FoulHooked Posted March 7, 2018 Posted March 7, 2018 Looking for a midrange price point spinning rod for shakey heads.1/8 to 1/4 oz plus stickbait with 3/16 oz being the most common weight I throw. Wanting something in the 6'10 - 7'2" range in length with sensitivity being the most important selling point to me. Budget of around $150. Already have the reel that's going on it. Leaning toward the longer of the lengths I might add. Suggestions?? Quote
desmobob Posted March 7, 2018 Posted March 7, 2018 St. Croix Mojo Bass... third generation graphite blank at a bargain price. I bought one and was completely impressed with it. Tight lines, Bob 1 Quote
JFlynn97 Posted March 7, 2018 Posted March 7, 2018 I can't say enough good things about the Dobyns Sierra. Picked one up recently, it's without a doubt one of my most sensitive rods and wonderfully balanced. They run for $160-170, but if you can stretch your budget a bit I don't think you'll be disappointed. Quote
Super User fishnkamp Posted March 7, 2018 Super User Posted March 7, 2018 The Sierras are nice and so is a Powell Inferno which would run around $100. Another good rod to look at is a IRG712S Fred's Power Finesse from Irod. Quote

JDV Posted March 8, 2018 Posted March 8, 2018 You can get a brand new Dobyns Sierra 703sf (7'0" 3/16-5/8oz) right now for $153. Brand new, with a 10% off coupon through American Legacy Fishing's store through the ebay mobile app to your door on Tuesday. Done and done. Ordered mine last week when it was 20% off for $136 and arrives tomorrow! I've got the 6'9 version in the 2 power (Dobyns Sierra 692sf) for dropshotting and love it. Works great for light jerkbaits as well. Quote

This ^^ I use the Sierra 703sf with a Shimano Sahara 2500 spooled with copoly Silver Thread AN40 6# and can throw a 1/16 Keitech Tungsten Jig Head and a 3.5” Swing Impact a long way. Never had a problem. Quote
