benthinkin Posted October 20, 2014 Posted October 20, 2014 i broke one dragging a snag to the boat Quote
ksboy Posted October 20, 2014 Posted October 20, 2014 I have 2: 7' MH which I use for a spinnerbait, chatterbait rod and a 7 1/2' MH telescoping which I use for frogs and buzzbaits. I bought them both at walmart for 70-80 bucks. Check the guides before you buy to be sure they are straight. Also wouldn't hurt to be sure the rod wasn't bought, broken and returned. I bought a 7' vendetta at walmart without checking it first. It was in the clearance bin for $30. It turned out to be about 3" short and the tip was very close to the first guide. Oh well, for $30 bucks...... The Daiwa rods are OK. I don't own any really expensive rods to compare them to but I think they are fine. Quote
Super User webertime Posted October 20, 2014 Super User Posted October 20, 2014 It's a grey version of the Aird rod. 6'6" Mf is a fantastic Jerkbait and Topwater rod. I got mine for $30 @ Wal-Mart too. Quote
Josh Smith Posted October 30, 2014 Posted October 30, 2014 I have two that I bought on clearance at Walmart just to try out. They're pretty good rods -- not my style as I find the handles too long, but compared to others of their ilk, they're on the better side. Mine are medium and medium heavy. The medium heavy is looking to become a spoon rod for walleye. I just finished a 5500 from '75 or so and put it on there. It casts really well. The medium is the only medium rod I own. It works well and is a bit more "whippy" than today's MH rods. They both balance nicely and give the impression of being shorter they they are. Josh Quote
einscodek Posted October 30, 2014 Posted October 30, 2014 The 7'6 is the rod I am using more and more Its a Wallyworld version of the Aird.. a real great bang for buck at ~ $40 Its just a great rod for spinnerbaits, heck of alot more Quote
thehooligan Posted October 30, 2014 Posted October 30, 2014 I picked up the 7'6 at walmart for $30 when i got into swimbaits. Decent rod for that money. Quote
Longlivenyy Posted October 30, 2014 Posted October 30, 2014 I grabbed the 7' MH at Wal Mart for 30 bucks. Not a bad rod for under 50 dollars. I wouldn't pay full price for it though. Quote
Super User new2BC4bass Posted October 30, 2014 Super User Posted October 30, 2014 I paid full price for mine. Bought mine in Florida after one of my Falcon Originals disappeared. I've used it for a couple years when visiting. It is the 7' MH. I've used it for several different types of lures, but it often has a spinnerbait or 10 inch unweighted worm on it. I like it okay. Has done a good job for me so far. Quote
primetime Posted October 31, 2014 Posted October 31, 2014 I was just checking these out at Walmart but they wanted $64 or $69 and I was hoping they would be half off because they felt nice for $30 but for $60 I would say it is a fair deal and good rod for $60 but I know you can find much better for the same price....The Bass Pro Bionic blade is $79.99 and much better in my opinion, and Extremes and the Morris rods are $99 right now.... Black Friday is coming and November is the time when companies need to move inventory to get ready for XMas and older models from 2013-2014 will start to drop big time. I have already seen some deals on ebay that are crazy cheap and $100 rods are down to $50 etc....Quantum Tour Rods are half off on Ebay to $60 and are super nice rods and I do like Daiwa rods, I actually was looking at a heavy Lexa rod for $55 on Ebay which is a good price from what I can tell.... Okuma EVX rods are half off online as well on a site that is common but I forget the name, and the EVX is lifetime warranty and now $49.99 not $129 Quote

primetime Posted November 1, 2014 Posted November 1, 2014 It was a Sportsman outfitters? one of those websites that has Hunting and Fishing gear and an add popped up while I was on Ebay looking at Flipping sticks. I believe if not a member price was 54.99 down from $129 for Casting and spinning from light to xheavy 7'10" and if a member 49.99 and it said $5 to join. I am sure if you do a google search for Okuma EVX casting rods and hit shopping and then search by price it will come up....I have never purchased items from this site but I have seen them advertise good prices many times.... I have an EVX Telescopic Flipping Stick and 2 spinning rods and I like the spinning rods, but the Telescopic is not my favorite but it fits in my car for fishing from the bank or from shore for saltwater but I still am looking for a new Light FLipping stick and the Fenwick Rods are going down all over as well. HMG's for $74 I also saw.... Quote
