bendem Posted December 3, 2016 Posted December 3, 2016 I'm looking to get my first bc rod and reel soon, too. Am leaning toward Daiwa Tatula or Lew's Custom Speed Stick. Quote

CTBassin860 Posted December 4, 2016 Posted December 4, 2016 St.Croix Mojo Bass. Super sensitive and a ton of backbone.120-130 bucks Quote
Super User fishnkamp Posted December 4, 2016 Super User Posted December 4, 2016 Where do you live? Is there a good local tackle shop near you? If not, look at places like Bass Pro, Cabelas, Gander Mountain & Dick Sporting Goods. With just a little snooping you will find plenty of good quality rods for $150. Take a look at ST Croix, Irod, Dobyns, Abu Garcia, Lews and tons more. Check online sources like Tackle Warehouse, Monster Tackle.com and others. 1 Quote

I live in the northeast so fishing is kinda over for me now, the closest bass pro near me is bery far but i have a Cabelas pretty close. Dicks sporting goods is also very close. Thanks! Quote
Super User DogBone_384 Posted December 4, 2016 Super User Posted December 4, 2016 Good casting rods at $150? That's a long list. Go to your local tackle shops and handle as many models as you can. If you already have a reel, bring it with you and ask an employee if you can mount it to the rods you're looking at. Whichever feels the best in your hands is the one for you. Good luck shooping for a rod! 1 Quote
