I had purchased those Cabela’s rods a long time ago and I just feel so comfortable with them throwing stick worms, I haven’t changed them out yet.   I will be sad the day they break.  They are dedicated to wacky stick worms.  
 

 

Are you talking about these? With the gray Winn grips? They were $100 but they'd be on sale for $80 from time to time? If so I couldn't agree more! I bought them both around 6 years ago. These rods definitely punched above their price tag. I've heard that Lew's made them for them, but not sure if that's true. 

 

 

I have the 6'10 M spinning shaky head model which I used to use for dock skipping weightless wacky Senkos. I don't use it much anymore. I switched to a 6'9 Zodias for that now.

 

And then I have the 7'3 heavy frog rod. I've tried "upgrading" it multiple times over the years. but to this day it's still my primary frog rod. It's just so good. Plenty of power to get them out of the thick stuff, but also has a really nice tip for walking frogs in open water. Also, it weighs 4.68 oz. Which is good for a $100 7'3 H rod. My 7'2 MH Expride A's weigh 4.60 oz. 7'2 Megabass Orochi Diabo weighs 4.98 oz.

My stickbait setup is a G Loomis GLX 842c with a Daiwa 103 Type F…

You got it buddy!!   I have tried replacing mine as well and they are still in the rotation.  I also bought one of the red rods that was a step down from the ZX.  I think they were like $79.   I got it for $39 on close out.  That rod is sick for the price.  It is my frog rod and has taken a beatin and keeps on going.
