I think the Cabelas Fish Eagle 50 line of rods will be on sale for $45 on Thursday. I hear good things about them.

You'll be surprised how sensitive they are, I promise.  Ima get me one too if they gonna give 'em away for $45.

7'6 H Vendetta.bought one yesterday locally on sale for 44.00 bucks

You'll be surprised how sensitive they are, I promise. Ima get me one too if they gonna give 'em away for $45.

Per the sale ad I got earlier this week, their "Spring Great Outdoor Days" run March 12 through April 6. 30% off other Cabelas rods too so the Crankshaft will go back on sale and the ZX stays on sale. And $60 for Fenwick Silverhawks.

I used my LR Shock 7'6" some last year and its good for throwing an a-rig or a frog in the nasty stuff. Its not great by any means but its affordable. If your going to use a heavy action often spend the extra money and get something nicer as deals are still out there and you could possibly find a vendetta or even a 1st gen veritas floating around someplace. Both of the abu models I listed are lighter and balance better in my opinion from what i've seen when checking them out in person.

I am interested in buying a 7' to 7'6" Heavy with fast action.  I really like the TFO Tactical but was wondering if there were any others that would be recommended for maybe cheaper.  I don't really want to spend over $150. 

***... Some don't like the grip though I love my 7'3 heavy and 7'1 mh
