Matt Jungblut Posted January 16, 2007 Posted January 16, 2007 i dont own any bass pro rods or reels but i highly doubt there are any way near top loomis or croix ur talking about 2 companys that only do 1 thing build rods and there top of the line rods have many many years of research and testing unlike johnny rods that have only been on the market for a few years well thats my 2 cents take it or leave it my brother has a johnny reel and all he can say about it is look how long the handle knobs spin after u take ur hand off them Quote
Super User FishTank Posted January 16, 2007 Super User Posted January 16, 2007 I have a Johnny Morris 7' M casting rod and have found it to be a good rod for the money. Is it as good as a St. Croix Avid or any G.loomis rod? No way. But for the money and at it's price point, I find it hard to beat. It has a great reel seat and guides but the sensitivity is just on par with rods at the same price. Quote
Super User .ghoti. Posted January 16, 2007 Super User Posted January 16, 2007 I have one JM rod, a 7' MH. Got it on sale for $120. At that price it's hard to beat. At the normal price of $150, it's a toss up between it and an Avid. I have both and can't say that one is better than the other. I'm in the market right now for two new rods. Got a new Millionaire reel and an older TD that I finally got around to repairing. I'm looking at the JM, an Avid and a TD Light&Tough. I currently have one of each rod, and it's a difficult decision for me. I like all three. I'm leaning towards one JM and one L&T, at this point. I may change my mind more than once before I get to BPS. I don't have any top end Loomis or St Croix rods, so I can't compare the JM to them. Quote
