Thomas Klem Posted November 24, 2011 Posted November 24, 2011 Hey everyone, thanks for reading. Long story short I stepped on my BPS Extreme6'6" MHF and damaged the first guide and had to send it to get repaired. In the interim I put the reel on my back up, a Field And Stream Tech Spec 6'6" which I promptly snapped swingin a bass up on a bridge I was fishin off of. So now I'm down two rods and I want to replace/ upgrade the broken one while I wait for my repair. I need some suggestions on what to pair the reel with. Its a 6.3:1 ratio . I've been using it as kind of an all purpose most of the year, lately for jigs. I think I want to go with a 7' of some sort. I'm trying to stay under $100.00 and I've read good things about the St. Croix Triumph and Mojo rods. Any thoughts or suggestions are greatly appreciated. Also, any thoughts an inexspensive backup would be great. I have an old Silvermax reel (my first baitcaster) to go on it. Thanks everyone in advance for your help. Quote
pitchinthejig Posted November 25, 2011 Posted November 25, 2011 Grab you a Daiwa S rod, they are on close out at many stores and a great rod for the money.. you can get them for around 70 bucks if you look a little.. they are a decent stick all around and pretty sensitive and very strong so you wont be breaking them if you use a little care. that stick can not be beat at that price range.. I havent used one in years but back in the day I had 10 or so and made a many of dollars tourney fishing with them in fact back then they used to be called "The pros rod"... Still to this day they are a good value and will make anyone a VERY GOOD starter stick. I would get the 7'MH F worm/jig stick. They arent the lightest weight rods but other then that they are decent stick at there retail and a great deal at 70-80 bucks. Quote
