ShsBassin16 Posted October 25, 2015 Posted October 25, 2015 I've been looking for a nice spinning rod that can do almost anything but really Excell while shakyhead fishing. Currently using a 7' M veritas. Quote

Dypsis Posted October 25, 2015 Posted October 25, 2015 Knowing your price range would help. I love my NRX 852. I throw shakey head, drop shot, senkos, Ned, split shot and its a great all purpose rod. 1 Quote

Super User BrianinMD Posted October 25, 2015 Super User Posted October 25, 2015 I found the perfect rod, for me, formthis application by going custom from DVT. Let him know what you want and you will get it exactly as you want. Quote
MikeFL52 Posted October 25, 2015 Posted October 25, 2015 I use a Powell Max 703 -- 7' Med/Ex Fast Quote
Lucky Craft Man Posted October 26, 2015 Posted October 26, 2015 I second the G Loomis NRX 852S JWR. Great all around spinning rod. 1 Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted October 26, 2015 Global Moderator Posted October 26, 2015 I use a 6' 10" M/F St. Croix LTB and it is by far the best shakyhead rod I've owned. However, for an all around spinning rod, the 6' 8" M/F "Wacky Style" LTB is the best all around spinning rod I've ever owned. Quote

It's interesting they have the same rods two inches apart but labeled for different purposes. I have to wonder if it's a different blank or something. I will say if the walleye series ever goes in the bargin room, I'm in trouble. 1 Quote

Makes it a great shakyhead rod but not as good for an all around rod. Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted October 26, 2015 Global Moderator Posted October 26, 2015 Just double checked and the 6' 10" IS an XF, so I guess that makes sense why it feels like one 1 Quote
EvanT123 Posted October 26, 2015 Posted October 26, 2015 Just double checked and the 6' 10" IS an XF, so I guess that makes sense why it feels like one They have a lot of rods on that chart, it's easy to miss one lol. I just noticed they have a 6'8 mf and 6'8mxf and 6'10mxf. Mind boggled. Quote
olegs Posted October 26, 2015 Posted October 26, 2015 I second the G Loomis NRX 852S JWR. Great all around spinning rod. X3 Quote
Robert Riley Posted October 26, 2015 Posted October 26, 2015 I use a Fenwick EliteTech (older model) and it's awesome, 6'8MXF. I also have a GLoomis GL2 JWR that's good, not as good, but pretty good. TBH, anything that's around a 7' Medium is good, i'd shoot for lightness as a close second to most important trait next to sensitivity. Quote
DTack Posted October 26, 2015 Posted October 26, 2015 The best for me is a Dobyns dx743s, a little heavier action than some people like but for me it's great. Quote
imagine29028 Posted October 26, 2015 Posted October 26, 2015 Said in the other post...Berkley Cherrywood series...best $25 you'll spend. http://t.basspro.com/Berkley-Cherrywood-Spinning-Rod/product/12101705270749/ Quote
blckshirt98 Posted October 26, 2015 Posted October 26, 2015 Phenix M1 7'2" M/XF is my do-it-all spinning rod. If I could go back and buy my spinning rods all over again I'd buy one of those and pass on the half dozen Shimano rods I bought. Quote
tracker01 Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 GLoomis SJR782 IMX Oh yeah, got my vote. Quote
UKCATSBASSER Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 I have an nrx 852s. That 7'0 veritas M is more like most companies MH. That thing was stiff for me. Quote
