Abu Garcia Villain 2.0 7’ medium. By far my favorite spinning rod that I’ve ever used. Works great for wacky rigs and a ton of other uses

It really depends on how much cover you are fishing in. Also, wacky or t rig.

G Loomis nrx 822 or g Loomis glx 852, I use both, just depends where I’m fishing.

Are you throwing 5" Senko exclusively? Are you fishing open water mostly, or skipping docks, fishing heavy grass, timber, etc? Finally, a budget range would also be helpful.

Absolutely need to know how you are fishing to clue this one in. Are you skipping docks and need a spinning rod? Are you looking for power in a casting rig to get the fish away from cover?

ALX Rods ZOLO Mitch - designed specifically for stick baits. Developed and tested on Santee Cooper where the big bass hang around cypress trees. Light rod with plenty of backbone to get a fish away from the tree once they bite.

ALX Rods ZOLO Maestro - probably the best spinning rod I've used for skipping stick baits around a variety of cover. Again, plenty of backbone to get fish away from cover - but has a slightly lighter tip than the Mitch and some people can skip easier with a spinning rod.

Mostly open water and skipping docks. 4” and 5” Senkos. I figured around $150

Thank you, that's helpful.

I generally prefer something shorter and more stout for 5" Senko dock fishing, but there are definitely options to cover both that and the 4" baits in open water. I would give a look to the Daiwa Tatula spinning rods - either the 6'6" Medium or the 6'8" Medium - both will get the job done. They'll be under your budget at with the BBC10 code at check out.
