Hey Basswipe,
Nothing like lure fishing with light tackle.
You may also consider having atleast two setups. A buck tail rod and a poppin rod.
Newport has alot of different terain. Some times they are in close and sometimes you need that extra weight for getting out there.
When checking the rods pay attention to the weight recommendations.
For instance;
My 7'6" fast action is rated 1/4 to 3/4 oz, perfect for bucktails and plastics.
My 8'6" medium-fast is rated 1/2 to 2 oz, a blast for poppers & needle nose lures.
St. Croix are a little more expensive than Tsunami rods, but I love fishing with them. Can't afford a Lamiglas myself.
If you have room in your truck go one piece.
Save the ugly stick for when your brother-in-law comes down.
If you do get heavy into lure fishing this year, I would deffinently consider getting a pair of corkers.
Welcome to Newport.
