All brands named are great brands, but another thing you should take into consideration is the length of rod, with creeks you dont have to have a long rod cause you wont be casting very far, ive found that a 4ft rod is the perfect length.
Troutslayer that is true. A 4ft to5ft rod is nice formost creeks and is mobile enough to be convenient, BUT IMO a longer rod 6ft 6'' and above tend to be more sensitive in bait fishing for trout! It all really depends on what you plan on doing mostly? Which is where a 5ft to 6ft rod comes in handy a lil bit of both worlds.
Me myself I actuallytake many poles along with me but prefer a 4ft 6'' pole for spinner and artificial fishing and I actually prefer a long fly rod for bait fishing.
Im sorry if I am confusing you, it really does boil down to what feels good to you kinda like buying a bow thats fits ya!
