Okuma guide select swimbait rods are very nice for the price. Don't be so focused on what everyone else is using. You are already on the right track. Focus more on getting out and fishing. Bait in water is most important. After you catch fish then make your adjustments. I throw my rof 12s on okuma guide select XH paired with tranx 300 20 lb abrazx. Rof 5s on okuma guide select H paired with curado 200 hg. Dobyns another great rod. So many great rods and reels out, it's 90 % personal preference. I'm in socal as well. Big fish here, just gotta put in the hours. Butch Brown Fred Hall show, don't miss it!

I guess some dudes need a 807 to drive a hudd jig hook in the mouth of a bass but I don't . If you don't set the hook like a pansy, then I guess use the broomstick. I prefer I little action in my rods. Ya sometimes you need backbone but I'm just not sold on the broomsticks. The 867 is awesome. Trebles or hudds. Tick, wind slack, set the hook hard. To me some action in the rod helps keep the fish pinned. Again personal preference. Gotta try for yourself to really know what works for you

I throw my waver 168 on my okuma guide select H paired with a curado 200 k with 12 to 15 lb sunline assassin. I love it. Remember tho, a lot of this stuff is personal preference so you may have to try what you like. I had never fished sunline before but tactical bassin recommended it so I gave it a try. Very happy. Usually run seaguar abrazx but thought I'd try something new. Either way don't think too much about it. Throw one one and go fish and see what feels good to you.

Hudd rof 5 means it sinks 5 ft every 10 seconds

20lb seaguar abrazx. Recently tried sunline assassin and seems quality as well. I'm sure there's quite a few quality lines, you just need to find what you like.

Okuma guide select H and XH. Great rods for the price

Okuma guide select H. Has good power and medium action. Throws baits it's rated for well. Great rod for the price.

7'6" shimano curado med heavy. Will pair great with the curado k

Accu cull I believe

Okuma guide select xh. Very nice expecially for the price. If you want to spend some money. Gotta have the best type of dude, go with gloomis 957 or dobyns 807 or 867.

Dobyns 867 light rod and very comfortable Or loomis 957
