Would you get the first shipment of the Duckett Ghost Rod.. or a *** *** black .... I am a fan of duckett.. and the ghosts are going to be coming soon to my local bait and tackle .. but not sure what to do... I can get the ghost for around75-80 and the *** will be around 90-95... 


I am looking at a 7'3 Heavy for either.. FOR FROGGIN!with lews speed spool 7.1:1

I learned last year not to jump on the "new or improved" when they first hit the market. I ditched 6 perfect reels that were gems and 4 rods for the new Abu products and got burned. I want a new Chronarch Ci4, but I'm going to wait a year to see if its a flop first. When I dumped my Abu's, I had to practically give them away. I don't want to be stuck with a 275 dollar paper weight.

I'm not saying anything negative about Duckett, just a general statement. The *** has been proven as a dependable rod that works.

Im with rockchalk on this one

Duckett has had breakage problems with every new release, the micro magic rods were breaking at first and then they seemed to get a little better and then the White ice rods were delayed a year as the prototypes the pro staff had were experiencing breakage issues. With all that I would wait until they are on the market for at least 6 months, that's about how long they need to be out before you begin to see real reviews done on them.
