BassinNCstyle Posted May 3, 2015 Posted May 3, 2015 Broke my new rod today.Looking to get another one, but want one more sensitive. What are some I should consider? Quote
Alpha Male Posted May 3, 2015 Posted May 3, 2015 You will get a lot of rod for 200$. My personal recommendation would be a St. Croix Avid or Pinnacle Perfecta DHC5. Quote
Ozark_Basser Posted May 3, 2015 Posted May 3, 2015 MHX high mod gen 2 custom with alconite micro guides and Eva grips should run you under 200. I'm sure Mike from DVT could set you up. Quote
Super User Chris at Tech Posted May 3, 2015 Super User Posted May 3, 2015 Avid or Kistler KLX would be my suggestions Quote
OnthePotomac Posted May 3, 2015 Posted May 3, 2015 Been using a BPS Carbonlite 7' MH for several years on the Potomac for my plastics. I have found it to be incredibly light and tough. On sale for $20 off they don't cost and arm and a leg and give great performance. Quote
Boogey Man Posted May 3, 2015 Posted May 3, 2015 Been using a BPS Carbonlite 7' MH for several years on the Potomac for my plastics. I have found it to be incredibly light and tough. On sale for $20 off they don't cost and arm and a leg and give great performance. I use 6'9" MH ex. fast Carbonlite as my plastics rod and actually most of my jig fishing too. Good rods for the money, caught a lot of fish on it, plus set the hook hard on more stump bass than I care to mention, lol. Have to agree on the Pinnacle Perfecta too, VERY nice rod at a good price, but you have to like that ACS handle. I have one and if it weren't for that, I'd own several more. Quote
Grantman83 Posted May 3, 2015 Posted May 3, 2015 New lews custom speed stick...I've been slowly acquiring more and they are fantastic rods. The hm85 are on clearance at TW and are crazy good. Quote
bigturtle Posted May 3, 2015 Posted May 3, 2015 Im ganna recommend the Fenwick Aetos. Slick rod, pretty darn good sensitivity, and lifetime warranty. Quote
Capt.Bob Posted May 3, 2015 Posted May 3, 2015 Avid from St. Croix, depends on how and where you fish either the 6'8" MXF or the 7 MHF, either one you choose you have an American Made rod, with a Lifetime Warranty, and the best Customer Service in the industry,,,, 1 Quote

dwong Posted May 3, 2015 Posted May 3, 2015 My first choice would be a Kistler KLX. 2nd choice would be a Phenix Recon 2. Quote

Capt.Bob Posted May 4, 2015 Posted May 4, 2015 Which one would you recommend for jig fishing into heavy cover such as fallen trees The MHF if that was your average situation, if that is all you will be fishing is heavy cover and a lot of wood,,, I'd look at maybe going to the HF,,,, Quote
