Anyone use these? Any input would be appreciated. They look like a great buy.

A lot of positive reviews here and on other boards. I am planning to give one a try during the upcoming sales.

I wouldn't get an Inferno if I were you. They just came out with the MAX 3D rods so the original Max and Endurance rods are gonna be sold for dirt cheap. That's where I'd go if I were you.

On a budget and won't have the money for a while.

I picked up my Max for 128, which is the same as the Inferno retail. I also like FUJI Alconites better than the stainless steel guides the Inferno has.

 

IMO I believe there are much better rods in that price range. Micro Magics can be found for like 100 bucks. Try and look for some good deals or wait till Black Friday.

I hate how Everytime I post something about a rod on here no one can answer the question, have to suggest something else right away.

Well they are trying to help you out. Why buy an inferno for $130 when you can get an endurance for the same price? It's s no brainer if you ask me. Better blank with better components for the same price. It's like paying $12 for top sirloin when you can get a porterhouse for $12.

I agree, the guys are only trying to help but you know, sometimes a certain look or style may catch a persons eye and they get set on something, or it could be other things. If he likes the look of the inferno then he would probably be more happy with it because he is looking at it for a reason or combination of reasons but we all kind of look at aesthetics as that is what normally catches the eye. For myself, I agree with you guys, better blank and components but, only to a certain extent, I have to like the feel so the reel seat has to work for me, a lot of good rods still use the Fuji ECS reel seat, I never cared for it.  As for components, well to be honest, a lot of guys won't notice the difference between the steel inserts or ceramic, sure, the hardcore guys who are out multiple times a week will notice if his average casting distance has increased or his sensitivity has gotten better with one guide compared to another, but most weekend warriors can't tell the difference because they aren't on the water enough to really know, so we, as anglers, tend to take the word of pros who do notice those very things and it is why there are so many different guides to choose from. ChrisWi, don't get mad, these guys were getting you a better rod for the same money, but you like the inferno and so you need to say thanks guys but I want to know just about the rod I asked because I like the look and I'm trying to find out if anyone has it and they like it. That is what you need to say instead of getting mad because we all do the same thing, and that is try to help, most would want the better option and when talking about reels it is a no brainer but the aesthetics of a rod are different, if you don't like the look of the rod, you will regret buying it.  

I might save the extra money and get a new max 3d
