Super User iabass8 Posted August 5, 2012 Super User Posted August 5, 2012 I am able to get this rod brand new for around 80% off at dicks. Its the only rod marked down to 69.97 /w 25% off plus other $$ off coupons i have. I dont need a new rod but for around 20$ i thought eh maybe. Is this rod a M or MH? Only says 7'2 fast 1/8-1/2 but seemed a little stiff. I would probably just throw trigged senkos with it if it even sees water. I know im only paying 20$ out of pocket but i dont want to waste my free $$ off on a dud either. Quote
BASSHUNTER1961 Posted August 5, 2012 Posted August 5, 2012 If they are anything like the reels, and I think they are, don't waste your money. A buddy of mine had one, and it snapped on hookset. I think they are MH. Quote
BassinMD Posted August 5, 2012 Posted August 5, 2012 My friend has a few and he swears by them but for me personally they don't feel balanced but for 20$ it would be a nice spare I'm sure Quote
BradH Posted August 6, 2012 Posted August 6, 2012 Other than the crank rods I don't really care for those but for twenty bucks I'd snag it and use it as a loaner/backup in the boat. Quote
j.bruno Posted August 6, 2012 Posted August 6, 2012 Sounds like a waste of $20 to me. I got one. Garbage. Quote
MT2 Posted August 7, 2012 Posted August 7, 2012 I have this rod and use it all the time, no issues. Ive even pulled some 3#+ fish out of slop throwing a hollowbody frog across scum. I will say though I see alot of mix reviews on the W&M stuff. I just dont see how so many can love and so many can hate one brand so widely. I beleive its, either the QC department is letting alot of bad stuff slide or some people see Skeets name attached to it and expect a $90 rod to be as good as a $150-$200 rod. To me, it is what it is. A budget rod, but I also beleive its one of the nicest budget rods Ive owned and I'll let the rod show me in time if I need to invest in more or buy something else. Quote
