Pitching/worm/jig rod under 60 2024

trick worms reply :

What's a good rod under 60 for the techniques listed above?

Todd2 reply :

I'm an All-Star fan..haven't bought one in a while but Academy should have them close to that.

GORDO reply :

I think you can find a veritas(not the 2.0) or a vendetta for $70 bucks and its worth the extra $10.

also, I would go MH 7'

Thanks. Have you used the 40 dollar ones or the AST ones?

Todd2 reply :

I'm guessing the AST, I own about 5 of them and they seem to last longer than anything else I've bought. I've owned one for over 10 years. I've paid anywhere from $50 to $70 over the years ... depending on the sale

S. Sass reply :

I hear the H2O Ethos rods are well worth the $60. I haven't used them but the reviews I've seen are good.

Bruce424 reply :

Check out cabelas or bass pro shops house rods. The rods with their name on it.

1201vilbig reply :

+1 on the H2O Ethos. Great rods for the $. The composite crankin' rod is a steal.

RFSims reply :

H2O Ethos 7' Heavy fast. Not as good as my Phenix, but not far behind. IMO best rod for the money on the planet.

Fish4bigfish reply :

I fish worms and jigs about 50 percent of my time on the water. Your bottom contact rod should not be a cheap rod. The sensitivity will not be there at this price point. Reaction techniques are great for cheaper rods. Of course we get what we can afford. I saved for several pay checks to get my jig rod and I am glad I waited.

fishnkamp reply :

I agree with Fish4bigfish. If you save a little more a Dobyns Fury 735C is worth every penny of its $110. For roughly $75 you can find a Veritas 2 7ft3 MH fast action rod on Amazon. Most veritas rods are a little on the heavy side so I would think this rod would work fine. I have a lot of higher priced rods but I do fish two of the Veritas originals and one of them I use for deep jigs.

If $60 is your true budget look at a Diawa AridX 7'3" MH fast it lists 1/4 to 1 ounce it may work. Also look at *** Hellbent rod. There is a 7'3 and a 7'6" and even a 7'11" all say mh or hvy fast and range from 3/8 to 1 or 1 1/2. They might be your best choices at $59.00 from TW

So I guess all the bass caught on rods at this price point don't count.

Academy H2O, All Star, Berkley, BPS house rods are all good quality rods.

trick worms reply :

I was looking at the AST rod by all star. 7 foot medium heavy Carolina rig rod. Are they good rods? I would get an h20 ethos but bluebasser 88 told me the 7 foot medium heavy fishes more like a medium.

Mine are the 6'6 Worm rods. I've looked at the Carolina Rig rod, it'll probably be my next rod. I like 6'6 for Texas rigs, drop shot, jigs, etc.

Ouch didn't say that. I'm sure you could fish a jig with an ugly stick and have some success.

I've won large tournaments with Lighting Rods while fishing out of a modified Jon boat.

There are few of us on this site who have done it!

@trick worms I bought an All Star recently from Academy for $35 tax included!

Looking at either the 40 dollar one or the AST. Is the AST worth the extra money? (70 vs 40)

^^^^This. I have a few Cabela's Pro Guides and they are good rods. I don't have any flipping rods from Cabela's but the quality of their other rods is pretty good for the price.

With your limited budget I would buy 2 Classic rods!

fishnkamp reply :

Here is something to consider. I own one of the 7 foot MH rods. This rod is a IM8 blank and only weighs 4 oz. I matched mine with a Shimano Chronarch 7.3-1 reel. They match up nice. It rates for 1/4 to 11/2 ounce lures. I use mine for jigs,texas rigs and carolina rigging. It has surprisingly good sensitivity. Dicks regularly sold them for $99. They often put them on sale for $49,99. That is what I paid for it. Now they show up in Dicks system as "not in stock". They are available directly from Field and Stream at this address: http://www.fieldandstreamshop.com/p/quantum-escalade-casting-rod/16qutuscld66mhcstrod?camp=CSE:GooglePLA:16QUTUSCLD66MHCSTROD:14436791-FNS:Casting

They are selling them for $49.99 with free shipping so that is a no brainer to me.

But, like you said Catt, "those fish don't count"...lol. Even though I have a bunch of G Loomis rods, I started this season fishing "bottom contact baits" with Lightning rods. Caught a bunch of bass. Posted pictures of some of them. But, not to worry, I didn't count them.

I think I've decided on the 40 dollar all star rods since I have a gift card to academy. Thanks for all the help everyone!

And why do you fish g loomis? It doesn't make a difference right?

Bluebasser86 reply :

The Ethos from Academy are the way to go in that price range. You can get them on sale pretty regularly for around $40. Their MH is a little light, I use it for rattle traps actually. Their 7' H/F makes a pretty decent jig/t rig rod though.

I fish what I want. Never had to ask permission before. Not gonna start now. I've said it before, I believe sensitivity has more to do with the hands than the rod. Any more questions?.....lol.

Thanks. If the medium heavy fishes like a medium, does the heavy fish like a medium heavy?

Agreed. The mh ethos fishes similarly to an 843 loomis in regards to how the blank behaves. More ideal for spinnerbaits/chatterbaits imho, but I've 'gotten'r done' using just about anything with this rod at local ponds.

Catt reply :

All Star Pro Series PH826C 6' 10" Medium Heavy Fast

I use this one to throw spinnerbaits & lipless cranks, it has longer handle which let's you get longer cast.

All Star ASCC846CR 7' 0" Medium Heavy Fast

It's factory designated a Carolina Rig, weights 3/8-1 oz, my son uses it for 1/2 to 3/4 with an occasional 1 oz flipping/pitching

All Star ASTC786WRM 6' 6" Medium Heavy Fast

My grandson uses it for Texas Rigs

Todd2 reply :

I don't think you can go wrong with any of the ones mentioned, I'm sticking with All Star....final answer.

trick worms reply :

Thanks to all

How do you think the classic 7 foot medium heavy would do for 3/16 oz Texas rigs?

Can't beat a lightning rod, Either dobyns champion or champion extreme. If I'm looking for anything else it's a lighting rod. No middle of the road in my eyes. 53 bucks I just paid for one and they are sweet and sensitive
