With the ability to catch such a wide variety of bass we'd recommend our Avantt 907. This is a 7wt rod with enough backbone to throw medium size streamers and poppers. A true workhouse that'll have you on the leaderboard. 

If you're looking to fish a full sinking line the Exocett SS 250 is a rod you'll want in your quiver. Designed to counter the inherent challenges of casting sinking lines or ultra-compact floating lines. Powerful rod tips help to easily pull sinking lines to the surface, while the steep multi-modulus blanks dampen excess shock associated with heavy lines or weighted flies, generating distance and accuracy with fewer false casts.
