The one that got away Posted March 2, 2012 Posted March 2, 2012 Knowing your budget limit would help, but if you're looking to stay around the $100 mark, maybe look for a used Avid MHF. I doubt you'll find any St. Croix users with buyers remorse on this site or anywhere else. I got a excellent condition Avid MF shipped to my door last week for $100 off Ebay. I'm sure others will chime in with suggestions if you give a firm price range. Nice reel by the way, I recently sold my used Revo SX and experienced immediate regret when I walked out of the post office after shipping it. Good luck. Quote
amishnightmare88 Posted March 2, 2012 Author Posted March 2, 2012 Has anyone looked at or heard anything about the Denny Brauer with American Rodsmith rods? like to stay under $200. the denny brauer flippin and pitchin rod is $179 but have not found any reviews on them. Quote
amishnightmare88 Posted March 2, 2012 Author Posted March 2, 2012 probley more around the $150 price range actually. Quote
The one that got away Posted March 2, 2012 Posted March 2, 2012 I was just about to post that the Caras are in your price range, but $150 is a little different than $200. I haven't used the rod you're asking about, but someone else might. If you don't mind a good used rod, look around the flea market on this site, there's always deals to be made. I'd bet you could find a used Cara in your price range. Somebody here had a few Caras for sale not too long ago. Quote

Might as well stay in the Abu family and grab a Veritas. For $100 you cant beat it, I got one last year Quote
SausageFingers Posted March 2, 2012 Posted March 2, 2012 I would take a look at the Veritas. The Abu rods are designed to balance with the Revo line. I have a new SX matched up with a Veritas and it is very well balanced. Quote
38 Super Fan Posted March 2, 2012 Posted March 2, 2012 Congrats on the SX. A Phenix Bass Recon would be fairly close to your price range, and it would look awesome with the SX. Quote
Super User new2BC4bass Posted March 2, 2012 Super User Posted March 2, 2012 The 7'2" MH-XFast Cumara...used... would be less than your $200 mark and make an excellent jig rod. If you want to keep it in the Abu family, you could check out the Villain rods. I couldn't tell you which is for jigs, tho. I did pick up a ML spinning for my light lures. Nice looking rod. Roadwarrior likes his Perfecta, but I can't recall if the model he was talking about was for jigs. Quote
