dev_dev13 Posted March 17, 2014 Posted March 17, 2014 I'm in the market for an all - around spinning rod for $150 or under that is available at BPS (have a gift card). Had a carbonlite and snapped in half on a hookset Quote
Banned-99884 Posted March 17, 2014 Posted March 17, 2014 Duckett, St Croix triumph, veritas... just go see which one feels the best Quote
masterbass Posted March 17, 2014 Posted March 17, 2014 I'm in the market for an all - around spinning rod for $150 or under that is available at BPS (have a gift card). Had a carbonlite and snapped in half on a hookset Can't you get it replaced under warranty? I've heard bps is great about handing you a new rod. 1 Quote
dev_dev13 Posted March 17, 2014 Author Posted March 17, 2014 That is how I obtained the giftcard. Saw 2 more that were broken at the service desk and now I do not want to buy any more. 1 Quote
frantzracing0 Posted March 18, 2014 Posted March 18, 2014 With the veritas on sale right now at $79.99 you cant go wrong. If I had the money I would buy ten of them. Super light, very balanced, great back bone. Quote
Djman72 Posted March 18, 2014 Posted March 18, 2014 I didn't like my vertias. I went with a Fenwick HMG ML-F and I love it so far. its $100 dollars so you'll have some cash left over for some tackle. Quote
Brian Needham Posted March 18, 2014 Posted March 18, 2014 the $150 catagory is the most competive..... you have MANY MANY choices so you should easily be able to find one you like. Quote
FlipSide Posted March 19, 2014 Posted March 19, 2014 Just go to your nearest BPS and see which rods feel best in your hand. In your price range it's hard to go wrong. Lots of good options Quote
Super User WIGuide Posted March 19, 2014 Super User Posted March 19, 2014 I'd say a St. Croix Premier in either 6'6" or 7' M/F or the 6'10" M/XF. Quote
MrSwimJig Posted March 19, 2014 Posted March 19, 2014 If only looking a BPS i would look at the Shimano Crucial and even look at the BPS Johnny Morris signature series rods. The Duckett rod would be a great choice also. Quote
Super User J Francho Posted March 19, 2014 Super User Posted March 19, 2014 Saint Croix Eyecon series has a couple of gems that are appropriate for bass, though they are labeled as walleye rods. I have a 6-8 mlxf that is a good all around spinner. There's also a 7' mf that is pretty sweet too. My son uses a 6-3 mlxf that is very close to my Avid with the same specs, and the bonus is they have a great handle - very comfortable. 1 Quote
