BucketBuster Posted April 1, 2010 Posted April 1, 2010 I'm looking for a good spinning rod that will cost no more than $100. It will be used for t-rigs, shaky heads, senkos, etc. with an occasional jerkbait. I need to buy new because it will be a gift, otherwise I'd be in the flea market. I've been looking at the CarbonLites and Vendettas. Has anyone had any experience with these or do you have any other suggestions? Thanks. Quote
Super User KYntucky Warmouth Posted April 1, 2010 Super User Posted April 1, 2010 I suggest staying away from the Vendetta spinning rods, they may have put alot of time into balancing the casting rods, but they skimped on the spinning, terribly unbalanced and heavy. Quote
Super User Shane J Posted April 1, 2010 Super User Posted April 1, 2010 I have both the spinning and casting versions of the Vendetta, and like Rick said, the spinning version is a bit heavy. Quote
Delaware Valley Tackle Posted April 1, 2010 Posted April 1, 2010 I can do something custom within your budget. IM6 graphite 7' 1/4-3/4 oz lure 8-12lb line fast, Fuji seat & guides. PM sent. Quote
TxBuddha Posted April 1, 2010 Posted April 1, 2010 The Shimano Compre and St Croix Premier are both in your price range. Quote
KSRonH Posted April 1, 2010 Posted April 1, 2010 I would suggest the St. Croix Premier also. Great rod within your budget and St. Croix has a great upgrade program should you decide to purchase an Avid or better down the road. Quote
