Cole474 Posted January 24, 2015 Posted January 24, 2015 I have two bait casters a mh and mm. I'm looking for a spinning rod mf for some finesse bass fishing and maybe even a little trout fishing. Budget is around $100. Any suggestions Quote
Super User aavery2 Posted January 24, 2015 Super User Posted January 24, 2015 Might give a look at the *** Black, they get good reviews, and there are several here that use them and have positive things to say about them. They have 3 or 4 rods in the Medium power and Fast action, should be able to find one that meets your needs. Quote
Super User new2BC4bass Posted January 24, 2015 Super User Posted January 24, 2015 It probably isn't an unknown fact that I am a fan of Fenwick rods. I'd like to add the HMG to your list. I have to also add that the only rod I currently use from when I was fishing over 30 years ago is a 6' Berkley Lightning spinning rod. No doubt not as nice as many of today's rods, but one I don't see myself ever getting rid of. Don't use a spinning rod often today, but that rod has caught tons of fish back when spinning was all I used. I guess the fish weren't very finicky about the rod used back in those days. Quote
Super User FishTank Posted January 24, 2015 Super User Posted January 24, 2015 I recently picked up a ML Fenwick Elite Tech Walleye rod 7'2". I have only fished it once (got skunked and frozen) and I think it would work great for finesse fishing. I picked it up at Gander Mountain for $80, normally $150. It's stiff at the butt of the rod and tapers to a lighter, softer tip. Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted January 24, 2015 Super User Posted January 24, 2015 I have an Avid AVS66MLF for you to try. We'll see how you like this rod. Quote
Cole474 Posted January 24, 2015 Author Posted January 24, 2015 I've been looking @ the shimino compre and TFO Gary Loomis signature and was wondering has anybody used these before Quote
Super User Fishes in trees Posted January 24, 2015 Super User Posted January 24, 2015 When I am riding in some one else's boat and I can only carry 5 or 6 rods, my 6'3" Diawa Light & Tough Finesse rod makes the cut. It can handle any kind of line I want to put on it, from 4 lb test and 1/8 oz Slider heads to 10 lb fluorocarbon to any reasonable weight of braid. It has a sensitive enough tip and enough of a stiff butt section that I can confidently set the hook on a slider rig 50 to 60 feet away. Quote
