Captain Obvious Posted July 23, 2009 Posted July 23, 2009 Seems like every time I'm about to pull the trigger on a high end rod something comes up that makes me change my mind about that brand or the rod itself oh well lol Anyways I was on TW.com and I saw these rods; http://www.***.com/descpageRDCAIRRUS-AUXC.html So as usual I'm asking you guys if anyone has ever used these and if you have what's your over all take. The one thing that I am most interested in is sensitivity which ranks number one on my list. Oh and please don't talk avids and crucials its not that I'm not convinced that there great rods there just not what I'm looking for. Quote
Koop Posted July 23, 2009 Posted July 23, 2009 Handled one in a local shop, seems fairly sensitive not as sensitive as the rods you said not to mention though. I also did not like the fold down hook keeper or the removable buttstock features, I can just see them coming loose and needing to be retightened every 5 minutes. I did like the grips though, the store owner was telling me how they retain heat which is nice for fishing cold days especially up here in WI. But I didn't like the rod overall as a whole. Felt there is much better in that price range. Quote
fishntime Posted July 23, 2009 Posted July 23, 2009 Thought about giving thoose rods a shot, then I came across GBlanks. Boy I sure am glad I did. These rods are sweeeeeet! I fished mine for the first time today. It is hands down the best rod I own. ;D Quote
FishDontLikeMe1301600221 Posted July 24, 2009 Posted July 24, 2009 i have a airrus co matrix in a 7mh that i use for an all around setup,imo the action is perfect and the rods themselves are light,i have swapped mine out with a few different reels and it seems to balance well with no matter what you put on it.i dont use it alot or as much as i should nor have i ever sunk into a big fish with it yet,but it has handled ALOT of 5-6# smallies and lm for me over time.one great thing about airrus is they have an excellet warranty,no sending in money to fix your rod,its broken they fix it free.

ChiCityBasser Posted July 24, 2009 Posted July 24, 2009 Great looking rod and looks like something I would love to try and of course its in the price range I like as well Quote
BenoBreath Posted July 24, 2009 Posted July 24, 2009 I've got an Airrus Centurion 7'6" , two piece, IM6, med spinning rod, 12-20lb. line. It's rigged up with a Shimano 4000 reel, loaded with 50lb. braid. (overkill) I use it mainly for throwing zoom horny toads, stanley ribbits etc. I love the long handle for two-handed casts, breaks down for easier transport. great rod for a decent price ! BB Quote
bigtimfish Posted July 24, 2009 Posted July 24, 2009 I have held but not fished them, so I can not say too much. They all seem to be of good quality. I especially like the Copperhead. Quote
Captain Obvious Posted July 24, 2009 Author Posted July 24, 2009 thanks guys sounds good keep it coming Quote
Super User Tin Posted July 24, 2009 Super User Posted July 24, 2009 One of the best rods for the price out there. I have a few XL spinning rods. I love the nice short handles. Quote
Banor Posted July 24, 2009 Posted July 24, 2009 I've owned 8 Airrus rods in the past few years. I have zero complaints. They are great rods and come at a great price. I still use 3 of them but have replaced 5 of them over time with GLoomis rods (who wouldnt?). I dont think you can go wrong with an Airrus rod, and the warranty is very good. B Quote
