Which rod?? 2024

packman reply :

Hey,

I am looking for a reliable brand to buy a couple of types of rods from including these,

Flipping and pitching

Spinnerbait

crankbait

more to come in the future. I just would like to buy all the same brand rods.

Thanks in advance!

G.Loomis MBR842 GLX MF

Daiwa Steez - SVF MHF,FleXlite MR,CompileX HF

packman reply :

Forgot to say I am trying to keep it in the $100-150 range.

guitarkid reply :

Falcon Originals.

I have 2 originals, I really like the way they feel and handle, I don't know about using it for crankbaits though

That says a lot what actions are you getting?

Kistler Magnesiums.

Dan-K reply :

Powell Max.... For the uses you described I would go with either a 704c or 734c for your flipping pitching, C-rigs, heavy cover T-rigs; 683c for spinner baits, worms, lighter jigs, senkos, jerkbaits; for the cranks I would recommend the Okuma EVX crank bait rods, they are not a bad rod at all....... But, if you are set on staying with the same brands, Powell does make a cranking rod, I just don't have any experience with it so I won't recommend it. If I were you I would read some reviews on it and make a decision from that. Check out Tackle warehouse they carry Powells.

why? You should buy the Falcon Bucoo's and Lowriders. Nothing else in the 100-150 rang can touch them. Go to TW and look at all the + feedback on the Bucoo rods and then see if you can find a rod with more + feed back on the whole site. You won't.

Falcon Bucoo is the best Rod under 150 bar none.

Hear is what you buy

BuCoo Spin Rod 7' Medium Light $109

BuCoo Cast Rod 7' Medium $109

BuCoo Cast Rod 7' Medium Heavy $109

BuCoo Cast Rod 6'10" Med Hvy $109

BuCoo Cast Rod 7' Heavy $109

Falcon LowRider XG Cast 7'6" Hvy Md Actio $149

Every thing but swim baits covered here... 6 rods for 7 bills and you will love them all

The only Falcon rod I would not buy is the Cara. why you ask? if i'm dropin more than 150$ on a rod it's going to be a Dobyns

Vinny Chase reply :

Fenwick HMG or G Loomis Mossyback

KYntucky Warmouth reply :

I would hit high end of your range if possible. I say either Powell Max or Dobyns Savvy. The kistler Mags are good to but I prefer the other two series of rods. I actually have two of each series and would reccomend the Dobyns first, then Powell, and kistler.

you can't beat these at this price.best reel seat and guides available any place.the blanks are fantastic also.

flippin and pitchin reply :

Lamiglas Excel series. This has got to be one of the best values in bass rods.

CRANKSTER reply :

Dobyn's Savvy Series.

packman reply :

Thanks everyone i am thinking the bocoo or the mojo bass. Keep the comments comming is still have not made up my mind.

crappiekid24 reply :

I would recommend a Shimano Crucials. I own 2 and love them.

this tells me you like tip heavy rods with decreased sensitivity. but, if you like it go with it.

ive tried my Mojos again and again and every time they are too tip heavy for my liking.

for the OP's price range id be looking at Falcon Lowrider or Shimano Compre.

TBendBassin reply :

100-150 falcon lowriders

s13john reply :

VENDETTA.... good stuff 8-)

I'd say of the rods listed this would be my budget option rod. The mojo cranking rod is nice but the flipping models weigh a ton. I had a chance to play with a Vendetta and was very impressed with it for the price.

LAO162 reply :

Although it may be hard to continue a series of rods, there are some great values among the 2010 closeouts:

All Star Platinum

Fenwick Techna AV

Kistler Argon

Plus the (usually) semi-annual closeout of Cabela' XML and XMLTi rods.

I recently picked up a Powell 764 on sale. While not as sensitive as the rods listed above, it is very light and feels awesome in my hands. Also, it is beautifully constructed.

Also, if you are patient and check the Flea market you may find a used IMX in your price range.

falcon bucoo

Texas10Man reply :

It is just fine if you get value priced rods. I did this and was happy for two years. I had some extra cash so I decided to try an expensive set-up. Worst idea I ever had. Now I'm in the middle of upgrading all my rods and reels. Don't touch the higher priced gear!

I have only heard good things about the bucoo rods.

TBendBassin reply :

if thats the two you are deciding on the i would absolutely go with the falcon trust me!!!! you will be way more satisfied

heavy M reply :

I'll cast my vote for falcon rods. As others have said if you go with Bucoos or Lowriders I think you will be very pleased. Also shimano compre rods are a pretty good deal.

packman reply :

What's your opinions on Temple Fork Gary Loomis Signature Casting Rods?

burleytog reply :

Of those listed, the W&M Skeet Reese rods. The 7' Spinnerbait/Worm is an excellent spinnerbait/small crankbait rod.

repper reply :

bought a mojo rod...hated it. upgraded to a legend tournament rod...love it. in the 150 or less range i own Kistler, Powell, and Shimano Compre, and they are all good rods for the money, but of the three i like the Powell the best. i've got a buddy who has a couple of falcon lowriders that he likes alot too.

Haha the rods in his survey weren't even close to the price range of what you posted. :

I'd say Dobyns Savvy series. Basstackledepot.com is having 20% off so they're only about 120-130. Awesome rod.

torsten329 reply :

I have the mojo bass froggin rod and I don't likke it much. It's ridiculously heavy and strenuous to use. My buddy has the spinnerbait rod and he likes it alright. I also have the teressa spinnerbait/worm rod and am not a fan of it either. I would definitely second going with a higher end rod in your price range. I have used powells and you can't go wrong there. Also heard great things about Dobyn's and may be purchasing one soon. But I would definitely go with a higher end rod. Quality is better than quantity in my opinion.

South FLA reply :

Abu's Vendetta is a great rod and I like it better than the Mojo or Skeet's rod for the money. I even like the ASR better than the Mojo or Skeet.

Yup this is what I was thingking. They are a little more than the mojo but are in my opinion way better (closer to the avid) you can't beat the warranty either. The other shimanos are great too...Clarus, Compre and cumara, alll great rods at their particular price point and all with the same great warranty.

dude loves to fish reply :

Kistler Magnesiums - a great rod for the price. There is a magnesium for all applications.

8assh0le reply :

I would go for the kistler magnesium also the abu Garcia vendetta series are good and very affordable. But I haven't tried the bucoos yet so I can't comment.

adclem reply :

Falcon Cara T7s or St Croix Avids would be much better choices.

Later,

Dockhead reply :

I started buying Mojo's thinking the same thing as you - I wanted to try and get a whole series of rods, and the price on the Mojo's is right for that.

However, after I bought 3 I realized that I am too particular about certain techniques to really be happy with one set of rods.

In other words, I would rather have the exact rod I want for a particular technique instead of having rods that all have the same name.

So I still have the Mojo's, but I also got several Kistler's, a Powell and an Okuma C3.

And I am happy with them all...so far.

wbassrogue reply :

op on Mojo Bass(owned for 5 hrs)..D not like the reel seat at all,didnt seem to want to stay tight.

Love the action/sensitivity of the blank...jury is out on that reel seat.

TBendBassin reply :

falcon cara T7 or falcon lowriders

bigfruits reply :

id go with st. croix avids. check out the warranty and reviews on these rods.
