pjmags Posted August 1, 2012 Posted August 1, 2012 Im looking for a decent all around pole for a good price and any type of fishing. I have narrowed it down to 2. Which one would you reccomend? http://www.basspro.com/Browning-Fishing-SilaFlex-Spinning-Rods/product/58483/147385 http://www.basspro.com/Bass-Pro-Shops-Tourney-Special-IM7-Graphite-Spinning-Rods/product/44529/95902 Quote
Super User LgMouthGambler Posted August 1, 2012 Super User Posted August 1, 2012 I would go with the Tourney Special. Quote
Super User K_Mac Posted August 1, 2012 Super User Posted August 1, 2012 I agree with LMG. For a general purpose rod a graphite fast action is more useful. The Browning rods are all fiberglass parabolic (slow) action rods which are generally better suited to treble hook baits. Quote
Super User BassinLou Posted August 1, 2012 Super User Posted August 1, 2012 Tourney special. I still have a few those. When I starting getting serious with bass fishing i started with those. I use them now for loaners. You will to when your time comes. Quote
Super User SirSnookalot Posted August 2, 2012 Super User Posted August 2, 2012 I have that tourney rod in 7' med, I actually bought that rod and used on drift boats with a 5000 Penn spinning reel. At present I have a 4000 spheros mounted on it and it's my frog rod for snakeheads. I've handled kingfish and bonita with it, but imo it feels bulky for repetitive cast and retrieving. I believe in the price range there are more comfortable alternatives with newer technology. I'm saving the rod for trade in at BPS next year. Quote
Super User *Hootie Posted August 2, 2012 Super User Posted August 2, 2012 I would go with the Tourney Special. X2, Until I went to higher end rods, the tourney specials were all I used. Great rods for the price. Hootie Quote
