AbuGarcia-4-Life Posted July 20, 2010 Posted July 20, 2010 Ok I can get some stuff wholesale like I can get Daiwa L&T for $85 and Carrot Stix for $90. So I am saving up for a Revo S and need a rod for it, I have heard great things abt the Bass Mojo, Carrot Stix, Vendetta, Bucoo, Skeet Reese, and Carbonlite. So I know im never gonna get a straight answer so what rod should I get FIRST???? EDIT: Add Quantum Superlite ^^^^^ Quote
Super User Grey Wolf Posted July 20, 2010 Super User Posted July 20, 2010 Buy the rod that is going to best fit the techniques that you will be using. Quote
Super User BASSclary Posted July 20, 2010 Super User Posted July 20, 2010 Bucoo. I own one and believe they are the better of the afore mentioned rods. Quote

zerofivenismo Posted July 20, 2010 Posted July 20, 2010 I'd get the Skeet rod based on the free W&M tourney shirt alone. Hands down winner. Quote

You SHOULD get the rod free for purchasing the shirt....not a fan From what you had listed I would say Vendetta or Superlite....the Carrot Stix and Bucoo are nice too. It all depends on what you are gonna use it for Quote
Super User skunked_again Posted July 20, 2010 Super User Posted July 20, 2010 Quote Ok are carrot stix, vendettas or Skeet Reeses and of those which is the best? buying a rod based on a popularity contest is never, ever a good idea. Quote

VENDETTA 2. CARROT STIX 3.SKEET REESE. 4.BUCOO. Since you won't tell us what techniques you will be using , here is a list of what order to buy for your fishing pleasure. Quote
AbuGarcia-4-Life Posted July 21, 2010 Author Posted July 21, 2010 Im stuck on the Vendetta cause i can get them for $40 what is lighter 7'3" MH Vendetta or Worm/Jig Skeet Reese? Quote

Super User SoFlaBassAddict Posted July 21, 2010 Super User Posted July 21, 2010 Really, you need to go to a store that stocks the models you are looking at. Pick them up and give each one a feel. Lots of places will let you stick a reel on it if you ask them. If not, bring your own. Asking people here for opinions is great, you can try to narrow down your choices. To get the best answer though, YOU need to handle them and make the decision based on which feels best for you. Not everybody likes an uber light rod, some like a little more heft to them. Quote
Avalonjohn44 Posted July 21, 2010 Posted July 21, 2010 I have the skeet reese worm/jig rod, and love it. It is excellent, I use it mostly as a spinnerbait/crankbait rod though. I would also mention to take a look at some St Croix rods... Quote

I literally laughed at this Quote
AbuGarcia-4-Life Posted July 21, 2010 Author Posted July 21, 2010 Thx for everyones input an im gonna check theese rods in my local store and unless the skeet reese is amazingly better feeling im gonna get the Vendetta Quote
repper Posted July 21, 2010 Posted July 21, 2010 If you can get the Daiwa L&T for $85 you should get it. give them a test at the tackle shop. these rods have been around for a long time, and at $85 are a really good deal. i think they are much nicer than the other rods on the list. check them out. they are reasonably light, and i've used the frog rod for years, caught many fish with it, and it's as good as ever. i've also had the jig and worm rod for years now, and while i've 'moved up' with my rods, these rods are a really good deal at 85 bucks. at least check them out, and you'll feel what i'm talking about compared to the other rods on the list Quote
