Looking for a new rod for multi-use. The Truth SG reel will be going on it, and I'd like to use it for jigging up Lings and rockfish, but will also be using it for general saltwater duty (halibut, sharks, rays and salmon), and soaking bait for sturgeon.

I may be asking a lot here, but if possible I'd like to have one rod do it all well. The reading I have been doing here and elsewhere points to the Shimano Trevala (50-100lb), but I was wondering what other options there are? I'd like to have a little casting ability, so the shorter rods don't really do it for me, something 6'6" to 7'3" seems right. Specifically, I've been wondering about the Phenix AXIS HAX-720X3H 7'2" 60-130lb mod./fast action, but haven't found much relating specifically to that weight rod used for what I want. I realize I could but 3 Trevala's for that price, but something draws me to it if it works well

Any input helpful!

Thanks,

Cody

I use a Shimano terilejo 7'6
My biggest worry is that my wife(when I'm dead)will sell my fishing gear for what I said I paid for it

I assume you're using this one for sturgeon? I suppose it wouldn't kill me to buy a sturgeon rod and a jigging rod, I kind of figured that's how this was going to go  :smt003

I'll check it out! You using this for sturgeon or jigging or both? Thanks!
