Which Rod Should I Buy?

[MrTexasRigs]

Falcons are usually a little softer then their rating. Walmart carries bucoos if you want to check one out. I wouldnt buy on from walmart though their rods take a beating from everyone looking at them and the way they store the rods.

Sensitivity wise, how would you say they seem to be. 

[BrettD]

The only rods that I have that are more senisitive are my dobyns champs and cara t-7. They are right on par with my powell endurance rods. Most rods in that price range will be very close in sensitivity so close that one person will find rod A more sensitive and the other person will think that rod B is more sensitive.

[MrTexasRigs]

Pretty much every rod I've been looking at seems to be pretty good. I just need to start narrowing it down. Though I'm probably not going to go for the Veritas anymore

[MrTexasRigs]

I've gotta say, no preach how great the *** *** is. I just bought 2 Crucials, and IMO the *** blows them away. The way your reel will balance on the rod will make even a heavier reel feel much lighter. The guides are top quality, it's crazy sensitive, and the reel seat/trigger just feels great in your hand. Look around at reviews and you won't find one bad review. If you have a Gandermountain around where you live, go there and check them out. That's what I did, and that very day I had one ordered from TW. The *** owns the $100 Price point.

Are they lightweight? 

[TNBassin']

Yes! They feel even lighter when you slap a reel on them because they balance out so well. I have a 7'1 mh that I had paired up with a new stx and you talk about light? Now I have chronarchs that are 7.6oz and even those balance out great on the ***.

Also would you say the *** in 7'1" med heavy, fast, casting rod be good for plastics and jigs, possibly even spinnerbaits?

I think it's a good all around rod for everything but crank baits. Read reviews, google the *** and see what others say. I did a ton of research before I bought one, and also went to gandermountain to get some hands on time before I bought one. I never one person that had anything other than high praise for these rods. I have A buddy that liked mine so well, he bought 10 lol. He had St Croix rods and now only has 13s.

[MrTexasRigs]

Alright thanks! I'll have to see if my Gander Mtn. has one. I get hands on there and buy it online haha. I've done that with reels

[hooah212002]

I have been leaning towards an *** or a Powell as my next big rod buy. I went to Gander and held an ***.

 

Yep, *** it is. They are awesome looking rods. The pictures don't do justice just how bad apple they look.

Americanlegacyfishing gives u a $25 off code if u just sign up for their newsletter. Thats an *** for $75 and it's shipped free. Cant beat that with a stick.

Thats the first *** I started out with.  I have indeed thrown everything on it.  Was my texas rig rod.  Recently replaced it with a dobyns dx744.  Its not my spinnerbait rod.  One of my fav rods for sure.

[johnD.]

I have 3 omens ,they are sweet..7'1 MH ,7'3 H and the 7'11 H. The MH will be perfect for your T.rigs or Senkos.

[MrTexasRigs]

Yea I'm pretty much sold on the ***, thanks everyone!

I went to Gander Mt last night in Indy and they told me they don't carry ***.  I was a little disappointed.  I was looking forward to checking out these rods.  Aside from this being a good all around rod, what rod do you recommend for fishing deep cranks?  I'm bidding on a KVD composite 7' MH/M crank rod on ebay at the moment.  It's only $50 for a new one (I think because it's last year's model or something).  Someone on another thread said this rod is very heavy.  Is that a good thing or bad thing?  If it's bad, should I cancel the bid and go with the 7' M/M cranking rod or go after a completely different brand of crank rod?  Thanks for the help.

[TNBassin']

I use a Crucial 7'mh moderate-fast action rod for all of my cranking. I don't have any experience with the kvd rod on the water but I've handled one at bps. Rod was a tad heavy but nothing to write home about. For $50 U can't beat that deal.
