4pwr Posted December 12, 2007 Posted December 12, 2007 When I travel without a boat , freshwater fishing except salmon. Walley and bassputting long 1 piece rods in a car is a pain. Would like one top of the line 2 piece spinning rod and one trigger rod. They would be used for all types of fishing except salmon and muskie. Bass and walleye mainly. Six and a half or seven foot. Ten to twenty lb test and about 3/8 to 5/8 lures. Some times a little lighter or heavier. Would love a Loomis,Croix or other high end rod. Can anyone steer me in the right direction. Perhaps there are companies out there that I am not aware of. Can not possibly justify 5 or 6 hundred dollars. 2 to 3 hundred or so will have to do. Quote
mar Posted December 12, 2007 Posted December 12, 2007 For casting, there's a 2pc version of the mbr783. I have the one piece glx version and it's my favorite. http://products.gloomis.com/gl/products/alltackle/detail.jsp?PRODUCT%3C%3Eprd_id=845524441760564&FOLDER%3C%3Efolder_id=2534374302032505&ASSORTMENT%3C%3East_id=1408474395181201&bmUID=1197502658860 Quote
Lucky Craft Man Posted December 13, 2007 Posted December 13, 2007 I agree with the above post. That G Loomis rod is about as good as it gets. I had a similar situation, where I liked to have 2-piece rods I could travel with when I didn't have my boat to transport my 1-piece rods. I ended up getting a whole line-up of Cableas XML 2-piece rods and have these as my "travel" rods. I know they are not as high end as some other rods, but they perform quite well (and with Cabelas Customer Service and warranty on these rods, I don't worry about them getting slammed into a car door, or have something roll over on them in the car, etc.) Quote
Super User Raul Posted December 13, 2007 Super User Posted December 13, 2007 Domestic or import ? Domestic: the MBR 783. Import: oh boy ! there 's a lot from where to choose right there, Daiko, Major Craft, Olympic manufacture excellent two piece rods and many of them not only have great blanks but also have a bling you wn 't find in a DM rod and won 't cost you an arm and a leg.
