I have no idea if these rods are any good or not and the selection is limited, but if you need two inexpensive crank rods, here you go:

Awesome deal.. thanks for sharing.

Sam reply :

I like my two Wright-McGills. Perform beautifully.

Mine are the Skeet Reese models.

Got the first one to match my purple and gold LSU baitcaster reel.

Got the second one as I liked the first one so much.

So go for it and enjoy them next year.

Fishes in trees reply :

I don't have these rods. I have touched them at the store. I think that at 2 for $50, the 7 or 7 1/2 foot rods would make decent tight line/semi-slack line catfish rods. The tips are flexible enough that you could use circle hooks. The spine of the blanks are strong enough, but have some flex, you could throw an ounce and a half a long way, say to the far end of most long tapering points.

I think that for bass fishing they weigh too much and I'd get pretty tired pretty quick throwing half ounce square bills with these rods.

Loop_Dad U da Man, just ordered 2 I broke one this summer getting into my boat. I love these rods.

Loop_Dad reply :

I'm glad some of you enjoyed the deal. After the shipping, they are practically giving these away! I don't have need for them, but I was really tempted myself.

For me, I've just scored Fenwick Smallmouth rod and am happy myself.

TrapperJ reply :

You guys know these are fiberglass rods, right?

Boomer_bassin reply :

Yes, haven't tried a glass rod for cranking so this is a great time to give them a go!

The H rods feels similar to MH graphite rods.

MacP reply :

I got mine today. They are certainly big. Even bigger than some of the other glass rods I've been around. I got a 7' M and a 7' H. They are indeed heavy too! I don't think it's too horrible though. Especially the price. They look good. Really clean fit and finish.

I may get rid of the Medium.

Boomer_bassin reply :

Mine are at UPS waiting for a label... ready to get them!

Boomer_bassin reply :

Just got mine and I can say that I will never order any other fishing rod from Dicks Sporting Goods... 1 rod was shipped in a large triangular shaped piece of cardboard with nothing to cushion the rod, it appears to be ok luckily.... the other rod came in a rod tube as it was supposed to, but the tube was missing an end cap and was just covered with tape, attached to this tape was a two inch section of my rod, the tip was completely broke off. called them and they are crediting me for the broken rod but I let them know I will never order any other fishing rod from them because of their poor packaging.

MacP reply :

Mine was the same way. One huge triangular box, one cardboard tube. Luckily, mine shipped intact.

If you want my medium rod, I'll be down to Calhoun/Cleveland over Christmas at my wife's parents. I'll give it to you for what I got it for.

Boomer_bassin reply :

I may take you up on that, that was the rod that busted. My folks live in Calhoun when will you be in town?

Dave P reply :

Mine came in two seperate triangle tubes. One of which was a good eight and a half feet long. Both intact though.

Bass_Fanatic reply :

Yep...one of mine was in a tube and the other in the triangular box. The boxed rod was broken at the tip!!!

I'll be there the 23rd for the next 5 days, I think.

Todd2 reply :

Both of mine were also unsecured in the big triangular boxes. Luckily everything was ok. That's the worst packing job I've ever seen.

mjseverson24 reply :

I had four delivered to my house 2 for me and 2 for a friend, all came safely all in the triangle box's, but only 2 had packing material the other 2 did not...kinda weird...

bassh8er reply :

Haha, I was wondering if anybody else had the same shipping?

My wife was like, "I don't understand did you buy"?

fowlskies reply :

How would the 7' H work for A-rigs? Would it not be a good choice since they are fiberglass? Right now I use a 7'MH berkely lightning shock rod paired with a C3 4600 but my current rod seems a little too light when trying to heave an A-rig. I was thinking of pairing the 4600 with the Rick Clunn rod as my A-rig and for deep cranks but I have never used a fiberglass rod and it has kept me from pulling the trigger.

Dave P reply :

I plan on experimenting with these to find something they "like". They were out of M so I got two Heavies. Might not be bad for rigs since the bite isn't exactly subtle... come to think of it, the 7'6" pool cue might be decent for that.

kwhorne19 reply :

I got two of the 6'8 jerkbait rods and am going to use them for jerks/poppers/blade baits and spooks ... casted them yesterday for first time and compared to what I have been fishing with it is an amazing new world - can't wait to feel the heaviness on the other end of the line.. Merry Christmas! Kev

DO NOT USE THESE FOR A RIGS! It will snap on the first cast. I bought two earlier this year when they were on sale. They are mediocre rods and one has already snapped on me while casting. I had the 7ft H and it broke casting a 1/2oz spinnerbait. It was probably damaged in shipping or a blem but I can tell you it was WAY too flimsy for an Arig.

georgeyew reply :

I agree with Downtown, with the soft and flimsy tip, any significant weight will probably snap the tip. The tips are not solid, they have pretty thin walls.

pancityhanman reply :

i got 2 of these and they were packed seperately in those huge triangular boxes, unsecured so they had over a foot to slam back and forth. both of my tip tops. rods arent bad except for the God awful color. kinda weak in the tip, may end up selling or trading them before using them.
