Redtail Posted January 25, 2007 Posted January 25, 2007 I like to fish mostly soft plastics, Senkos, Ikas, Flukes etc and I'm looking to get a new rod in a couple weeks at the Sportmens Show in Central MA. I have a Shimano Stradic I want to put with it. I'm using the BPS 6.6' med action Extreme with it right now. Is there anything out there for around a couple hundred that would make a huge difference in sensitivity, performance etc? Thanks in Advance! Quote
Super User Raul Posted January 25, 2007 Super User Posted January 25, 2007 St Croix or GLoomis ? Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted January 25, 2007 Super User Posted January 25, 2007 This is a great rod for the price: http://www.reedssports.com/Product.taf?_function=detail&_ID=3081 Quote
Bean Counter Posted January 26, 2007 Posted January 26, 2007 All Star makes nice rods and the Fenwick Roadwarrior mentioned is a nice rod. But my favorite rods in that price range are St Croix Avids. Quote
Super User flechero Posted January 26, 2007 Super User Posted January 26, 2007 That's sort of vague... Loomis offers a wide range of rods for "a couple hundred" In fact, for that range + 20 or 30 dollars, you could swing a GLX from fatfishfarmer... I don't think you could ask for much more rod than that!! But if you have to buy at the show, I can't help since I don't know what will be for sale there. Quote
Lightninrod Posted January 27, 2007 Posted January 27, 2007 Here ya go. I have four of them. They are light in weight(will float a reel on the water), sensitive, forgiving, and yet powerful. Dan Quote
Super User FishTank Posted January 27, 2007 Super User Posted January 27, 2007 My favorites at that price would have to be the St. Croix Avid ($160) or for about $70 more a G. Loomis IMX(SJR782S) both are a 6'6'' M. The Loomis is worth the extra bucks but both are fine rods. One other choice would be a G. Loomis BSR803 Mossyback. I have not fished this one but I have looked at it and it is a fine rod for around $215. Quote
