Fenwick Techna AV 7 ft med

This rookie beat me to it.

I have never fished a Loomis spinning rod, but if they are even half as good as the IMX baitcaster, you can't go wrong.

I'd get a American Rodsmiths H3 Titanium. www.americanrodsmiths.com/Products/H3Titanium/H3TitaniumFreshwaterModels/tabid/77/Default.aspx

Bass Pro has some on their site for $200. Just search for "H3 Titanium"

I just bought a baitcasing model about 4-5 months ago and I LOVE IT!!! Top notch if you ask me!! You WILL NOT be disapointed with this rod!!

If you want to pay $270.........You can get THE BEST ROD ON THE MARKET!!! The American Rodsmiths H3 Titanium Ultra. www.americanrodsmiths.com/Products/H3Titanium/H3TitaniumUltra/tabid/137/Default.aspx

Bass Pro has it for $270. Just search for "H3 Titanium"

If I had the $$$$ I'd buy this one in a heart beat!!! No other rod compares to the H3 Titanium Ultra!!

THE BEST ROD ON THE MARKET????/ NOT NEARLY, good rod but certainly not the best

Round one just began.

i have $250.00 to buy a new spinning rod i want 6'6"- 7' med action i fish sm & lg mouth bass and i use everything from spinnerbaits to senkos crankbaits and jigs so i am looking for an all around rod.

            what would you buy?

I think with your baits listed you would be better served to go for a MH instead of M.  I have some M St. Croix and Gloomis IMX spinning rods and I wouldn't use any of them with a spinnerbait.  I only use plastics and jigs up to 1/4 oz on those rods anything else seems too heavy.

The rod RW recommended is a MH and will do most of what you want.  I had one and it was a bit too heavy for my purposes so I traded it off.

            what would you buy?

For those techniques you would be better served with baitcasting gear. Personally, I limit my spinning to light lines and finesse techiques. But, if you want to use heavier spinning gear, It would be hard to argue with the SJ843 that Roadwarrior suggested.

yeah i already have an sjr 843 but i'm not crazy about the handle , i like the bronzback handle or some kind of split grip handle.

Consider the new Shimano Cumara at $220. I just got a deal on a MH 7'2". It is a very sweet rod. The Med is rather light so I opted for the MH which I feel would serve your purposes well.

Thank You

To all doubters of the American Rodsmiths H3 Titanium Ultra...

I have talked to several guides (all not endorsed, sponsored, or in any way affiliated with American Rodsmiths.) Most have said they SWEAR by it. Two of them used to be die-hard G-Loomis men and a third was exclusivly St. Croix.

Most of them said the American Rodsmiths H3 Titanium Ultra was the best rod they've ever seen. I've fished a baitcasting model, and it's a DREAM!! I own one of the H3 Titaniums, and it's the best I've ever handled. ( I've fished with everything form G-Loomis, St. Croix, Custom, Shimano,you name it!)

American Rodsmiths H3 Titanium Ultra= BEST ROD ON THE MARKET!!

JMHO.

Dude!

This is your third endorsement. You are 16 years old. Give it a rest.

You might not have given them all a try.

Amen, and until now i have never heard anyone talk about that rod, I wonder why?
