Your next rod 2024
Glenn reply :
I'm not talking about brands here, but rather technique-specific rods (crankbait, flipping, etc). What will be the next rod you get?
Darren. reply :
A MH spinning rod to replace a broken one I used
for single-hook swimbaits.
roadwarrior reply :
New custom jerkbait rod built by ghoti using a Rainshadow Eternity2 blank from Batson.

Loomis13 reply :
A crankbait rod with a moderate fast action. Really can't stand the true moderate action I have. And also an all purpose MHF rod at the same time
bigfruits reply :
thinking about a dedicated frog rod and a dropshot rod. might hold off until later in the year after ive read reviews on some new rods that are hitting the market in the next few months.
Mike L reply :
Punch rod with a more moderate action than the ex fast one I'm useing now.

GreenGhostMan reply :
Just placed an order for a new swim jig/chatterbait/spinnerbait rod less than 15 minutes ago. 7'2" MH-Reg Daiwa Tatula. Probably won't be buying another rod for a while, but I'm thinking the next one could be a short (6'6" to 6'10") medium moderate for jerkbaits. Or another 6'10" MH Daiwa Tatula... such a versatile, work horse rod.
Jar11591 reply :
My next rod is going to be a medium heavy, fast 7' rod to throw lipless cranks.
Probably going to go with a Fenwick HMG70MH-FC.
buzzed bait reply :
damiki rig rod.... 
Hawkeye21 reply :
Looks like I just found a connection for getting a deal on an Abu Garcia Revo SX baitcast so it looks like I'll also be getting myself a new casting rod. Most likely a 7' MHF rod.
WPCfishing reply :
IKE 70-5 power rod. I broke mine....... Great rod by the way. 3/8-5/8 Spinner baits, lipliss cranks, square bills, swim jigs...

Should start seeing damiki rig instructional videos flooding youtube... I'm sure z-man and other soft plastic companies are drawing up molds for damiki specific flukes as we speak.
jimf reply :
Spinnerbait rod. The one I use is fine for most occasions, but it's a little wimpy in the butt for cover. Which is what I tell myself to justify buying a new rod that I really don't need. Probably a St. Croix Avid, maybe a 7' MH/F. Or maybe I should treat myself to a Legend because I think I deserve it, they have a 6'8" MH/F and I like shorter rods. So, there is my reason for the Legend.
Fishes in trees reply :
I thought I might need a float & fly rig, but upon further inspection I have a couple of float & fly rods . . . new reel might be nice . . . .I could stand to upgrade my half ounce & up football jig rod . .. . I get in that situation maybe once or twice a year so how much of a priority is that? I got a half dozen of the big honker Strike King square bills last month at Academy close outs - so I've got to decide on a rod to throw those on. There are several candidates already in the arsenal, but a new rod isn't out of the question.
I'd like a lighter & stouter Bubba Drop Shot rod, but I like the telescopic factor of the 7'5" Kistler rod that I currently use for that situation. So the real answer is I don't know.
If I go to Rogers for their spring sale and they have Fenwick AETOS rods on sale for $100 a hit like they did last year, I'd like to get a couple more jig rods just like the 2 I already have. I'm pretty certain that once or twice this spring some rod will scream out to me "BUY ME!!" and I will be unable to resist.
Smelter96 reply :
St.Croix Bass X 6'8" m/ef for the smaller stuff
PatrickKnight reply :
A medium power spinning rod with more flex than a traditional fast but not to the level of a moderate.
DubyaDee reply :
Next up is a custom tube jig rod. I'm thinking 7'6" medium or med/light fast.
Bryant Blackmon reply :
Megabass destroyer criffhanger for the lighter stuff

I built that thing to be as light as possible. Spiral wrapped Recoils, a rear grip and butt grip just large enough to be useful. I'm delivering it Monday.
The rod is schweeeet. If Kent hadn't already paid for it, I'd keep it. LOL
This may very well be the next rod I build for myself.
scaleface reply :
12 foot crappie jigging rod . I have Bass fishing covered .
hunterPRO1 reply :
Well I just ordered a 7ft MH/f to replace my broken 6'6" MH/f
Next stick will be a 7'6" h for frogs jigs and flipping, probably have a reel with 25lb mono

I'd love to see some more info on this. I'm always in pursuit of the perfect jerkbait rod. Currently using a dobyns 704cb and a poison adrena 7'2" Med Fast
MIbassyaker reply :
I believe my next rod will be a two-piece casting rod of some sort that I can stow away easily for travel as an all-purpose casting setup to complement a couple of 2-piece spinning setups I currently have. The M or MH St. Croix Premier looks about right, but I haven't shopped around much.

Yeah, and in honor of the builder I am matching this rod with a Diawa Alpha.
.ghoti. reply :
Built on the new Rainshadow Eternity2 blank, the unpainted version. Medium power, fast action, 6'8", 1.7 ounce weight blank. Batson calls this a medium. It has a 10-17lb line rating, and 1/4-3/4oz lure rating; the classic Loomis medium-heavy power ratings. In hand, I'd call it a medium. As built weight is 3.5oz, and about 90% of the added weight is on the back end.
Ill put put up some pics after it's delivered to Kent. It ain't right if he doesn't get to see it first.
Oklahoma Mike reply :
Been thinking about a new rod for throwing senkos and some other soft plastics and maybe lighter jigs. Will probably get the 853C JWR - trying to decide between the GLX and NRX.
lmbfisherman reply :
Looking for two rods, a rod for light jigs (NRX 852C) and a new DS rod.
rippin-lips reply :
Next rod for jigs.
CTBassin860 reply :
Replacing my frog/Flipping/pitching rod for sure.7'3"-7'6" HXF
Probably the 7'4" HXF Tatula XT
Also a reason to buy another Tatula CT!
Robert Riley reply :
Either actually buying my own Dobyns 805/6, so my buddy can have his back, or trading in my DX745 for something smaller.
mwh33 reply :
Megabass super destroyer for a dedicated senko rod
1201vilbig reply :
New swimbait rod.
joe chum reply :
My new GLX DSR822 will be here on Thursday. Thinking of the new Megabass Orochii XXX Oneten Special sometime this season but looking forward to seeing a picture of roadwarrior's jerkbait road.

Good looking jig rod. Going with a 2-peice?

My next rod will be the end of my marriage with an extra fast tip.

Yeah, but I'll never take it apart. I've owned other 2pc jdm rods and once they're together you would never know. For some reason that specific rod line is all 2pc.
FrankN209 reply :
Probably another St. Croix Tournament spinning for finesse.
Team9nine reply :
Absolutely no plans at this point to add another rod to the arsenal - I have plenty. Might consider a new reel before long though 
-T9
S Hovanec reply :
Another dropshot rod would be a good guess. Maybe a bluegill rod. Not entirely sure.
trouttracker reply :
Sold 2 rods, splurged and just took delivery on 4 Dobyns Champion XP rods:
1. Jerkbait 7' 4 power graphite,
2. Crankbait/Jerkbait 7' 5 power glass composite,

Custom built by the mob!?
RichF reply :
Not exactly true to the OP but...I had a mishap with a telescoping, plano bazooka rod tube last year and now I have to replace the following (makes me sick to even type this)....
A 7ft mh St Croix Legend Xtreme
A 6'8 m spinning St Croix Legend Tourney
A 6'10 m spinning St Croix Rage
A 7'0 mh Shimano Crucial
Thank God for reduced replacement costs....
If this didn't happen, I would've went after a new bladed jig rod. Maybe something in the 7'3 to 7'6 range, mh - h, preferably glass.
kbeeb374 reply :
Well I am having an irod Jr. Swimbait rod being shipped to me currently.. so probably that one.

man i couldn't fish that damiki rig if i tried, watching the bass live and seeing all of them do it for a few days was enough to turn me off of it. but yeah, that'd be the guy to build the custom!

A dropshot rod? Now there's a surprise. LOL
Jeff H reply :
Just bought another Avid 3 days ago. Didn't need it but it was 30% off so I couldn't just leave it there!
Next rod is likely to be a 2 pc spinning for use in my float tube. The updated Cabela's Fish Eagle will get the nod here. Probably 7' M or MH...haven't decided yet. Great rod for $70!!
JLWoodman reply :
Just ordered the new FR806SB, but they won't be in Tackle Warehouse until Feb 21. My next rod will be for jigs and lighter flipping applications in light cover.
Mosster47 reply :
Got a 7'6" ML/XF St Croix, Legend Xtreme on the way for drop shotting.
Bass_Fishing_Socal reply :
I just got myself another cadting MH/F daiwa tatula and like it alot, fish with it a few time and caught 7 fish already. The next rod might be another tatula but thinking of ML/F for 1/8 oz stuff for crappies to match my new alphas.
craww reply :
A light action spinning Rod for farting around in creeks. Need to research more, want something that's truly a fast action. Most rods that will drift down to 1/32oz or so are too parabolic or whippy.
clh121787 reply :
Something to pair with the tranx 300. probably a 8 foot custom angle mh swb rod
