100 dollar rod??

[.zoso]

I mostly bank fish but plan to get a kayak soon. Looking for a solid all around rod to pair with my 6:8:1. Any suggestions for the best casting rod around the hundred dollar range?

Dobyns Fury - I have the 705CB (crankbait) and it's a great rod...little over that $100 mark, but well worth it.

Also, check out the Diawa Tatula XT rods, $99.00 to 109.00. Very light, good action. I have a few and they fish above their price point.

Dobyns fury, Shimano slx, and the st croix bass x are all great rods. Each one has models that stand out at that price point.

Agreed, plus these can be found for less than $99, with a five year warranty.

The Daiwa Tatula XT at 80 dollars on sportsmanoutfitters.com.  I own three, and plan on adding another.

Another vote for the daiwa xt.  If you can swing an extra 10 bucks, you can get the regular tatula that retails for 159, sportsman's has them 109.

The new Phenix Maxim series is out and is pretty great for the money. i believe they run from 100-110 depending on the model. 

 

i have the older maxim but the new ones are even nicer

 

if your looking to spend 120+ then i would also highely recommend a dobyns fury

I'd put the Falcon Bucoo up against any of the rods named so far. List is around $129 but they fish more like $200+

 

The Falcon Jason Christie models are a bit cheaper but still  very good

 

The Falcon Lowrider is only about $70 but is a much more sensitive rod than most any Dobyns,  St. Croix Mojo or Premier, or most Abu and Diawa rods under about $200.

 

Falcons don't get much love around here, but they make a very excellent no-BS rod and they all fish way above their price point, and they are all smooth and light.

These are pretty awesome: https://m.tackledirect.com/abu-garcia-vdtcltd70-5-vendetta-winn-grip-casting-rod.html?gclid=CjwKCAjw5Ij2BRBdEiwA0Frc9cQJmTGwf6OPHuqOiiNYOaUlkmoHdx4JuNpwRGDXnPcBb44W3si1HhoCaNkQAvD_BwE

Berkley lightning rod 

Fenwick HMG 

BPS Carbonite 2.0 

St Croix premiere or bass x

 

Hear good things about.. 

Dobyns fury

I'd also put the Lews tournament speed stick in the mix.

I’m a big fan of the BPS Carbonlite 2.0 rods. You can find them on sale at the $100 mark quite often. To be honest, I like the Carbonlites better than my St. Croix Mojo Bass rods! 

[suzuki2903]

Lews carbon fire- has Winn grip

lews tp1 - has Winn grip

denali attax series of rods - Winn grip

 

and can be ordered through dicks with free shipping. Find a coupon and you can get them cheaper

I just picked up a Diawa Tatula, and it is a stunning rod. Haven’t fished it yet, but they have a pretty strong reputation around here.

I recently picked up an Ark Lancer Pro, 7'2 MH-M and I have to say for an all around rod its been pretty amazing for $99. Can't say a bad word about it.

I’ve never heard of Ark until now, but I gotta say (after scoping them out), those rods are intriguing.

I decided to try it and I'm definitely going to order another one. The Lancer Pro is light, and it's not flashy at all. Very clean look and balances so well with my Curado 200. I love it.
