what is the perfect fluke rod and reel
-
avet sx 5.3 reel
daiwa vip medium light conventional rod
my personal combo and i LOVE it

For me it depends on where I'm fishing, drift speed, weight needed, etc. If I had to pick only one I would choose my St. Croix Avid AC70MH. It is a 7', medium heavy rod rated for 3/8-1 oz lures and 10-20 lb test line. I can fish bucktails from 1/2 oz to 4 oz very comfortably with this rod. It's super light and has great feel. t^

Is there such a beast?
To answer properly (assuming there is just 1 answer) it depends on where you fish (bay, river, ocean), style of fishing (bait or bucktail) & preference for tackle (spinning Vs. conventional).

definitely all about the weight needed to hold bottom.
I have 3 go-to rods from wet noodle to MH. The two heavier ones, while both "MH", are very different in action. The Penn CV2662MH is good for about 2-6oz, and my go-to if I'm spinning, but if I need more weight than that I'll go with the Tsunami TFSCC701MH which is a beast.

I do most of my fishing in RB and the last few years, my go to fluke outfit is a 7' Crowder Shoreline CROSLC708 with an Abu Ambassadeur 5500. My only complaint is that I wish the handle was a little longer.
Rod and reel were about 60.00 each.
