Ok, So I was looking at a more cost friendly rod. I like dobyns but they are way expensive

I bought a duckett. In hand it feels nice. The guides are all straight and balances well. I will be doing a full review after I fish it some more. Paired with a BPS PQ. I got the 7' heavy for jigs/ heavy t rigs

I have seven Ducketts; I'm a bit of a fan.

They are not bad rods but I think for the money there are better options. The *** or Irod genesis 2

Congratulations ! You sound happy with you're choice! That's what it's all about.

congrats... let us know what you think of the on the water performance when you get some time with it...

What line of Duckett? Ghost, MicroMagic, or Ice?

Had a 13 hated the reel seat. I haven't heard good things about irod costumer service or guides/blank problems.

I purchased one a couple of months ago with the micro guides. So far I am pleased with it.

I have never had a problem with customer service from Irod. It's nice that the number on the website is the owner cell number. I wast a fan of Dobyns warranty and the Duckett rods to me are no different than the skeet Reese rods. To each his own

what's not to like?

 

you can snap it over your knee, pay the processing/shipping and you get a new rod, no questions.

I just had a problem with them on a couple of champion extremes. Just personal preference

so you sent in your rod and a check and they didnt send you a new one?

(which is industry standard)

dont want you to think i am busting your chops, I just want to hear the horror story if there is one.

Ive got a duckett ghost which is there entry level at 100 paired with a shimano caenan its my lightest combo i have, ive got the 7'3 MH for frogging and what not i love it

Genesis II is my favorite rod. I'll take a genesis II over omens, gl2's, powells, and most other rods within $100.

It's just my opinion guys. I had a problem that I discussed with Gary himself a few years back. I wasn't happy with how it was handled. Everybody has there preference on what rod the choose to use. I have been fortunate enough to fish with lots of brands high end and entry level and I make my decisions on what I feel best suits my needs.im bashing anybody's brand just stating my opinion.
