Jraut98 Posted July 19, 2014 Posted July 19, 2014 In your opinion what is your favorite spinning rod brand. I'll need it in med or med heavy. Either 6" or 6'6. Fast action. Quote
Super User tomustang Posted July 19, 2014 Super User Posted July 19, 2014 Something longer than 6'6. A 6'8MXF or 6'10MXF is very versatile. Quote
Super User tomustang Posted July 19, 2014 Super User Posted July 19, 2014 Brands are subjective Quote
Super User F14A-B Posted July 19, 2014 Super User Posted July 19, 2014 I'd pull the trigger on a Rod built here in the USA, St. Croix.. Certain loomis, NFC, if you really want something special? Have a Rod built. Of course it all comes back to you, money and you're need. Kistler Falcon Plenty of Rod company's right here in good ole USA! 2 Quote
Mike2841 Posted July 19, 2014 Posted July 19, 2014 St croix avid 6'8" mxf is my favorite that I've used. I've got my eyes on the 6'6" mh legend elite tho 2 Quote

Arv Posted July 19, 2014 Posted July 19, 2014 Lol, best brands... You're going to get every different rod company out there. It will wind up being a popularity contest, especially if you don't give a price range, and even still it will be a popularity contest. That doesn't mean the rods aren't good, they usually are, but again, without giving a price you're going to get everywhere from 50-500$ rods. With that said my favorite is a Dobyns champ extreme.

Super User roadwarrior Posted July 19, 2014 Super User Posted July 19, 2014 St croix avid 6'8" mxf is my favorite that I've used. That's a great rod! 1 Quote
jbw252 Posted July 19, 2014 Posted July 19, 2014 Very subjective topic... but for me it's a Dobyns Savvy Micro Guide 7'0" Medium Spinning Rod SSM 703 SF or a St. Croix Premier PS66MF 6'6" Fishing Rod. Quote
Hot n Tot Posted July 19, 2014 Posted July 19, 2014 The St. Croix 6'-8" MXF is a great rod. Also t he 6'-3" Avid is nice, especially topwaters and jerkbaits. In the Loomis line, the SJR722 is hard to beat. Quote
OntarioFishingGuy Posted July 19, 2014 Posted July 19, 2014 I have a couple avids and they are great rods. Quote
curtis9 Posted July 19, 2014 Posted July 19, 2014 I the Croix 6'8" MXF is a great rod. If your budget allows the NRX 822S or 852S are fantastic. Quote
ThatZX14Fella Posted July 19, 2014 Posted July 19, 2014 The best rod out there? The one you think is the most comfortable in your hands and the one that you like. What suits someone else may not suit you. That's like expectlng someone else's pants to fit you perfectly and feel comfortable. Quote
Global Moderator Mike L Posted July 19, 2014 Global Moderator Posted July 19, 2014 Go find youself a Crucial on sale, if value is a priority. To me the Phenix M1 m/xf is a premium rod right up there with the most popular ones on here. Mike Quote
LMB KING Posted July 19, 2014 Posted July 19, 2014 St.Croix or G.Loomis. If you want cheap but Ugly Stik just came out with a new rod in Icast called the ugly stik elite. It has alot of graphite in it but still bulletproof Quote
Super User new2BC4bass Posted July 19, 2014 Super User Posted July 19, 2014 Well when I got back into fishing I went mostly with baitcast gear. Previous gear was all spinning, but the best rod I owned at that time was a Berkley Lightning. Still have it and still like it. My spinning rod selections since have been very limited. I have become a fan of Fenwick rods....both in casting and spinning. Excellent rods for the money. That is the company I would be looking at if I were going to be spending less than $150. Quote
Super User FishTank Posted July 19, 2014 Super User Posted July 19, 2014 I too have to say, the 6'8" MH X-fast is a sweet rod. One of the best bangs for the buck around. Quote
Capt.Bob Posted July 20, 2014 Posted July 20, 2014 So many votes for St Croix, who am I to disagree,,, they make many great rods, and I love my 6'8 and 6'3 MXF rods. If I only had one it would be 6'6" to 7', if you got the money, Legend Elite, a little less is the Avid, and I have said many times this is the best rod for the money today in my opinion. If your on a budget the Premier is very light and sensitive and available in a power and action for anything you are likely to peruse!! But don't buy one if you don't want to buy more!!! Quote
Super User SirSnookalot Posted July 20, 2014 Super User Posted July 20, 2014 The best rod out there? The one you think is the most comfortable in your hands and the one that you like. What suits someone else may not suit you. That's like expectlng someone else's pants to fit you perfectly and feel comfortable. Yep ! For me there is only 1, it's a rod that casts like the wind, a med spinning has the backbone to handle 30# fish, cork looks as good as the day I bought it, which was nearly 10 years ago. I have 7 of them, 2 boat rods, 4 inshore and a light action I use for bass fishing. That's a Hurricane Redbone, may not be the "best" rod but it sure is my favorite by far. These rods have never failed me. A portion of the price is donated to the Cystic Fibrosis foundation, which is plus for me. Quote
