When I want something for the 50e I was thinking for casting smaller spinner & chatter baits, frogs and buzz baits for bass - pretty much all I have purposed the 50e for. Too short for me just feels a little hmm, I understand the whole deal with it however just not me. Have been able to deal with longer rods and scrub, and allows a little more leverage than shorter rods. Not looking for long distance casting, just a little length over the 5'8'' norm & I may add in a 2 piece guise.

But I figured at this time of year, I may aswell put the new outfit through its paces to sort out any issues before summer. And I'm glad I did. If landbased Jews were the focus, I definitely would have gone for a longer rod |

My Go Emotion felt quite similar to a MB deepthroat, only with a bit more power through the butt section. I'd take the term "bait finesse" with a grain of salt. Most of the MC rods in that category range from 8-14lb max line weight with med-fast tapers so it's not like your confined to ultra-light soid tip rods or anything.

Very hard to understand described words, some very cryptic for rods. Talk to me about guides, seats and technology but feel is very subjective.

I've always found it more comfortable with shorter gear if I can get away with it. Especially when you're doing a subltle "Walk the dog" retrieve, with a 22 gram lure, thats been thrown 50m into a river. I spose with retrieves that incorporate pauses, its not such a problem because your wrists get a break every few seconds. But with alot of my retrieves - My rod choices need to take wrist fatigue into consideration.. |

With the heavier long rods I use lures that work with a draw pause retrieve or larger twitches, slow rolled and retrieves that don't incorporate wrist movement. A twitching retrieve is a last resort and I usually do it by bouncing the rod but between my elbow and my side. A couple of my longer rods (one in particular) is light enough that I'm happy to just use it like a regular rod and just stay conscious that I need to make my movements smaller to counter the length of the rod.

This is what I bought for my Alphas, very nice, light and sensitive 2 piece rod. Good length, not too short but still short enough to get good accuracy with good distance. Ive used it a few times since I bought it, throwing cranka crabs, and definitely prefer it to a spin rod for fishing around structure. EDIT: Saw Slazmo also mentioned the Benkei BFS further up
