Nodda4me Posted June 21, 2012 Posted June 21, 2012 Trying to decide which rod I should get for Lew's Tournament baitcast reel. Price range up to 100 I guess. Rod Specs: - APPLICATION: Jigs / Spinnerbaits - * Lightweight - * Sensitive - Medium Heavy - Fast Action - Flexible - 1/4oz - 1oz I bought a Falcon BuCuu BCC-5-17, MH, moderate action, the backbone is stiff and I didn't notice until I brought it home because I was looking at 4 rods at the same time. I bought it at Gander, I'm most likely going to take it back just because BPS has it for $99.99 and I paid $119.99. I was also looking at the Abu Garcia Vendetta but took the Falcon because it was lighter. I was thinking about getting the white Abu Garcia® Veritas™ Micro Guide Series Casting Rod model VRCM70-6. Gander has it for the same price, but BPS has over 25 broken rod reviews. Quote
central.PA.bass Posted June 21, 2012 Posted June 21, 2012 I have 3 of the veritas rods and have not had any problems with them... I love them Quote
Senkoman12 Posted June 21, 2012 Posted June 21, 2012 the veritas are great rods. for the $100 i think they cant be beat. for another $30 you can get a lamiglas excel which are made in USA and imho the best rods for $130. TW has them Quote
steelslinger86 Posted June 21, 2012 Posted June 21, 2012 Shimano convergence or clarus would be my opinion. Lifetime warranties. Quote
ClackerBuzz Posted June 21, 2012 Posted June 21, 2012 did you ever try powell? the Powell Endurance Casting 6'7" Med heavy 673 is on sale at TW for $109. so light you don't know its in ur hands. extra fast tip which is amazing for distance casts and hook sets. when i'm shore fishing and only carry two rods its a must. i can use it for jigs, spinners, buzz, lipless traps, cranks, even texas rig plastics. lifetime warranty. i can't say enough good things about it. feels like a $300 rod Quote
