FrnkNsteen Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 Ran down to *** to browse around their used stuff and pick up a few things. Came across a mint Doomsday Tackle Co "The 47" rod that felt pretty good. It's a 7'3" MH MF and they had it marked at $45. It felt good and was in mint condition so I picked it up. Got it home and mounted a Tatula CT Type R that I use for lipless cranks Don't know anything about them and not seeing much about them online other than a review by ***. Curious if any of you have any experience with them. I'll take a picture and post in a few minutes. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrnkNsteen Posted January 21 Author Share Posted January 21 I don't usually care much about color, but I think the Type R matches up pretty well! 😁 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthernBasser Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 I was eyeballing them last year when they were on sale. I like trying new stuff. Never bought one, but for $45 how can you go wrong? If you wanna get matchy matchy this reel would match up as well. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The few places I have seen them, they are priced at $140. Their website lists them for $169. Casted a Red Eye Shad around the yard last evening and it casts it well. We'll see how it fishes when I get a chance! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoFroFishing Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 Doomsday had a limited first 20 people buy 2 get 3 black Friday deal on their 47 Rods so I jumped on that. Like you said it wasn't a company I heard much about other than some positive reviews from a few websites. A guy on IG that I interact with has been using them and I just loved the way they looked. That old school cream and red sold me. Since December they are the only rods I have been using because I love them so much lol. Particulurly the ML BFS rod. I paired mine up with the SLX BFS and have been going to town including pulling a nice 4.7lb on a 2" Keitech. I also have the 7'3 MH MF that I use for chatterbaits. Haven't used it much because I am completely hooked on BFS right now. $45 is a steal for what I consider d**n good rods. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I look forward to getting it out and trying it this spring! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrnkNsteen Posted January 25 Author Share Posted January 25 So I wonder if they are still in business? I did some searches on Youtube and don't see them posting anything in 4-6 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric 26 Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 FWIW I just googled them for heck of it and it appears they’re still in business. They even have an Instagram page that they posted on earlier this month. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did some searches on Youtube and don't see them posting anything in 4-6 years. It seems they mainly focus on their 2 rod models now. I still have a few packs of their Reaper Craws, which were great trailers for finesse jigs. I actually got them at Cabela's 2-3 years ago. Now it seems the only place you can get them are on eBay. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil77 Posted Thursday at 03:46 AM Share Posted Thursday at 03:46 AM They are all I use for plastics now. I love the color, reminds me of my dad's old hot rods and Harleys. I've caught a couple hundred on my 7ML shakey head rod with no problems. Have three 7MH for t rigs and might try one out for spinnerbait/chatterbait this spring. Wish I knew about the 45 dollar deal, I would've switched all my rods. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm considering ordering the BSF rod others have spoken of. I'm going to a swap meet at a special event one of our local shops is doing this weekend. If I'm a good boy and don't spend much there, I may order one. Should be a fun event.... Gerald Swindell, Brent Ehler, and Scott Martin are going to be there this weekend and there is a "Swap Meet" on Friday from 3-7. Never been to a fishing swap meet! Maybe there will be some cool old stuff! As for the Doomsday rod,... There wasn't a special deal. Just one rod in the used rods rack in the store. The color stood out looking like a classic old rod. I picked it up and immediately realized it was a newer rod. Looked at the price and thought, "What the heck.... Let's try it" 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
