packman Posted May 25, 2010 Posted May 25, 2010 Hey, I am looking for a reliable brand to buy a couple of types of rods from including these, Flipping and pitching Spinnerbait crankbait more to come in the future. I just would like to buy all the same brand rods. Thanks in advance! Quote
steezy Posted May 25, 2010 Posted May 25, 2010 G.Loomis MBR842 GLX MF Daiwa Steez - SVF MHF,FleXlite MR,CompileX HF Quote
packman Posted May 25, 2010 Author Posted May 25, 2010 Forgot to say I am trying to keep it in the $100-150 range. Quote
guitarkid Posted May 25, 2010 Posted May 25, 2010 Falcon Originals. I have 2 originals, I really like the way they feel and handle, I don't know about using it for crankbaits though -gk Quote
basspro96 Posted May 25, 2010 Posted May 25, 2010 I am about to switch to all St croix mojo's if that tells you anything Quote

Dan-K Posted May 25, 2010 Posted May 25, 2010 Powell Max.... For the uses you described I would go with either a 704c or 734c for your flipping pitching, C-rigs, heavy cover T-rigs; 683c for spinner baits, worms, lighter jigs, senkos, jerkbaits; for the cranks I would recommend the Okuma EVX crank bait rods, they are not a bad rod at all....... But, if you are set on staying with the same brands, Powell does make a cranking rod, I just don't have any experience with it so I won't recommend it. If I were you I would read some reviews on it and make a decision from that. Check out Tackle warehouse they carry Powells. Quote
Incheon Basser Posted May 25, 2010 Posted May 25, 2010 I am about to switch to all St croix mojo's if that tells you anything why? You should buy the Falcon Bucoo's and Lowriders. Nothing else in the 100-150 rang can touch them. Go to TW and look at all the + feedback on the Bucoo rods and then see if you can find a rod with more + feed back on the whole site. You won't. Falcon Bucoo is the best Rod under 150 bar none. Hear is what you buy BuCoo Spin Rod 7' Medium Light $109 BuCoo Cast Rod 7' Medium $109 BuCoo Cast Rod 7' Medium Heavy $109 BuCoo Cast Rod 6'10" Med Hvy $109 BuCoo Cast Rod 7' Heavy $109 Falcon LowRider XG Cast 7'6" Hvy Md Actio $149 Every thing but swim baits covered here... 6 rods for 7 bills and you will love them all The only Falcon rod I would not buy is the Cara. why you ask? if i'm dropin more than 150$ on a rod it's going to be a Dobyns Quote
Super User KYntucky Warmouth Posted May 25, 2010 Super User Posted May 25, 2010 I would hit high end of your range if possible. I say either Powell Max or Dobyns Savvy. The kistler Mags are good to but I prefer the other two series of rods. I actually have two of each series and would reccomend the Dobyns first, then Powell, and kistler. Quote
Super User dodgeguy Posted May 25, 2010 Super User Posted May 25, 2010 http://www.basspro.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Product_10151_-1_10001_98025_100002006_100000000_100002000_100-2-6 you can't beat these at this price.best reel seat and guides available any place.the blanks are fantastic also.

flippin and pitchin Posted May 25, 2010 Posted May 25, 2010 Lamiglas Excel series. This has got to be one of the best values in bass rods. Quote
packman Posted May 25, 2010 Author Posted May 25, 2010 Thanks everyone i am thinking the bocoo or the mojo bass. Keep the comments comming is still have not made up my mind. Quote
crappiekid24 Posted May 25, 2010 Posted May 25, 2010 I would recommend a Shimano Crucials. I own 2 and love them. Quote
Super User skunked_again Posted May 25, 2010 Super User Posted May 25, 2010 I am about to switch to all St croix mojo's if that tells you anything this tells me you like tip heavy rods with decreased sensitivity. but, if you like it go with it. ive tried my Mojos again and again and every time they are too tip heavy for my liking. for the OP's price range id be looking at Falcon Lowrider or Shimano Compre. Quote
Simp Posted May 26, 2010 Posted May 26, 2010 VENDETTA.... good stuff 8-) I'd say of the rods listed this would be my budget option rod. The mojo cranking rod is nice but the flipping models weigh a ton. I had a chance to play with a Vendetta and was very impressed with it for the price. Quote

LAO162 Posted May 26, 2010 Posted May 26, 2010 Although it may be hard to continue a series of rods, there are some great values among the 2010 closeouts: All Star Platinum Fenwick Techna AV Kistler Argon Plus the (usually) semi-annual closeout of Cabela' XML and XMLTi rods. I recently picked up a Powell 764 on sale. While not as sensitive as the rods listed above, it is very light and feels awesome in my hands. Also, it is beautifully constructed. Also, if you are patient and check the Flea market you may find a used IMX in your price range. Quote
Texas10Man Posted May 26, 2010 Posted May 26, 2010 It is just fine if you get value priced rods. I did this and was happy for two years. I had some extra cash so I decided to try an expensive set-up. Worst idea I ever had. Now I'm in the middle of upgrading all my rods and reels. Don't touch the higher priced gear! I have only heard good things about the bucoo rods. Quote
TBendBassin Posted May 26, 2010 Posted May 26, 2010 if thats the two you are deciding on the i would absolutely go with the falcon trust me!!!! you will be way more satisfied Quote
