I am looking to buy a casting rod for fishing a texas rig (worms/craws/lizards) and wanted to get some input from you guys since I am pretty new to bass fishing. I went to Academy tonight and looked at a few rods since they have their rod riot going on right now. I liked the Falcon original, all star (original and ASR series worm rod), and veritas. They were all right around the same price with the exception of the all star original, it was quite a bit cheaper. My favorite was the Ducket Micro, but that was a little more than I wanted to spend. All rods were 6.5 ft or 7 ft mh. Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
