Why you ask ? I hate bail wires.They are not user friendly in my stiuation.Bailless reels range from Penn704z to Zeebaas.The vs is in the midde of this.Looking for a reel that will last.I don't bust rods unless I step on them or close them in my tailgate.So say I grab a vs150 in silver left handed.I really love working pencils and wood up to 4oz's and on the low side a bomber and small rubber on jigheads.What would be the best rod ? Why do I have the urge to call you "deleted by author"?I'm not modeling for the cover of a fishing magazine or trying to impress anyone I fish near .Just trying to be comfortable tossing plugs for hours at a time.Best rod for me with a vs150 would be ?

I have several St. Croix, Loomis, and Tsunami rods. Like them all for different situations, but would not hesitate to put a high end reel on any of the Tsunami's. My 10' conventional is now my favorite go-to rod, although I wish it was about 9 inches shorter.

I'm reading through this and that line comes up out of nowhere. It caused me to spit coffee on my desk. As for the rod. Stick with the one you are using. At least give it a shot with the new reel and if you don't like it, buy a new one. I wouldn't give up on a rod you like just because it's not expensive.
