Opinions Of Duckett Ghost

[chris55552]

Just wondering if anyone can provide feedback for the Duckett Ghost rods.

[JGBassinAL]

They turn yellow when exposed to a lot of sunlight (when left out on deck while fishing). If that doesn't bother you then they are a decent rod for $100, but the *** *** Black is a way better rod for $100. Also Cabelas has the Abu Garcia Veritas on sale for $39.99 right now online. It is a better rod than the Duckett Ghost as well IMO.

I'm not seeing the Veritas sale on the site. One will be on the way to my house tomorrow if I find it. Any ideas?

[iceintheveins]

Is the *** a pretty light rod that's durable? I've heard mostly good things about them.

I saw them yesterday afternoon for 39.99 too. They must've stopped the sale because I checked just now and they're at 79.99

The Ghost is light but so is the *** and the HMG from Fenwick, yes, I'm a Fenwick fan, it is hard to beat what you get with them. The ghost is the lightest of these with the HMG the heaviest but not heavy, the *** has the biggest following and is possibly the best rod in that range but the HMG offers the best warranty as it is lifetime for $99. Truth be told, most every rod at that price point is going to make you happy so whatever you get it is going to be good.

Have a Ghost and Veritas also. I like the action on the Ghost a bit better. Both are great poles.

[Bedore]

Darn,

 

Wish the Vertias was still on sale for 39.99, I have been wanting one. But I am also considering the Duckett Ghost as well.

[mad basser]

I'm gonna give the goast a try I have read alot of bad stuff on the *** I hope I'm making the right choice

[chris55552]

Same here mad basser, I too am going to pick up a ghost saturday on my way to toledo bend.  Based on my research the ducketts are just really good rods.   In case you didnt know Duckett will release a  micro magic pro here in the next few months it should be a really good rod that fixes problems of the first micro magic 

[JGBassinAL]

I don't want to bash any brand, but there are a lot better options at every price range than any Duckett.

[.ghoti.]

If they listed actions, line weight and lure weight ratings they might get some consideration from me. Without that data, I am simply not interested.

I have owned many rods that had the specs on them but wasnt even close to what they claim to be I go by feel more than what they say the rod is sometime I think they lie

A lot of bad stuff? I haven't ... At first build quality was a bit off... Rods do break even the the Nrx breaks.. All rods can/ do break for various reasons,

[jlwest506]

Love the Ghost.  Brought in quite a few fish with mine and its going strong.

That's one awesome advantage of the NRX, that in store, anywhere , anytime, on the spot replacement! You Gotta Love that.... Also applys to the Gl2 series... Wildcards are so nice!

It would be nice if when they replaced your broken rod, they would give you a new wild card. Oh well, guess that's a little greedy on my part....lol.
