Fuese54 Posted March 8, 2015 Posted March 8, 2015 I want to get a lews speed spool but I'm not sure what rod to get with it, are there any good baitcasting rods for around $50? Quote
PaFrogThrower9 Posted March 8, 2015 Posted March 8, 2015 I use the BPS Graphite series rods and love them. Great rods for the price. $39 a piece. 1 Quote
Joedodge Posted March 8, 2015 Posted March 8, 2015 The berkley lightning rod shocks $39 at Walmart and the halo starlight series $49 at tackle shops and some walmarts and there website. Are both great rods for the money. 1 Quote
Drew03cmc Posted March 8, 2015 Posted March 8, 2015 All Star Classic is a good Rod for $50 at Academy, but they are on sale frequently for $30. Quote

0119 Posted March 8, 2015 Posted March 8, 2015 The berkley lightning rod shocks $39 at Walmart and the halo starlight series $49 at tackle shops and some walmarts and there website. Are both great rods for the money. Ditto on the Berkeley Lightning Rod Shock. Light and great action for the money. 1 Quote
Super User Crestliner2008 Posted March 8, 2015 Super User Posted March 8, 2015 Agree with 0119, just picked one up. Designed specifically for braid, this rod is very well made and finished. Not sure about performance just yet as I just got it last week! Quote
coak Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 The Shimano Sellus is a decent rod for about $50, I had the 6'8" mh/f and was quite impressed with the weight and balance of the rod Quote
BassResource.com Advertiser FD. Posted March 9, 2015 BassResource.com Advertiser Posted March 9, 2015 I have a new Sellus and several old Lightning rod. The LR is a far more sensitive rod but I have had problems with broken guides on them in the past. I normally just repair them and keep going. Quote
BigBassLoveSenkos Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 Gander has the lexa on sale for 49.99. Not sure how good it is tho. It is relatively light, IM7 graphite. Quote
Super User Catch and Grease Posted March 9, 2015 Super User Posted March 9, 2015 The ethos rods from academy are very, very good rods for the money... Quote
Super User ww2farmer Posted March 9, 2015 Super User Posted March 9, 2015 Lightning Rod Shock, Abu Garcia Vengeance. Have and use both. Great rods for the $$. 1 Quote
Sanka629 Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 I bought an h2o express heavy for flipping and it seems to be working great so far. I heard abu makes them but I don't know for sure. Quote
Super User *Hootie Posted March 9, 2015 Super User Posted March 9, 2015 I know it probably sounds silly coming from me, but it's nice to see, not everyone has become jaded by G Loomis, Megabass, and JDM...etc. Hootie Quote
TheSmilingSwordsman Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 I've had good luck with All Star from Academy. YMMV Quote
Super User new2BC4bass Posted March 10, 2015 Super User Posted March 10, 2015 look on the flea market forum Or wait for closeout sales on upcoming redesigned or replaced models. Quote
AllTerrainAngler Posted March 11, 2015 Posted March 11, 2015 at academy we had the duckett micro magics go on closeout for 39.99 Quote
Sonik Posted March 11, 2015 Posted March 11, 2015 Wait until Thursday. Cabelas will have their Fish Eagle 50 rods on sale for $45. One heck of a deal. Quote
eirwin Posted March 11, 2015 Posted March 11, 2015 H2O Express ethos. It is a great rod for the money. It also has a heck of a return policy if for some reason they break. I had one for about a year and I took it back and they replaced it no questions asked. Quote
