Captin Obvious Posted September 12, 2008 Posted September 12, 2008 Ok guys you need tell me, out of the two which makes the best casting rods under $100, Cables or BPS ? Please add the name of the rod you are suggesting. Thanks Quote
The Rooster Posted September 12, 2008 Posted September 12, 2008 Are you only considering those two house brands and nothing else?? I'm thinking about getting into some Shimano rods myself. There's at least 3 different ones under $100 that they make. Quote
Super User Muddy Posted September 12, 2008 Super User Posted September 12, 2008 I have 3 Cabelas Fish Eagle II all 6'6" 2 med and one MH . They changed the handels on them and are clearing the old ones out They sold for 79 Bucks. Go to the all BassResource.com sponsors and click onto Cabelas Bargin Cave, then to rods they are both still in stock at 40 BUCKS>>> GREAT ROD FOR A GREAT PRICE! 8-) CHECK THIS OUT; Go to the regular Cabelas Page, go to fresh water fishing, go to casting rods; Click onto Cbelas Classic Casting rodsa ( they sell for 20 bucks) when you get to that rods page, on the right is a list of similat products. The old Cabelas fish eagle II is ther for only 30BUCKS, i would buy it from that way and save even 10 bucks more I do not care who makes it YOU CAN NOT FIND A BETTER ROD FOR 30 bucks. Quote
Captin Obvious Posted September 12, 2008 Author Posted September 12, 2008 I would look at other brands only I can't find any that sell for less than $100 sure some are for $99.95 but thats $100 after tax. I find that the best cheaper tackle is made by BPS or Cables.But if you have somthing made by someone else for anywhere in-between $80-$50 please tell me. thanks Quote

Super User grimlin Posted September 12, 2008 Super User Posted September 12, 2008 I use both bass pro and cabela's....I like both... ;D Just go with the one on sale right now. Quote
Super User dodgeguy Posted September 12, 2008 Super User Posted September 12, 2008 both bps extreme and cabela's fish eagle 2 are great rods.imho there is no better rod at that price than either of those.i am partial to the extremes. Quote
BigBrotherThunda Posted September 12, 2008 Posted September 12, 2008 one thing i will say for the BPS rods is that if you break one, you take it back to the store, tehy hand you a new one, simple as that. Quote
Daniel My Brother Posted September 12, 2008 Posted September 12, 2008 There are a lot of posts lately about BPS versus Cabelas gear. I think both house brands offer great value and are supported with generous return policies. I do worry sometimes that BPS offers "limited edition" versions of some of their more popular rods and reels at greatly reduced prices. Please know that if you buy a limited edition Pro-Qualifier or a limited edition Extreme, you are probably getting a lesser quality rod or reel. Quote

YOU CANT FISH WITH A WARRANTY! I would rather fish products that you do not need to ever use the warranty, and by the way Cabelas has a very generous replacement policy , as long as you have some kind of reciept Quote
