Nattyboh74 Posted May 31, 2018 Posted May 31, 2018 Hopefully this will be my last post on this. I'd like suggestions on 50-75$ rods. I wanna keep them cheaper for now. Also on line suggestions too I want to use one for frogs I wabt to use one for top water, buzz baits, cranks, spinners, and jigs. So hopefully I can separate those lures into three rods. Possibly the suggestion on the Aird-x or the shocks still stand for some of the applications. But I'm opened. I know the experience of you guys will help me to get something that works well. And with three feels now, it may help making Ros decisions easier. Quote
Dtrombly Posted May 31, 2018 Posted May 31, 2018 Aird X seem hard to beat for the price. I'd get a M, MH and H. That will cover everything you want to do. Quote

I heard the M was whippy. 2 hours ago, Choporoz said: You could do worse than a HF Shock and 2 MF AG Veritas ($90 for both from FFO) and even stay below your $50/per http://www.ffo-tackle.com/ffo-rods-casting/abu-garcia-veritas-2.0-casting/FFOM1365079N.html#start=1 Hm.. is that medium okay for all the uses besides the frog? And the reconditioned part is a little harry to me... Like what exactly do they do to recondition them. To me if they need reconditioning they're broke Quote

I use them just as much as my medium heavys Quote
Nattyboh74 Posted June 1, 2018 Author Posted June 1, 2018 True. But supposedly the users of the AirdX rods say it's unusually whippy for a M powered rod Quote

Super User NHBull Posted June 1, 2018 Super User Posted June 1, 2018 You ask for opinions. You get opinions . Then you say you respect others opens more. Since there is no universal rules on flex, both can be right. I have an impulse top water that many say is a noodle, and I say it is perfect for my purpose. ........on a side note, expanding your budget slightly will greatly improve your option, but I am sure you realize this already Quote
Nattyboh74 Posted June 1, 2018 Author Posted June 1, 2018 Lol I'm not upset about the opinions, it's just casual conversation Quote
jtharris3 Posted June 1, 2018 Posted June 1, 2018 I have a 6’6” MH Aird rod and in my opinion it fishes more like a medium action rod. YMMV Quote
