I've got all 3; it's Vanford all day in my opinion, although the tatula isn't a bad reel at all either. I'd generally just avoid the patriarch, it simply isn't on the same level as a tatula or...

The WBBR is a bottom bouncing rod. WBBR = "Walleye Bottom Bouncing Rod". I have used one and to me it isn't designed for casting. You'd be better off with the 904 swimbait rod, which was designed for...

The NRX rods are extremely lightweight, so even small changes in your reel weight/size will impact the overall balance and feel of the setup. Remember that these rods literally weigh in the low 3oz...

I run a 2500 Tatula on my NRX 822s SYR, even though I'm partial to Shimano reels. It balances extremely well with a 2500 Tatula or Ballistic for whatever reason. Keep in mind this is the previous gen...

Hey Dan.
Honestly you could bobber fish with literally anything, but it's definitely fun to dial in the rod.
