Trent, B Posted November 15, 2007 Posted November 15, 2007 Any suggestions on a casting rod made for spinnerbaits around $200? Quote
Super User Jig Man Posted November 15, 2007 Super User Posted November 15, 2007 It all depends on the weight of the baits you throw. I use 3 different rods for spinnerbaits. They range from 6.5' to 7' from MH to H. It all depends on the size of the bait. For 3/8 tandem, single and buzz I like the MH rods. For 1/2s I like the H. The rods I use are Gloomis IMX 783, 843, and 844. They are priced from around $230-$265. I like them all but for the range of baits one rod won't do it all. The H is too stiff for long casts on the lighter baits and the MHs are too limber for the heavier ones. Quote
Ky_Lake_Dude Posted November 15, 2007 Posted November 15, 2007 I use an All Star AC 6ft 10in MH Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted November 15, 2007 Super User Posted November 15, 2007 Just took advantage of the sale going on at Reed's. Ordered a St. Croix Legend Elite EC70MHF which I plan to match up whith a Shimano Chronarch 100. MSRP is $340, bought mine for $204, no sales tax and free shipping. This will be my dedicated spinnerbait rod. The rod I have used for several years is a Avid AC66MF. You can get it right now at Reed's for about $100.This stick has a soft tip and has also been my "treble hook" rod. With a few recent acquisitions, this will now be used almost exclusively as my jerkbait rod. I have it saddled with a Shimano Calais 200. Quote
Super User cart7t Posted November 15, 2007 Super User Posted November 15, 2007 I have an All Star IM10X, 6'8" MH, Zell Rowland spinnerbait special. The same rod is available in either a Team All Star or a Platinum series. If I'm tossing lighter weight baits like 1/4 oz I'll use an old AS classic BCM-6 med/fst. Quote
Super User Chris at Tech Posted November 15, 2007 Super User Posted November 15, 2007 I love my Abu Garcia Revo STX and Kistler Mg MH 69APC for 3/8 - 1/2 oz spinnerbaits and buzzbaits. Quote
Lucky Craft Man Posted November 15, 2007 Posted November 15, 2007 I have the G Loomis SBR813C. This rod is extremely well suited for spinnerbaits and it is right at $200 retail (though, I found my for $160 on-line). Quote
