I am looking to get a rod recommendation. I will be fishing nearshore reefs for flounder/sea bass/other bottom species. Also, I will be fishing for sheepshead inshore. I want a sensitive, durable rod. I already know the reel I will be pairing with but just need a rod and have heard so many suggestions. What would you guys recommend? Budget is not an issue, just not something outrageously expensive because I will be buying 3. Thanks.

Didn't you ask that in your Teramar post? ......... ICM

I want to get a general recommendation from many perspectives on this site before purchasing a rod. Not set on any certain type of rod, just want insight from everyone before dropping a lot of money.

Sounds reasonable, good luck. Post what you end up buying. ........ ICM

Teramar. Best rod for money. Buy local. Good luck.

Since you are determined to also bottom fish with this rod for other species than BSB and flounder you might consider a medium or medium light Trevala.

Since you are going to be buying 3 rods, determine what species and where you will be chasing them more often, and buy 2 of the rods rated for that purpose. Buy the other rod for whatever else you plan on doing less often. Then you can have a set up for each situation with the least comprimise in quality and feel as possible.

The Shimano Trevala TVS 70ML is a spectacular nearshore rod. Originally designed for light butterfly jigging, I use it for casting stingsilvers at albies, dropping Spro-and-Gulp for flounder, and vertical jigging Roscoe Jr's for black sea bass. Match it with a 4000 size reel and it's about as close to a one-size-fits-all as you can find.
