  • 13 Archangel and Muse. That's about it. I'll probably go custom otherwise.

  • I'm planning on buying my first Dobyn's DX, just to see what all the fuss is about.  I need a good BFS rod, might go factory, might go custom.  The rest will probably be customs.   Edit, I could see

  • Phenix maxium

I know, but the time I went to check it out they were sold out of the one I wanted

Not sure the model numbers yet but I will be purchasing two new Powell Max 3D rods this year. One for jerkbaits and another for med cranks/rattletraps. This should complete my switching over all my rods to Powell rods, but then again every time I think I have everything covered there is always one more my bass fishing addiction has to buy. LOL

I scored a champ 703 and champ dx 704 over the last couple months. Those are my 2015 rod buys. I caved in to the Dobyns peer pressure.

I'm gonna be picking up another St. Croix LTB for pitching/flippin' and I'm going to try out the new Avid X as well. There may be one more rod too, but I'm not sure if I'll have the funds or not and also not sure what I'd buy for sure lol. 

Im really stuck between a DX744 or a Legend Xtreme 7MH or picking up my first Loomis

gonna run to basspro tomorow and check out some stuff. hopefully theyll have an Avid X i can look at

I'll get one or two of the new Johnny Morris CarbonLites.  Those rods are so light and balanced that they make a veritas feel like a tip heavy pig.

I'm contemplating on getting two more rods, but I'm trying to decide if I want to try my own "custom" route or grab a new Carbonlite rod or Duckett Ghost..or maybe I get all three.  :eyebrows:   I am leaning more towards a Carbonlite (White one) or go custom.  I have 5 reels without a mate.

Couple more Black Omens, the Black *** Crankenstein, maybe one of the Phinex glass crankbait rods,  and possibly a custom frog rod.

For me it's the Crucial rods I snagged at DSG for basically peanuts. Not the newest version, but new to me.

Im also looking at the St. Croix LTB 6'10" ML/XF as a dedicated finesse worm rod, but it's far down the list as I have a need for some reels at the moment.

im lookin at those phenix glass rods as well. stumbled upon Cousins rods while looking at TW. they make a nice looking glass rod im looking at as well

I'm looking at possibly getting a Kistler, not sure which one, and possibly a custom built frog rod.

  • 2 weeks later...

I got a deal on a 13 *** and now looking for a 13 *** crankenstein. Also picked up a veritas for skipping.

Going all custom this year. Got a guy who builds them out of St. croix or Mhx blanks going to get a few this year

How are they?? They look really nice. How do they compare to other rods in the price range like the veritas, vendetta etc.? Looks like they would make a good crankin stick.

I just got the new micro magic and I see the improvements ... But I think I'll try a white ice for a swimbait rod this summer

 they feel great never had a veritas or vendetta but i have a st criox mojo bass and i like the feel of the e motion over the mojo bass cant wait to test them

Thinking about testing out some Phenix and *** rods.  Been a faithful G. Loomis guy most of my life but after having fished a couple friends' Phenix rods I have to say I'm impressed.

I treated my self to a dobyns 703c and I just bought a 705cbmf. I plan to get 2 more before the end of March to start the season off The right way!! I'm pretty excited for this season. I have completely different setups.
