depends on your personal likes and dislikes, I myself prefer slow-action noodle rods, John said he likes fast-action rods with soft tips, there are basicly those two preferences, is you like slow-action rods, gator BS596, lamiglass GLB961M, and CUI F1F-081 are my personal favorites, if you like fast-action rods, batson SWB80ML and SWB80L, seeker CLB804 and CLB806B are pretty good ones
