Hey I'm looking to invest in a new bass / spinning rod . I'm not sure what to look for . If any one had an opinion I'd love to hear them and what reel to match with it. . . . .

a bass rod would have a casting weight of around 2-4oz which would be grand for belting out spinners every now and then but would be a bit heavy for using it non stop for a couple of hours.
the savage bushwacker is getting very good reviews.
