dmac14 Posted March 10, 2010 Posted March 10, 2010 Avid was nice, but I wasn't fond of the handle (power hump). I do like the shimano crucials though, you can find them around $150 Quote
AUfisher Posted March 10, 2010 Author Posted March 10, 2010 thanks guys! thats great to hear about the st croix! i was dissapointed when i thaught i read that all are made in mexico now. so far i really like the castaway st croix and a couple others for the castaway, what is the difference in the hg40 series, skeleton series, standard series and the xp3 series? for just fishing pods where i will use every type of bait from frogs, crankbaits or worms, what would be the best? thanks! GOD BLESS Luke Quote
mctech Posted March 11, 2010 Posted March 11, 2010 check out denali custom rods at denali.com they have two lines. jadewood and rosewood these are very nice rods at a very good price i got to fish one a couple weeks ago and was so impressed i have two on order and will be buying more as money allows Quote
BassThumb Posted March 11, 2010 Posted March 11, 2010 St. Croix Avid would be my pick. They are a terrific rod and the best value of any rod I've owned in that price range. Quote
Beastie Bass Posted March 14, 2010 Posted March 14, 2010 St. Croix Avid would be my pick. They are a terrific rod and the best value of any rod I've owned in that price range. X2 I also have the mojo, and they are both great just 5yr warranty compare to lifetime. The mojo is a lil heavier but still has st. croix service! 8-) Quote
backpain... Posted March 14, 2010 Posted March 14, 2010 i LOVE my kistlers! X2 I have fished with everything from the Carbon Steel series to the LTX2 with the and have not been dissapointed with any of their rods. Quote
Super User David P Posted March 14, 2010 Super User Posted March 14, 2010 The new Dobyns Savvy series, best under $200 rods I have used, they're SICK. Quote
WdyCrankbait Posted March 14, 2010 Posted March 14, 2010 castaway american rodsmith all star st. croix kistler g. loomis fenwick falcon thanks! GOD BLESS Luke No Shimano Crucial rod? All of them are good rods, but Crucials are phenomenal rods, not be over looked since they are not that popular. Quote
