Green Trout Posted April 17, 2015 Posted April 17, 2015 I am looking at getting a medium heavy Duckket Ghost Rod for my jigs, T Rigs, spinnerbaits, and Flukes. How is this Rod if you have used it before? Quote
Joedodge Posted April 17, 2015 Posted April 17, 2015 I wish I had some input for ya. But I'm very interested in responses. And curious what the real deal is on these rods and braid? Quote
AllTerrainAngler Posted April 17, 2015 Posted April 17, 2015 I have more ghosts returned where i work than anything. For the same price i'd rather have the new veritas 2.0s. Quote
Bostonstronggggg Posted April 17, 2015 Posted April 17, 2015 If you don't get the Duckett rod. The 2 other best rods in that price range, I would look at, are the "*** - *** Black" and the "Abu Garcia - Veritas 2.0" Best to worse IMO: 1) *** Black 2) Veritas 2.0 3) Ghost Quote
Verisimilidude Posted April 17, 2015 Posted April 17, 2015 I have one. They're extremely light (I would call it surprisingly light), with good backbone. I have mine paired with a Revo sx and 30 lb power pro. No complaints so far. Quote
Joedodge Posted April 17, 2015 Posted April 17, 2015 Something just draws me to these rods. I'm super pleased with my halo rods. But I still wana try a duckett Quote
Chris186 Posted April 17, 2015 Posted April 17, 2015 I have a ghost 7'3" heavy i use for jigs. My only complaint would be that the handle is longer than I prefer, other than that its a good rod. Quote
mhilgtx Posted April 17, 2015 Posted April 17, 2015 I have two ducketts not real thrilled with them. The 30 days is almost up and they are going back. Quote
Theangler1 Posted April 17, 2015 Posted April 17, 2015 I have a 6'8" mh ghost and I use it for pretty much the same things you intend to use your step up for. The rod is super light and I could fish with it all say without much fatigue. I have fished some decent sized jigs with it too and really set the hook well in the fish. Great overall rod. I have mine paired up with a Lews lfs reel. Great combo! Quote
Super User Oregon Native Posted April 18, 2015 Super User Posted April 18, 2015 Love my Ghost and want another....store where I bought mine said he has only had one returned and he sells a bunch. Anglers must be less abusive in this area!? 1 Quote
Super User new2BC4bass Posted April 18, 2015 Super User Posted April 18, 2015 If I liked a certain rod well enough, I'd try it even though some are reporting breakage.....provided it was a model that could be returned. Naturally buying it in store would be the preferred method for such a rod so as to avoid the hassle of shipping it back and waiting for a new one to arrive. The Ghost is a rod I would like to try. Most people are impressed with it. Personally I've never had a rod break while fishing. I have broken one, but that was from falling face first into a rock pile. Not exactly the rod's fault. 1 Quote
