sal669 Posted October 4, 2009 Posted October 4, 2009 What are you trying to accomplish??? "One-up" your buddy or buy a GOOD rod ?????????? My $.02.....St Croix Avid or upwords, or anything similar... Quote
ejtaylor822 Posted October 4, 2009 Posted October 4, 2009 Another vote for St Croix Avid or higher, or, get a custom for exactly the technique/application you are targeting. Quote
bigtimfish Posted October 5, 2009 Posted October 5, 2009 My dad has a Magstrike, its an awesome rod. Quote
Incheon Basser Posted October 5, 2009 Posted October 5, 2009 if it was me i would buy the damiki dark angel.. you get a great rod at a decent price that got good reviews on TT. and not many people own them yet.... if i had four hundred dollars to spend on rods i would buy two.....don't know why but i always buy in pairs when it comes to rods... i feel like they need a friend or something...

Super User Grey Wolf Posted October 5, 2009 Super User Posted October 5, 2009 Did your buddy threaten you if you bought what he bought ? Get an avid if you really want to show him up. Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted October 5, 2009 Super User Posted October 5, 2009 The BEST VALUE right now is the Fenwick Techna AV on sale at Cabela's for $129. I haven't been too jazzed on this brand simply because they raised their prices from $169 to around $229. However, at the sale price, it's a no-brainer! http://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/common/search/search-results1.jsp?_dyncharset=ISO-8859-1&hasJS=true&_D%3AhasJS=+&sort=all&QueryText=fenwick+techna+av&Go.x=26&Go.y=6&_DARGS=%2Fcabelas%2Fen%2Fcommon%2Fsearch%2Fsearch-box.jsp.form23 8-) Quote
Super User KYntucky Warmouth Posted October 5, 2009 Super User Posted October 5, 2009 Of the ones you have listed, I have only used the Dark Angel. I have a 7'm spinning rod paired with a Stradic CI4 and would recommend it to anyone. Don't have any complaints with it. Quote
jbiz163 Posted October 6, 2009 Author Posted October 6, 2009 So he bought the last 2? no, but I don't want to buy the same rod as him since we fish together all the time. Quote
brushhoggin Posted October 6, 2009 Posted October 6, 2009 do not buy carrot stix i repeat...do not buy carrot stix Quote
Super User KYntucky Warmouth Posted October 6, 2009 Super User Posted October 6, 2009 do not buy carrot stix i repeat...do not buy carrot stix Can you emphasize this point from you're own personal experince? Have two, a gold and ltx, no problems with either. Quote
Lard_Bass Posted October 6, 2009 Posted October 6, 2009 I have a 7'0" LTX Extra Heavy, Fast and love it. No problems and have caught plenty of fish on it. Quote
