Need ideas

Featured Replies

I want to get a 1 pc. 7 ft. graphite spinning rod with plenty of backbone for worms, senkos, ikas,, etc... when I am fishing weightless.   I need to keep it under 100.00.  

Any ideas???  BPS and Cabelas do not seem to have what I am looking for.

Spinning rods are lighter than their trigger counterparts, a MH spinning is pretty much like a M trigger, so if you want backbone look for a higher power rated rod ( H )

You say you want plenty of backbone, good quality but under $100.

Compre and Clarus rods have what you are looking for, now the catch is what you prefer, Extra Fast/Fast action or Fast action only ?

Compres are either ExF or F ( around $80 )

Clarus are Fast ( around $60-70 )

I 've fished with both and from the two for that purpose you want it for ( weightless soft plastics ) I 'd take the Compre.

BPS and Cabelas should have what you are looking for.

Take a look at an AllStar SRMHTN.  I use one for just what you described, also for vertical jigging silver buddies.  The TN designates a Tennessee handle, but they also make it with a reel seat if that's your bag.

Clarus CSS70H, 7 ' Heavy Power ExFast action.

I like my BPS Extreme 7' MH for weightless Senkos and Ika's, and light T-rigs...

And it's on sale now ;)

Have you check Reeds, I got just what you are looking for in the St. Croix Premier in their 2005 model clearance.  I got 3 rods and free shipping and I think I paid about $50 per rod.  Very nice and versatile rod too.  

In baitcasters I am 99.9% a MH guy but, about two years ago for my bday a friend gave me a Extreme BPS 6'6" med  8-17 lb line baitcasting rod. I have to admit, it is a great rod for Senkos. I have caught a ton of fish on this rod. They are reasonable too at 99.00.

Pond Hopper, where is Reeds at?  is it a website????  I never heard of them before.

Yep I have only good things to say about Reeds, the only problem is they are out of the rod you want, I must have gotten the last one, although ideally I want a 6'6" one because my girlfriend uses it and she thinks it is too long.  Good luck on your search.

Another thumbs up for Reeds.

They always at least one St. Croix rod on sale, ususally more.

If you want a Legend Elite at a great price from an established company then bookmark Reeds and keep checking.  That's how I got my LE66MHF.  My favorite jig rod.
