Bad to da Bass Posted January 24, 2009 Posted January 24, 2009 What do you guys think is the best rod under $100.00? Thanks for the help Quote
njbasser Posted January 24, 2009 Posted January 24, 2009 I have a St Croix Premier and like it, but with the Mojo's now out I would try one of them. The Mojo's use the same blank, so they are probably very similar. Quote
Super User Marty Posted January 25, 2009 Super User Posted January 25, 2009 What do you guys think is the best rod under $100.00? Thanks for the help I don't think that question's answerable. There may not be a "best", but even if there was, nobody has tried them all. However, everybody has their favorites. My personal practice is that I don't have brand loyalty. I'll buy almost any brand if it has the length, power, action, handle and overall feel that suit my desires. I've had rods under $100 from Garcia, Quantum, Fenwick, Gander Mountain, Daiwa and others that I've been pleased with. There are a lot of decent products out there. Quote
hawgchaser Posted January 25, 2009 Posted January 25, 2009 I really like the Quantum Energy in that price range. It's a very underestimated rod. Quote
fathom Posted January 25, 2009 Posted January 25, 2009 for under $100, the compre line (and warranty) are hard to beat. Quote
jjonsgaard Posted January 25, 2009 Posted January 25, 2009 for under $100, the compre line (and warranty) are hard to beat. X2 or a Fenwick HMX Quote
Super User skunked_again Posted January 25, 2009 Super User Posted January 25, 2009 all star asr rods are nice and can be bought right. Quote
Super User ww2farmer Posted January 25, 2009 Super User Posted January 25, 2009 I have a bunch of Fenwick HMX's, and IMHO can't be beat for less than $100, I also have 3 of the new St Croix Mojo Bass rods, but have yet to fish them so I'll holdoff on judgement for now. The Compre has the best warranty and is a great rod too. I have one and would add more if the mood strikes me. If you really want to save some money, the Shimano Clarus seems like a great rod for it's price, and I have never had a bad expierance with a Berkley Series One, or Lightning Rod. Quote
TrippyJai Posted January 25, 2009 Posted January 25, 2009 I really like the Quantum Energy in that price range. It's a very underestimated rod. X2 love it more than my 2 crucials... Quote
Super User SirSnookalot Posted January 25, 2009 Super User Posted January 25, 2009 I would not buy a rod on line unless I have seen it person first and put my reel on it, I have made that mistake. As far as best, that's subjective not objective, it all lies in your own opinion. Quote
Certified Public Angler Posted January 25, 2009 Posted January 25, 2009 the compres MSRP for $90 but you can get them for about $60 and they are an excellent rod. Quote
Furbit Posted January 25, 2009 Posted January 25, 2009 I would have to agree with the Quantum Energy Rods. Very nice rods for the price. Quote
bigfruits Posted January 25, 2009 Posted January 25, 2009 shimano, st. croix, fenwick, falcon if i was to spend $100 id try out the mojo rods. Quote
MaxumBass Posted January 25, 2009 Posted January 25, 2009 I like the Allstar ASR series rods the best with St. Crois Mojo coming in a close second. The ASR feels better in my hand but its a personal preference thing. I feel the split grips make me LOOK like I know what I'm doing , even if I don't! ;D Max Quote
The Next KVD Posted January 25, 2009 Posted January 25, 2009 x4 for the compre. However, I think the st.croix mojos are going to be awesome rods as well. Quote
James Williams Posted January 26, 2009 Posted January 26, 2009 The only way you can trully tell is bye going to an outdoors shop and put them in your hand and ask questions. Most people dont have all rods to compare and give you an honest answer. Quote
The_Natural Posted January 26, 2009 Posted January 26, 2009 The Compre, Premier/Mojo, and Quantum Energy are all good rods. The HSX blanks Quantum uses are rolled by Lamiglas. Quote
Guest beowulfx71 Posted January 27, 2009 Posted January 27, 2009 the team all star rods are now $79.99, best rods for the money. Quote
Matt 825 Posted January 27, 2009 Posted January 27, 2009 I just picked up a St Croix Mojo Swimbait rod ($120) and I am very impressed with how light and sensitive it is especially for such a big rod. Quote
