MichaelM Posted July 30, 2014 Posted July 30, 2014 I mostly like to throw plastics and spinners. my price point ~200-300 Rods that i'm looking at are the Fenwick HMX, *** *** Black, Powell Inferno Reels that i'm looking at are the Lews bb1 and bb2z l, Revo S and SX, and or the *** *** Anyone have experiences with these rods and reels? Thanks! Quote
MissouriBassFisherman Posted July 30, 2014 Posted July 30, 2014 I have no experience with any of these but I would recommend St. Croix Mojo Bass rod, I have one 7' MH and its working out very nicely. I'm also going to pick up a *** Black fairly soon. Quote
sofarfrome Posted July 30, 2014 Posted July 30, 2014 I have the *** black HF paired with a Pflueger Supreme XT. It might be my favorite set up. Quote
Cgrinder Posted July 30, 2014 Posted July 30, 2014 The *** is the winner in that group. For reels I would consider adding the Curado I to your search. Quote
FSUMF333 Posted July 30, 2014 Posted July 30, 2014 I just got a 13 *** Monday & it's quickly becoming my favorite. If they offered their reels with more line capacity I would switch all mine over to them. So ya it's a good one. Quote
Super User F14A-B Posted July 30, 2014 Super User Posted July 30, 2014 *** Black is a good rod for the money, I use all shimano reels, so I can't recommend those you listed, because I simply have not used them I use a 7'1" heavy fast ***. Quote
Super User new2BC4bass Posted July 31, 2014 Super User Posted July 31, 2014 *** Blacks are nice rods. Was out with mine today and surprise of surprises, I actually caught a fish on it. Handle is a bit thinner than I like. I have become a fan of Fenwick rods although I don't have an HMX. You might want to also consider the HMG. I hear the new models are very nice for the money. Mine are older models. Although I have a Lews and a couple Revos I don't have any of the models you listed so I can't make any suggestions there. I think you have some good choices in the price range you are looking at based on the reading I have done. I'd like to try a ***, but that isn't an endorsement of that reel over the others. It is simply a brand I haven't tried yet. Quote
ABW Posted July 31, 2014 Posted July 31, 2014 Lew's Tournament Pro which can be found for like $150. I have one and it is awesome. Out of your suggestions I would go with the *** Black. I think the 7'1" MH *** or the 7'3" would do you good Quote
MichaelM Posted July 31, 2014 Author Posted July 31, 2014 Customer service is also a selling point for me. I heard ***'s customer services is pretty good. Quote
