I need a good casting rod

Featured Replies

So I need a good casting rod for all around bass fishing but nothing to expensive probably 50-60 bucks.

Daiwa aird x. IMO it’s the best rod for $50. All around use? Get the 7ft mh. 

I've had good luck over the years with the Berkley Lightning Rods.  about $39.99 at Academy.

Check your local Wal-Mart for these on clearance, I just picked up 3 of the Lightning Rod Shocks for $9 each...not a bad deal for a $40 rod!!!

I really am impressed with the Academy H20 line of rods and they're around the 40-50 range. 

Daiwa Aird X has excellent reviews on TW, I believe it's $55

Abu vengeance in medium heavy 40 bucks and can do it all. Well not all but can cover most of your bases.

Great rod. I highly recommend it.

 

Another candidate is the Kastking Perigee II What a great rod considering the $59.99 price tag.

I second this. Great bang for your buck. Miliken fishing loves them too.

Lightning rod is the best cheap rod I have owned.

If your willing to spend 70 bucks and are near a cabelas Fenwick makes excellent rods. And would be quite a bit better than rods at the 50 dollar mark

If you throw more moving baits (cranks included) get a Berkley Shock. They have a great track record and hold up well too. Also different Shock rods have different strength tips so you can check then out at Walmart or wherever and get one you like. If you fish more soft plastics, go with an Abu Garcia Vengeance.

 

Of course if you find some better rods in the bargain bin or a good sale, that's the way to go.
