Big Fish Small Pond Posted October 18, 2014 Posted October 18, 2014 What is the best two piece casting rod for overall bass fishing? Quote
Hogsticker Posted October 18, 2014 Posted October 18, 2014 You will have to look overseas if you want better than great. St. Croix makes some nice 2 piece sticks. Quote
IAY Posted October 18, 2014 Posted October 18, 2014 I have BPS XPS Travel series and its pretty protean. Quote
Super User Raul Posted October 18, 2014 Super User Posted October 18, 2014 How much are you willing to spend ? Japanese rod manufacturers like MajorCraft or GraphiteLeader have some very really nice 2 piece rods. Quote
paleus Posted October 18, 2014 Posted October 18, 2014 Abu Veritas comes in a 2 piece. I've got one for travel, but I use it regularly as well. $100. Mine is a first gen. The 2.0 should be even nicer. Quote
Super User DogBone_384 Posted October 18, 2014 Super User Posted October 18, 2014 I've got 6'6" M/F and 6'9" MH/F Veritas that I really like. They load up nice and cast well regardless of the reels I've tried on them. I've not seen many other manufacturers out there making 2 piece casting rods. Best of luck with your choice. Quote
OntarioFishingGuy Posted October 18, 2014 Posted October 18, 2014 You can get a 6'6'' M, 6'6'' MH and 7'H St Croix Premier, all 2 piece. Quote
Super User Maxximus Redneckus Posted October 18, 2014 Super User Posted October 18, 2014 I use a couple shimano volteus 2piece rods .For 20$ each not bad rods.You can find them at ollies Quote
I.rar Posted October 18, 2014 Posted October 18, 2014 A lot of bps rods come in 2 piece. Fenwick has 2 piece rods as well. Every Fenwick I've fished seemed to be a great rod for its price. Daiwa also has a new travel series out called the ardito that's looks nice. Quote
Pinoy_Basser Posted October 20, 2014 Posted October 20, 2014 Gloomis GLX-783-2C My weapon of choice for my Bank Fishing adventures. Quote
Super User Raul Posted October 20, 2014 Super User Posted October 20, 2014 Gloomis GLX-783-2C My weapon of choice for my Bank Fishing adventures. Now that´s a nice suggestion, it does match the best two piece criteria. Quote

Best of luck with your choice. the Tackle Monkey bit me & forced me to buy a Diawa Ardito 3-piece, 7', M/F casting rod. Build quality seems top notch, and the case is really nice. I've not fished it yet, though I can tell you it feels a lot like my Fenwick Siver Hawk M/F and BPS Carbon Lite M/M (both 7'). Though temps are falling quickly, I hope to get out a couple more times to break it in before ski season. Quote
greentrout Posted November 10, 2014 Posted November 10, 2014 I live in a large urban area and I always keep my 2 piece medium rod with me whether on business or pleasure in office parks, urban creeks and canals, shopping centers, subdivisions and any other body of water I may encounter. The Cabela's Pro Guide Casting 6'6" has never let me down. Old school basser... Quote
SwimJiggin Posted November 10, 2014 Posted November 10, 2014 For a while I was on the hunt for a 2pc MH 6'6" and a M 6'6". For the medium in fast action I ended up with Cabelas Fish Eagle. It's a nice rod that is as its rating states. I ended up with a cheap Daiwa MH Fast f andombo rod that was missing the reel. I've caught a lot of bass and catfish onthat rod. So the 6'6" length is very versatile and makes a good trunk rod. I also like the Gander Guide Series. I do have a good deal of St. Croix but not 2pc. Quote
Grantman83 Posted November 10, 2014 Posted November 10, 2014 The new Daiwa travel look pretty sweet. That's the route I would go Quote
EvanT123 Posted November 10, 2014 Posted November 10, 2014 If you want the best you have to go custom. Quote
Snyper Posted June 22, 2015 Posted June 22, 2015 For $49.00 (regular price) or best price on sale $29.99, I have several (6) 2 pc. Cabela's Pro Guide rods and have found them every bit as good at performance as the other rods that I spent 3 to 4 times the money for. I may have just been lucky, but they seem to hold up as well as have the right action that I require for varied types of lures and techniques that I use. I have comparable one piece Pro Guide rods as well that are my mainstay, and usually keep the two piece rods for the trunk of the car for long trips away. I don't have a Pickup anymore, though I wish I did for some of the ponds that I fish. My favorites are the 7' heavy for pitchin' and flippin' and the 7' medium heavy for wormin'. Last ones ordered were on sale for $34.99. Quote
