Hey, I'm thinking about a new spinning rod for throwing weightless flukes and senkos. So im thinking a medium or medium heavy fast action. Anyone have any suggestions, preferably under $100

Daiwa Procyon 7' medium light, extra fast will work fine. I was gifted that rod and I was going to send it back but after using it I decided to keep it as a back up and then give it to my grandson as an all purpose spinning rod. I have used it for shaky heads and flukes and things like that but it was good at throwing anything from a 5" Senko down to a 1/8oz tube jig with decent sensitivity for a $70 dollar rod. The extra fast action is probably where the added sensitivity comes from but it also makes it easy to skip with and it is nice for working a fluke and even though it says medium light, it is a medium power, if you went with a medium heavy it would be too much.

I prefer a M XF action for my weightless flukes and stickbaits.  I currently am using a St. Croix Rage 6'8" MXF and have been very pleased with it's performance.  They are a 140 rod but i believe in the st croix bargain room they have them for 100.

X2 that's just an awesome blank for weightless senkos.

I agree with you, I too like a medium extra fast, I use a 6'9" and I think anywhere in the 6'6" to 7' range is great for those baits. I suggested the Procyon because it is a ML-XF but it under rated, it is actually a medium power, and I also agree, I'd go with the Rage but he is looking for something less than or under $100, not right at that price, when I see "under $100" I think $60 to $80 as that is what most anglers are looking at.

Rage is on sale for $99, that's under $100 . And a killer value at that price. As long as you can get comfortable with the handle/reel seat.

I don't have experience with them or know which one would be a good Senko rod, but Cabelas has *** Blacks on sale on their website now. Seems to have a good following and reputation as very sensitive at their price point.

Where is it on sale?

St Croix website directly in their bargain room

+1 on the St. Croix Rage.  Great deal and an awesome rod..St. Croix doesn't get as much run as it deserves either, they're like the offensive lineman of fishing.

Bargain room now has the Rage down to $89 with free shipping.
