WTB: Budget entry level swimbait rod for 1-3oz glidebaits

[Bdnoble84]

Looking for something that can handle 1-3oz baits for less than 100. I want something with some bend to it as im probably only throwing glide baits with it.

You might be able to find a used Okuma Guide Select in that price range.  That's gonna be your best bet, new or used.  New is a little out of range.

the falcon Bucoo SR super duty comes in at $109 brand new and will get you there.

Dobyns Fury 795sb can usually be found at a discount and is perfect for that right range.

I was just out this morning throwing glides and Magdrafts on my FR795SB.

It's a good, all purpose heavy rod. I get long casts and can throw a heavy bait for a good while on it without getting too worn out. Keep in mind, the the baits and this technique are heavy and taxing on the body when done for a whole day; even with the right equipment.

Daiwa DX mh swimbait rod for 100 new would be my choice.

I have a Dobyns Fury 795sb - almost unused 

 

I’d do $100 for it 

 

also have an older Loomis Musky rod rates to 3oz - also $100

 

are you a lefty by chance ? I can hook you up with some deals -  I bought all this swim bait / A-rig stuff and it’s too much for my bad shoulder-

Something like the 7' 3'' Shimano SLX A Swimbait rod that is rated for 1 to 4 oz.
