I need a rod under $150

[AbuGarcia-4-Life]

I just baught a Quantum Response ($50) and a Vendetta ($80) combo for $35, fished is yesterday cheap reel but throws great and the Vendetta is great, im gonna get a Veritas now

[Grey Wolf]

Good for you.

Ok on the vendetta there is a molded grip which i do not like at all, is there anyway to take it off and just have an open blank grip? Ik this sounds stupid but i jus hate this grip

[SoFlaBassAddict]

Molded grip? Are you talking about the reel seat? Or the foam portion of the handle?

[AbuGarcia-4-Life]

Where I put my fingers on the reel seat under the reel. It looks seperate like i could get it off somehow

[flippin and pitchin]

Rods are like shoes.  You can probably come close just applying your shoe size but trying the shoe on and walking in it for a few minutes will help you know if it realy fits.  The rods you mentioned as options are really very different in feel, actions, flex charateristics, reel seats, and so on.  Try to put them in your hand if you can.  There's quite a selection of rods under $150.00 that are tremendous values.  Good luck.

No, you'll ruin your rod.  Since the Cumara is outside your wheelhouse, get a Carrot Stix if want a split reel seat.

Seriously rethinking this "Take a kid fishing" concept.  ;D

Ok ppl plz stick to the rods i have up there, cause those r the rods i cn get wholesale or have used and like, but i think for my first rod im gonna get either the Skeet Reese or Vendetta then get a Carrot Stix or Bucoo

The current Carrot Stix rods are apparently being discontnued and replaced by other models.   The current rods are being discounted to $79-89 at Tackle Warehouse and Cabela's.

The Vendetta has a good reputation in my bass club.

You shut up and just go fishing with whatever you get a discount on and enjoy the rest of the summer before you have to go back to school.

It's called a b***h slap !!!!!!!!!!!! Even you should know that.

Why a grown adult would engage in an online argument with a 12 year old is beyond me.  Though it has been entertaining.

Entertaining is right , it kept you coming back.

[AbuGarcia-4-Life]

Look this is stupid, we are fighting abt the fact if I go fishing or not. I mean seriously this is so stupid!

Apparently your home school curriculum doesn't include a English course. 

[trevor]

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.
