difference between a good rod and an every day rod. So I went to the Cabela's website to look the rods up and check variety. Cost isn't necessarily an issue for me, until my wife finds out what I spent, but after looking I find that I would have no idea what I'd be most happy with. Is there an actual difference between a bass rod and a walleye rod? What would you recommend for action, length, and lure weight? Would be beneficial to actually fish with one before purchasing and realize that's not an easily accomplished task. Any insight? As for my wife, if she saw the rod sitting in the boat she'd have no idea how long it's been there or what it cost. Just need to purchase with some other means than a credit card. Cash isn't easily traceable but with so many jobs going to automatic deposit for income, cash isn't as available without a record. Damn computers. Am retired but still work on a variety of odd jobs, work when and where I want now. [/QUOTE]
