RippinLips4 Posted April 2, 2014 Posted April 2, 2014 Ok, So I was looking at a more cost friendly rod. I like dobyns but they are way expensive I bought a duckett. In hand it feels nice. The guides are all straight and balances well. I will be doing a full review after I fish it some more. Paired with a BPS PQ. I got the 7' heavy for jigs/ heavy t rigs Quote
Megastink Posted April 3, 2014 Posted April 3, 2014 I have seven Ducketts; I'm a bit of a fan. 1 Quote
bigflippin Posted April 3, 2014 Posted April 3, 2014 They are not bad rods but I think for the money there are better options. The *** or Irod genesis 2 1 Quote

RippinLips4 Posted April 3, 2014 Author Posted April 3, 2014 They are not bad rods but I think for the money there are better options. The *** or Irod genesis 2 Had a 13 hated the reel seat. I haven't heard good things about irod costumer service or guides/blank problems. Quote
Chief 2 Posted April 3, 2014 Posted April 3, 2014 I purchased one a couple of months ago with the micro guides. So far I am pleased with it. Quote
bigflippin Posted April 3, 2014 Posted April 3, 2014 Had a 13 hated the reel seat. I haven't heard good things about irod costumer service or guides/blank problems. I have never had a problem with customer service from Irod. It's nice that the number on the website is the owner cell number. I wast a fan of Dobyns warranty and the Duckett rods to me are no different than the skeet Reese rods. To each his own Quote
Brian Needham Posted April 3, 2014 Posted April 3, 2014 . I wast a fan of Dobyns warranty what's not to like? you can snap it over your knee, pay the processing/shipping and you get a new rod, no questions. Quote
bigflippin Posted April 3, 2014 Posted April 3, 2014 what's not to like? you can snap it over your knee, pay the processing/shipping and you get a new rod, no questions. I just had a problem with them on a couple of champion extremes. Just personal preference Quote
Brian Needham Posted April 3, 2014 Posted April 3, 2014 I just had a problem with them on a couple of champion extremes. Just personal preference so you sent in your rod and a check and they didnt send you a new one? (which is industry standard) dont want you to think i am busting your chops, I just want to hear the horror story if there is one. Quote
Mikell Posted April 3, 2014 Posted April 3, 2014 Ive got a duckett ghost which is there entry level at 100 paired with a shimano caenan its my lightest combo i have, ive got the 7'3 MH for frogging and what not i love it Quote
Amarley Posted April 3, 2014 Posted April 3, 2014 They are not bad rods but I think for the money there are better options. The *** or Irod genesis 2 Genesis II is my favorite rod. I'll take a genesis II over omens, gl2's, powells, and most other rods within $100. Quote
bigflippin Posted April 3, 2014 Posted April 3, 2014 It's just my opinion guys. I had a problem that I discussed with Gary himself a few years back. I wasn't happy with how it was handled. Everybody has there preference on what rod the choose to use. I have been fortunate enough to fish with lots of brands high end and entry level and I make my decisions on what I feel best suits my needs.im bashing anybody's brand just stating my opinion. Quote
