Jeff P. Posted June 4, 2010 Posted June 4, 2010 I now have two BPS Carbonlite rods. One is the 6'8" MXF spinning rod and the other is the 7' MF casting rod. I really like both of these rods, and I'm thinking about picking up a couple more on sale for Father's Day. But before I get too far invested in these rods, I just wanted to get some other opinions from those who have used these rods how they compare to other similar rods (Vendetta, Bucoo, Mojo). Quote
Super User SoFlaBassAddict Posted June 4, 2010 Super User Posted June 4, 2010 Love the couple I have. I'll probably pick some more of them up at some point. Lighter than the Vendetta, feels more comfortable in my hand. I didn't like the Mojo at all. Other people love them, some don't. You've got to use what you feel comfortable with. Quote
Boogey Man Posted June 4, 2010 Posted June 4, 2010 I have one I bought as a combo with the Carbonlite reel. It's the 6'9" MH extra fast model. I use it for jigs and T-rigs. I just got it this spring but so far I really like it. Quote
chromedog Posted June 4, 2010 Posted June 4, 2010 I have a couple I have been using for a bit now. I have a 7' H X-Fast tip with a carbonlite reel casting setup and I have a 6'6" MH Fast tip with a sahara 2500 spinning setup. I love them. Definitely my favorite setups to grab. They have held up well for me. I personally don't like the Mojo at all, way to stiff and heavy. The vendetta's are decent, but the tip weight turns me off. Quote
lightsout Posted June 4, 2010 Posted June 4, 2010 Cant speak for the carbonlite, but I have used the other 3 and the bucoo is head shoulders above the rest. The 7 H' I own is very close in weight to a loomis IMX in similar spec's. Quote
mark nowak Posted June 4, 2010 Posted June 4, 2010 If I were you I would pick up more Carbonlite rods, I know that I am going to. I think the are one of the best rods out there for the money. Quote
Jeff P. Posted June 4, 2010 Author Posted June 4, 2010 Good info, thanks. I used to have a Mojo also, but I sold it because I just couldn't get comfortable with it. The Vendettas seem ok, but one part of the reviews that I was concerned about was the lower rating they got for sensitivity. I'm looking to add a couple more setups to replace one of my other older jig rods, so sensitivity is a key factor. I agree that of the 3 I listed, the Bucoo seems to be the best, but I just really like the Carbonlites. I will be picking up a couple more of them I think. Quote
Super User eyedabassman Posted June 6, 2010 Super User Posted June 6, 2010 I like the Carbonlite rods ALOT! I have two and will buy more at a later date! But I will have to sneak them into the house, if you know what I mean! Quote
endless Posted June 6, 2010 Posted June 6, 2010 I really enjoy my setup. I have the 7' MH-f. It took me a second to get use to the poly foam handle since I'm use to the cork foam handles. Quote
