Randy has inspired me to buy at least two, maybe three JDM rods. I mainly fish on bottom for shellcracker and big bluegills. I need a rod that is sensitive enough to detect the sometimes delicate bite of the large shellcrackers. It's funny, those fish will sometimes nail a wiggler or often times just gently mouth it.

I'd prefer a 7ft rod under $200...although I'd probably spend closer to $250 in a pinch. I would pair these rods with the smallest President spinning reel on the market. Is 2lb line a must with these rods?? Thanks, Troy
