Duckett Spinning Rod Vs. Cashion Spinning Rod

[T_Nix35]

Hey fellas,

 

I am fishing my first tournament this upcoming May on Greers Ferry here in the great state of Arkansas. I will be co-angling and from research I will most likely be predominately throwing finesse rigs from the back of the boat. I currently own a 7' Heavy Micro-Magic Duckett fast action with a 7:1:1 Lew's Tournament Speed Spool and a 7' Medium Micro Magic Duckett fast action with a 6:4:1 Lew's TSS Also. I have a 6'6" BPS extreme Medium Heavy with a Nitro Tournament Z 6:4:1, but will most likely not be taking it because the reel is a piece of garbage. I don't have a spinning set up and am looking to purchase one before the tournament in May. I love my Ducketts and have had no problems with them over the past year and a half, but I noticed these Cashion Rods the other day and was intrigued by the way they are built and the features they have on them. 

 

My plan is to get either a 7' Medium or Medium Heavy Duckett Micro-Magic Spinning rod. Like I said though These Cashion Rods have caught my eye and I may go with there 7'2" Shaky Head Rod (Medium Heavy). I just wanted to get some of yall's opinions on the two spinning rods and see which one y'all would select from the two.

 

Also if you have anything to say about the tournament I will be fishing in I am open to anything y'all have to say.

 

Thanks,

I have a ML, M, and a MH micro magic, all 7' and a M white ice 7'2" and really like them. I don't have any experience with cashion rods but they seem to get decent reviews. If you already enjoy your duckett baitcasters, I wouldn't hesitate to get a spinning rod. Mine have served me very well.

Thanks Ben, I am very pleased with my Ducketts also. They are great rods and I would recommend them to anybody! I am just wanting to get some input from people who have fished with both and hear their opinion between the two. For me they are both pretty expensive rods (I'm in college) and money is tight so I want to make the best decision I can.
