    OK fellas, that is all the money I have got for a rod nothing more, nothing less.

    What would you recommend?

    Please tell me why you would recommend that rod.

    Thanks!!!!!!!!

Cabelas Fish Eagle II 80 bucks

You know what?  These are really pretty good sticks for the price!!  I was just down to the river with my son and a neighbor boy fishing for carp and I was using my Fish Eagle II 6'6" MH spinning (was a gift couple years ago and have not used it much) and I was shocked how sensitive it was.  I have never really noticed nor given this rod a chance but after today I'm backing this rod as a good deal, and even better if you get them on sale.  

My biggest gripe with this rod of mine is the strpping guide is too small, but that may not be the case with others or newer models.  I'm going to keep this one for carp and might consider another to fill a void in my finesse lineup now.

I would try to add 50 bucks to it and get an Avid

But for $120 get the premier or mojo series rods. And you'll have change left over for all those lures you "need". 8-)

[Donkey punch]

mojo.

[FishingPirate]

e21 Carrot Stix LTX

Yup.

[KYntucky Warmouth]

e21 Carrot Stix LTX

Yup.

Gonna agree with this one...can be found for less than the 150 list if you shop around.

Also gonna add a BPS Pro Qualifier for the 99 sale price and agree with the Mojo.

To be honest, I don't get the no more or no less than 120....well just the no less part...kinda limiting choices here...

[Bass_Fanatic]

Cant go wrong with a St. Croix Premiere or Mojo, Falcon Original or Lowrider, but wheres the love for some Castaway SLX3.  I have one and absolutely love it.  Also, I have a Fish Eagle II and I am very impressed with it, very strong and sensitive.  

At the end of the day, I would probably buy the mojo.

You Have Got $120.00 For a Rod

I do ? Would you mind if I filled my gas tanks, and payed my day use fees instead ? :-)

So many good rods out there.

Love my Okuma Guide Selects. My Fenwick HMG's. My G-Loomis SR 720's are awesome !

One things for sure......

No matter what you buy, or where you buy it from, I'd highly recommend finding one that you can pick up and hold in person. Even try slapping a comparable reel on it so you can get the actual feel of it, first.

The only way I'd buy a rod online, would be if I had already owned that exact rod previously.

Peace,

Fish

I really like Falcon Originals and St. Croix Premiers in that price range.

[Tin]

You can find Carrots for around $100 and about $15 to ship on a few ebay stores.

[bigtimfish]

American rodsmiths champions or team series, falcon original,or bps extreme with ext cam lock handle. just got one last week and i got more than i paid for. or a airrus co matrix

[ChiCityBasser]

I would go with the Cabelas XML, XMLTi or maybe even a Mag Touch or the Cabelas Prodigy rod. All of which are on sale and the XML and XMLTi are greats rods and even better when u catch them on sale.

[mozy]

For that range I would go with a Fenwick HMG. I have the 6'6" MH trigger rod and absolutely love it. I've read replies saying some people think it is comparable or better than the Avids, but I've never used an Avid so I can't make that claim. I have no problem recommending these rods and will likely buy more in the future.

[Bassoholics Anonymous]

I got my Crucial for under $120 on sale a few weeks ago.

[Brute]

Tackle warehouse has the Avid AVC70MF on sale right now for $129.

I know that's $9 more than you wanted to spend, but that sure seems like a great deal for a rod that usually goes for $170.
