Has anbody ever used a rod or reel from Acadia sports? If so I would like to know what your over all take on them is. If you have used there f series rods I would really like to know about them to.

what I really what to find out is how they compare to other rods in the $70-50 range. Like BPS rods, the shimano clarus, the cabelas fish 2,or All-star rods.But any info on there rod or reels would be nice.

thanks

I have 4 Acadia rods, all F-Series, all 6'6" MH. Here is the best way I can describe them. They are built well, they are tough, and have quality components. I have yet to break one, and if I were ever going to break one, it would have been on the 8lb bass I wrestled in this summer that made his way under my boat.. .what a fight that was! But the rod held up! So, as far as durability, they are solid. However, the difference in these rods, and higher end rods is the feel. If you are fishing with a crankbait, or even topwater, I think they are fine. but if you are fishing plastics, and want to stay in the lower priced stuff, I would suggest something in the Allstar, St. Croix, Falcon, etc. For around 70 bux, I believe you can pick up a nice rod that will have much better feel. But overall,, for the price you pay, the Acadia rods are hard to beat!
