Does any one know of a split grip rod that is in the 100 to 120 price range or even cheaper?? I have always wanted one but every one I find is like over 200 and i dont have that kind of money right now.

Here is a link to the Okuma Big Bait series rods they are $100 and are split grips.

G-Blanks offers a split grip rod for about $135.  It's a helluva rod for the money.  Their web-site sucks, but they are very responsive on the phone.  Bear in mind that they are a small company, so you may have to wait 3 or 4 weeks for your rod.

OKUMA!

OKUMA!!

OKUMA!!!

you could get the bass pro extreme with the split grip, but your limited to the length.

Shimano Crucial, dropshot rod.  Trigger rod is $129, spinning is $139.  Kinda in your price range....

diawa L&T offers a few split grip rods in your price range.

Build one or have one built.  I'm pretty sure you can get something really nice in that price range.  If you have the tenacity, you can do it yourself

Cant go wrong with a Daiwa Light and Tough......Those things are cheap at $120, they stack up to higher price rods IMHO.

Is it easy to mess up your rod if you try and split the grip on it your self??

Yup. If you have never done a re-mod or tried to build a rod DON'T start cutting the cork on your old one...

If you cut the blank removing the cork, nick the blank cleaning the old epoxy off, overheat the blank trying to soften the old epoxy for removal. There are a number of ways to mess up your rod.

You have been given some good options on the purchase of a new split grip rod. I would leave your old rod alone and follow those options...

Tight Lines!!!

If you want a spinning rod i have a daiwa light and tough that i would consider selling or trading.  Just don't use spinning rods enough to keep it.
