ib_of_the_damned Posted October 28, 2009 Posted October 28, 2009 Looking to upgrade my spinning setup, currently I have a 6'6" Voltaeus MF 2pc. that I use for drop shot and any other light line finesse stuff. Im looking for a 1pc in the same rating. Split grip would be preferred. Suggestions? ps. Im picky about how the rod looks too... I prefer a black blank. Quote

nUgZ Posted October 28, 2009 Posted October 28, 2009 You should also check out the St. Croix Triumph. http://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/templates/product/standard-item.jsp?id=0036484120776a&navCount=1&podId=0036484&parentId=cat20374&masterpathid=&navAction=jump&cmCat=MainCatcat20166-cat20374&catalogCode=IK&rid=&parentType=index&indexId=cat20374&hasJS=true Quote
MattinOK Posted October 28, 2009 Posted October 28, 2009 This seems to fit all your criteria! http://www.***.com/descpageDAMSPINROD-DAEX.html A new brand in the bass fishing world, Damiki has already evoked quite a response with their beautifully crafted fishing rods. The entire series of Angel EX Spinning Rods are 2-piece and feature quality components, including SIC Guides and IPS/ECS Reel Seats. Billed as the entry-level series from Damiki, they were designed to fill the void for a quality 2-piece bass fishing rod at a reasonable price. The spigot joint linking the two pieces together is made to fit precisely, transferring feeling from the tip to the handle, as well as, maintaining optimum curvature when tension is present. Quote

There is also the Abu Vengence, Daiwa Tierra, Okuma Guide Select and Reflexion, Shimano Clarus. A jump in price to say $100 or $120 opens the doors for many more Quote
chasiubao73 Posted October 28, 2009 Posted October 28, 2009 If you think you can get away with a ML 6'6. This is a sweet deal: http://cgi.ebay.com/Daiwa-Tierra-Spin-Rod-TDTR661MLFS-66-1-pc-Med-Light_W0QQitemZ250508218899QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item3a53741213 Their online store: http://www.fishfreakonline.com/tedatisprod.html The Tierra rods are pretty decent.

MuahMan Posted October 28, 2009 Posted October 28, 2009 I just bought a couple of rods in your price range. I got the Vendetta MH 7' and the Falcon Bucco 6'6"M. They are pretty sweet rods I gotta say. They both are sweet looking too. Quote
-nick- Posted October 28, 2009 Posted October 28, 2009 I have a daiwa tierra casting rod that i use for jigs and it's a very good rod for the price. Quote
Super User skunked_again Posted October 29, 2009 Super User Posted October 29, 2009 im not sure about the Vendetta. i mounted a 2500 series Sol on one tonight and played with it for about half an hour in the store and theyre a heavy rod. the Falcon Original wouldnt be the worst idea. id also look at the Shimano Clarus.

tennwalkinghorse Posted October 30, 2009 Posted October 30, 2009 St. Croix Mojo only nine bucks more you will not be sorry. Quote
dman Posted October 30, 2009 Posted October 30, 2009 St. Croix Mojo only nine bucks more you will not be sorry. I have 2 of these and i like them a lot.....Thinking about trying out the Lamiglass Excels (a few $$ more) but i havent heard much about them: http://www.***.com/descpageRDSLAMIGLAS-LEBSRS.html But if you can get an HMG for $70 that would be the rod to get ! try not to worry about the rod being black, you can come back!! :-X Quote

Dave T. Posted October 30, 2009 Posted October 30, 2009 If you are patient, and keep your eye on the BPS and Cabelas sites, you can often find a great deal on a rod... especially at the end of the season. I've seen $150 rods at half price. Although, I'm not sure the blank will be black. Quote
The Rooster Posted October 31, 2009 Posted October 31, 2009 Well I'd say the Clarus would be your rod for $70 but it's not black. It is a brownish color instead. Quote
