They are pretty nice, I think you will be happy with them. I do not own one but my son in law bought one and I fished with it for the day yesterday and I was impressed and a little surprised. I think they are nice rod's.

I fish a great deal of thick grass and stumps in Toledo Bend so I go with a little bigger line. I use 12# for Jerkbaits and I use 15# to 17# on Senko's. If I was forced to use the same line for both I would try to settle on maybe 12# to 14# if the 14# would work the jerkbait the way I wanted. The other guys have given you very good info.

The Daiwa Tatula line of rod's is what I would recommend because they are going for around $100 on the interweb and the rods are very much worth that price. Good stuff. If not those I would say go with the Duckett line of rods, The Ghost is $100 and they are very nice rods also, for a little more you can go up to the micro magic pro line and they are fantastic. good luck and let us know what you decide to buy and how you like it.

I would say the best $100 rod is the Duckett Ghost. They are very nice for the price.

I am in the boat that says micro guides ARE more sensitive. Mileage varies between fishermen.

I have always been of the mind set that if I only had say $200 to spend on a combo I would spent $150 on the rod and $50 on the reel. To me the Rod is WAY more important in the way I fish. The only thing between you and the fish is the line so I also use the best line I can afford. . Line......and pretty much tied is the Rod . . . . . . . . Reel

Both of mine pretty much cast the same but I'm not as happy with the I as I am with the E series. I just like the E's much better.

I am sorry to say but that line is the worst stuff I have ever used. It is so stiff I couldn't cast it and trying to tie a knot was a pain. It is almost like trying to fish with bailing wire

CAKE!! I would use cake. I mean it is my birthday.

I am very happy with my Lew's Reels. I own and fish a Team Lew's Pro, Team Lew's, Lew's Gold, Lew's Super Duty, Lew's BB1 Pro, Lew's Tournament, Lew's BB1 and a Lew's speed Spool LFS. Out of all of those Reel's the Lew's BB1 Pro is my favorite. Once you factor in the price, fit and finish, dual breaking and castability it simple can't be beat with the other Lew's reel.

I talked with Gary before ordering my first Orochi and he helped me a great deal. I bought mine from The Tackle Trap and I received my rod in two days. It was very fast shipping, the rod was packaged very well and I am VERY happy over the whole experience. I bought the 7'5 Medium Heavy Extreme Mission Type F and I can say with out question that the Megabass Orochi xx Rod line is fantastic. I am truly impressed and it takes a lot to impress me. The Orochi is just as Sensitive as the G.Loomis GLX my son in law fishes, much more sensitive than the Dobyn's Champion and a little less sensitive than my Kistler Z Bone. Fit and finish is amazing and it is one of the most balanced rods I've ever held. I have a Team Lew's Pro reel on it and it is spooled with 15# Sea-Guar InvisiX Fluorocarbon line. This rod would be able to do all that you have listed and could do it very well, at a length of 7'5" it would make a great deep water worm and jig rod. I think it is one you should look into. I do not have any experience with the Tour Vesatile (yet) but after buying my first megabass I am now going to order either the Flat side Special, the Spinnerbait Special or the Tour Versatile. Good luck

White carrot stick....that is funny. Have you fished any of those Powell rods with the Dobyn's name on them lately Alonerankin2 ? I own ducketts and they are very nice rods and well worth the price. The problem is I doubt many people have fished the new loomis rods yet. I know I have not so I can not compare them but I do know you can not go wrong with the Duckett.

WoW, Don't see to many people that sell off rods just to downgrade I'm just messing with ya.

Yes, they did come out in 2010. Boyd won the 2007 Bass Master Classic and then three years later he started his own Rod company.

Welcome to the Dark Side......Or should I say the Right, White Side

Very nice! I hope you get many years of enjoyment from it.

I am not paid by any of them but I've fished with Duckett Rod's for a very long time and IMO they are much better than the other rod's listed. Also do not buy a Savvy rod unless you are buying it for moving baits. It is the most dead feeling rod I've ever fished and no where near worth the asking price, if you do not believe me, do an internet search and you will see many others are saying the same thing about the Savvy line. The Tatula rods are nice rod's and they would work great but IMO Duckett should be the first choice.
