Quality 2pc spinning rods out there?

Advice on quality 2pc spinning rods out there?

I'm aware of the St Croix's. Others?

I have no experience with anything but St Croix.  But I can attest to the quality of them.  I have a Triumph, Premier, and 2 Legend Elite 2-pc rods.  I can't tell the difference between them and a comparable St Croix one-piece, even at the bottom line Triumph level.

First what is your budget? What do you want the rod to do?  There are some other companies like G Loomis on the upper end and some Abu Garcia Veritas and Vendetta on the more moderate end of the spectrum.

^x2 a good friend of mine relies heavily on his 2pc Abu Garcia Veritas 2.0 spinning rod. He bought it in medium power fast action and he says it fishes slightly heavier than a "true" medium rod. But he throws everything from weightless worms and dropshots to 1/2 ounce jigs and chatterbaits on it.

Fenwick makes nice 2 piece rods.

 

I recently bought a Daiwa Crossfire 2 piece rod and it is outstanding quality for a low cost rod.

I agree with this. My Triumph 2 piece is a great rod, better than a lot of my 1 piece rods.
