I am getting back in the game after a few years being away. (10) Anyway I'm planning on fishing tournaments again and man a lot has changed. Anyway, I need some help picking out a couple rods. I have used G Loomis and St. Croix in the past but I am not a fan of spending that much on a rod anymore. I have kids now lol. I have been looking at Powell rods, what are your opinions? How do they compare to St. Croix and Loomis? I am looking for a crankbait rod and a flipping rod. I want a 7'6" MH for crankbait and 7'3"-7'6" H for flipping. Any advice is helpful.
