Which one is the best for the money..

7ft medium heavy

Haven't used a newer model Sellus, but the older models weren't great while the Arid x fishes well above it's price range. I'd use more of them if theu were offered in more models.

Saw they had them marked down to 39.99 at my academy might have to get a arid x .

I've got 4 different Aird-X models. 7' H/F, 7' MH/F, 6'6 M/F in casting and 6'6 M/F in spinning. The two 6'6 models are moving to shore fishing while I'll still be using the two 7' models in the canoe this coming season.

 

I've handled Dobyns Colts - which are $25 more - and I still prefer the Aird-X over the Colt.

I have two baitcasting Aird X’s: a AIRX661MFB and a AIRX701MHFB. They are hard to beat for the money. 

I have a Sellus spinning rod that I use but would describe as just OK.  It works for the price, but I have other rods in the same inexpensive end of the range that are better.

I got the arid x in 7ft medium heavy last night for academy for 39.99 going to pair it with my Bass pro qualifier 2  7.5to 1. And hit the lake this afternoon

I think you'll like it. I'm keeping my 7' MH/F Aird-X in the lineup for next year, replaced the 7' MH/F Laguna with a Fury 704.

Good rod, especially at that price.

I only got the Laguna last year cause I needed another MH/F rod in a hurry and it's all the local shop  had that was

A: Semi-decent

B: Affordable.

 

It did okay - I definitely prefer the Aird over the Laguna.

I have a Laguna spinning rod that works decent for small jerkbaits and cranks. I just use it for a beater rod when I'm fishing from the bank. They're on sale at Academy also and I'd have no problem buying another for $25.

Ya - the Laguna with my old President BC is shifting to the bank-beater trio.

The other bank-beater rigs are

Trion-30 on the 6'6 M/F Aird-X

Avocet RZT-1000 on the 6'6 ML/F Avocet

My son has 2 Laguna spinning rods.  They arent bad rods.  He was catching fish on a jerkbait with me a few days ago on them with 8lb yo zuri line.  Great value rod for a kid or to have as a beater Rod.  Not sensitive on any level with the rods I use, but I like the actions.  Great rod for the 28 bucks I spent.
