Teramar? Versatile? What power and action? I spotted some at cabelas but they were a little heavy and bulky. They are made for saltwater, i dont think theyd be very comfortable for bass

I vote for lightning or uglystick. These type of rods are part of the learning experience. I learned on a uglystick.

If you can afford the gloomis this is a no brainer

Yeah sorry for punctuation, my english is getting better

What are you gonna use it for? Gear ratios?

I also did a good deed today, i was out at the lake unloading my boat and there was a kid around 18 years old fishing, all he had was a handful of lures and his rod. He was mexican just like me so we had a nice talk and got along really well, good kid. As i was about to head out i asked if he wanted to join, he couldnt beleive it. He had never been on a boat. Got him on some fish he caught a nice 6 pounder his new pb. And now i have a new friend and fishing partner, also he took my advise in a very good way and changed lures as i told him what the fish wanted. I feel good and im glad i made his day. Next time i head out hell get an invite

Lol no, slonezp summed it up

For baitcaster i use many different brands, for spinning i only use shimano. After using symetres, saros, stradics and saharas for over 5 years any other brand i try feels cheap and not as smooth

I prefer cabelas, their house brand rods and reels are good too.

I use 40 size reels for spinning, less line twist and ipt. Also can cast a lot further. But the weight makes the 40 reels not balance out great on most rod. For beggining definetely go with a 30 size. And that supreme is a great reel

I have a spinning 7ft mh. I like it more than my zodias. Its my favorite rod. Very sensitive and very good backbone

Me too^^^ only thing interesting to me is the pflueger baitcasting reel and some zman stuff. Other than that this years icast is garbage

Lol i wasnt serious

Texas rig it with a pegged weight and a 1/0 hook. Works the same. But you have to use atleast 10lb line

Or you can reel faster

I honestly never looked at those because i thought they were around 150. At 100 they look pretty good. I actually live next to a cabelas, might have to check them out man

And they didnt break in the truck, they broke on hooksets and 1 broke trying to unsnag a lure on 6lb line

The only brand i wont even consider is 13 Fishing. I broke 3 and then i had a very bad experience with their customer service on a brand new rod with a defect. I might go check out the carbonlites later today

If its a river than my thought are the current was a little strong and he had to ghetto rig it that way to keep the line from going with the current

12k???

Thanks iabass but the rods im considering are not on there. Im here to see which rods people have actually tried themselves. thanks fishnkamp i will look into those Ive heard lots of good stuff about powell but never really looked into them

im looking to buy an arsenal of fishing rods for tournament fishing. Im looking to spend around 100 each. Im gonna buy about 5 rods. But i havent really tried rods in the 100 range. The 3 rods i currently own are zodias. been looking at the new lews tournament tp1, falcon bucoos, bps carbon light, h20 ethos ducketts, shimano compres but i havent settled on one brand. Anybody have experience with these? Or any suggestions? i need a punching rod, pitching rod, texas rig rod and deep diving cranking rod and maybe a jig rod but i know i can use one for a couple different techniques. Thanks guys Also i like to keep my rods at a maximum of 7'3 Dont really care about weight

I actually used to work at a factory in mexico were we made a lot of shoes that are sold here in america. Let me tell you a lot of the people i worked with speaked very good english. I learned english in elementary school ib mexico. And we also had to learn the us measurment system in and out. I think this problem has more to do with a printing problem

I recommend sunline flourocarbon, the blue version is the cheapest and really good Give that vanish a try though, maybe i got a bad batch

Careful with that vanish. Broke my heart once
