Need rod advice lol

<< < (2/3) > >>

Curt:
I have All Star, Berkley, Abu Garcia and maybe a couple other brands.

The All Stars are good rods, but the rating is usually off a bit. Their medium rods are usually closer to MH. They also aren't the most sensitive rods around, but not bad for the money.

I've had good success with the Abu Garcia Vengeance rods. Again, not the most sensitive rods, but they work great for spinnerbaits, buzzbaits, bladed jigs (Chatterbaits) and heavier soft plastics, like Beavers, etc. And they're very reasonably priced, especially if you buy a Black Max combo.

Berkley rods are tough to beat for the price you pay for them. So if you like their rods, by all means stick with them.

The dude:
I have 6'6" black max mh. Got the combo on line at acedemy for 30 bucks a few years ago. Think it was a mistake a few hours after i placed the order the price went back up. I have the bmax reel on the 7' berkley now but ill probably put the lews on it. And buy a cranking rod for the old iron once im done with the overhual.

Hands down, the best cranking and spinnerbait rod for the money. I have 4 of them. Three of them I have Pro Qualifiers on and one I have Johnny Morris Carbonlite on. I use the one with the Carbonlite for jerk baits and walk the dog baits because it weighs practically nothing. All of them are 7' Medium action and I don't know of one fish I've lost since I started using them. They have enough backbone to set the hook on a spinnerbait but have enough flex to keep them crazy fish hooked up when they go airborne. (yes)

I have a Berkley Cherrywood casting rod that I use for flipping tubes. It's got a lot of flex, which is perfect for fishing 4 and 5 inch tubes with excellent casting accuracy. It isn't really beefy enough to fish it in very heavy cover, but it does the job I need it to do and does it well. And for a sub $20 rod, who can complain?  :thumbup:
