Bass XL Posted January 11, 2007 Posted January 11, 2007 What would be a good worm (texas rig) rod around the 100-115$ range? Quote
Super User KU_Bassmaster. Posted January 11, 2007 Super User Posted January 11, 2007 St. Croix Premier, Shimano Compre MH, fast tip I've used both and prefer the Premier Quote
Fishin49er Posted January 11, 2007 Posted January 11, 2007 I use my BPS Extreme rod for worming, its a 6'6" MH . Its a great rod for 70 bucks, not as much as you wanted to spend but i dont know if thats a problem. Quote
Bass XL Posted January 11, 2007 Author Posted January 11, 2007 just to clear it up, this will be used for ''casting'' not pitching or flipping.. yeah i ment $115 topps Quote
Super User Catt Posted January 11, 2007 Super User Posted January 11, 2007 All Star, American Rodsmith, Browning, CastAway, Daiwa, Falcon, Fenwick, Shimamo, St Croix Take your pick! My personal choice Castaway CSAP68 Sport Series Med. Heavy All Purpose Length: 6' 8 Line Class: 10 to 17 lbs. Lure Weight: 5/16 to ¾ oz Quote
jdw174 Posted January 11, 2007 Posted January 11, 2007 Falcon Lowrider LFC-6-17 or the LFC-6-1610 (one is 7', the other is 6'10"). Great rods in your price range. Quote
Hot n Tot Posted January 11, 2007 Posted January 11, 2007 For your price range I'd recommend a St. Croix Premier 6' casting rod in either Med or Med heavy power with a fast action (PC60MF or PC60MHF). Quote
justfishin Posted January 11, 2007 Posted January 11, 2007 6'6" or 7' MH Team All Star or a Gator Rod for off the rack rods are hard to beat. Check into some of the rods the guys like Alpster and ReelMech produce. They look pretty state of the art to me and if you could get them to make you one I would bet it would be exactly what you want for a worm rod. Quote
bugman Posted January 11, 2007 Posted January 11, 2007 For your price range I'd recommend a St. Croix Premier 6' casting rod in either Med or Med heavy power with a fast action (PC60MF or PC60MHF). Ditto! I like the St. Croix (PC60MF) very easy to cast and has enough backbone. Great all around rod, I use it 75% of the time. Quote
Pond Hopper Posted January 11, 2007 Posted January 11, 2007 I have the St. Croix Premier in the 6'6" MH F and it is all I use for worms, jigs, tubes, etc. I love this rod and it was my first quality rod and the sensitivity is great for the price. I would highly reccomend it and it can also be used for other applications. Quote
Super User dodgeguy Posted January 11, 2007 Super User Posted January 11, 2007 team all star TAS 787HJ for $99 or a bass pro pro qualifier 6-6 mh for $119 (only $4 over). Quote
Super User FishTank Posted January 11, 2007 Super User Posted January 11, 2007 St. Croix Premier or if you can catch it on sale a BPS Johnny Morris 6'6'' MH. Quote
flyphisher # Posted January 12, 2007 Posted January 12, 2007 6'10" Team Allstar Heavy, extra fast tip. IMHO, the length gives you alot more leverage and power on hookset and feels and fishes better than a similar 7'. Quote
Super User dodgeguy Posted January 12, 2007 Super User Posted January 12, 2007 i have a johnny morris 6-6 mh.it's slighty mushy for a general worm rod.the pro qualifier is a little heavier action.i use my johnny morris for rattletraps and cranks. Quote
Super User FishTank Posted January 12, 2007 Super User Posted January 12, 2007 After reading DodgeGuy's post, I have to agree the Johnny Morris Rod is a bit "mushy". It seems to be more of a moderate rod for crank baits but I have used it with some weighted T-Rigged worms and have done well. In any case, it is a good rod for the money ($119 when I found it on sale). Quote
Bass XL Posted January 12, 2007 Author Posted January 12, 2007 i might get the Croix Premier, and i was thinking of getting the 3/16 to 5/8, would that be good? Quote
Super User Catt Posted January 12, 2007 Super User Posted January 12, 2007 Lure Weight: 3/16 to 5/8 This is to light for fishing a worm, go with no less than 5/16 to ¾ oz Quote
Guest avid Posted January 12, 2007 Posted January 12, 2007 the price point you selected has more good quality rods than any other I can think of. You can't go wrong with the St. Croix premiere, so that would be an excellent choice. MH fast would be the best power and action. good luck and have fun avid Quote
Hot n Tot Posted January 12, 2007 Posted January 12, 2007 I will go against the grain here a bit, and suggest you look at a 6' length. I find it much easier to finesse my worms with the shorter length, because when I manipulate the worm with my rod tip I'm not moving it as much as I would with a longer rod. Also, I cast more accurately with that lenght. For the worming you described, I'd get the Premier PC60MF, and it will also double as a great spinnerbait rod. Good Luck! Quote
Ozarker Posted January 12, 2007 Posted January 12, 2007 Spend and extra 10 bucks and get a Falcon Cara. Great rods Quote
Guest DavidGreen Posted January 12, 2007 Posted January 12, 2007 Here ya go ;D St.Croix - PC70MHF 7', MH Fast, Line:10 - 20, Lure:3/8 - 1, Weight 4.7oz., MSRP $110.00 Fine rod great blank (I have built on them). Tight Lines!! Quote
Ozarker Posted January 12, 2007 Posted January 12, 2007 Here ya go ;DSt.Croix - PC70MHF 7', MH Fast, Line:10 - 20, Lure:3/8 - 1, Weight 4.7oz., MSRP $110.00 Fine rod great blank (I have built on them). Tight Lines!! I will SECOND this rod as well! Quote
Super User RoLo Posted January 12, 2007 Super User Posted January 12, 2007 Daiwa, Shimano and St Croix all make excellent mid-priced blanks. My personal favorite is the Daiwa Light-and-Tough 6'6 MH trigger rod - $120 They use an IM-6 blank with remarkable latitude: Lure Wgt: 1/8 to 1oz - Line Wgt: 10 to 17lb The Johnny Morris (an excellent rod) feels mushy by comparison.
