fishking247 Posted July 14, 2015 Posted July 14, 2015 Looking for a multi purpose 7' MH casting rod for general purpose. Mainly to be used with Texas rigs, jigs, light frogging and the occasional spinnerbait/big topwater. Trying to keep it under $100.. Thanks Quote
cjam93 Posted July 14, 2015 Posted July 14, 2015 Im sure a lot of people will recommend an Abu Veritas, but honestly if it were me Id steer clear of that. I have not really had any good experiences with anything with Abu's name on it. If you are not planning on using braid than I would for sure say you should look at a Duckett Ghost. If you want to use braid then you can also look at a ***, but it will be closer to $120 if you get it new. It is also a 7'3. They do offer a $99 6'7 MH. Quote
fishking247 Posted July 14, 2015 Author Posted July 14, 2015 Definitely using 50lb braid. I've heard a lot about ***..never felt one though. I have been using st croix for years but just was seeing what other options I have Quote
ABW Posted July 14, 2015 Posted July 14, 2015 Definitely using 50lb braid. I've heard a lot about ***..never felt one though. I have been using st croix for years but just was seeing what other options I have If you do go the *** route make sure you feel one in store. The handle can be a bit uncomfortable for some. Quote

I have been using st croix for years but just was seeing what other options I have I really like my 7FT MH St croix premiers, but thats over $100. Cabelas does have an in store special on the split grip premiers; $30 off right now if you can find one in stock Quote
kschultz76 Posted July 14, 2015 Posted July 14, 2015 Plenty of competitive options in your price range. Trying using the search or browsing older threads, there have been a bunch of discussions on rods in this price range in the last few weeks. Also if you like St Croix and can deal with the handle/seat design they had their Rage rods on close out in their Bargain Room online for $99 each. Quote
Super User Choporoz Posted July 14, 2015 Super User Posted July 14, 2015 Unlike cjam, I've had good experiences with AG. I have a 7'MH Veritas 2.0 and I would not hesitate to recommend it, nor would I hesitate to buy another. Quote
