I just won some tournament money, and I want to get a new quality baitcast rod. All of my rods cost about $30, so I want to upgrade to the $50-$80 range. I'm am going to buy it from tacklewarhouse since I get a nice discount (college team) and shipping will be free.

Would anyone recomend the daiwa tierra rods? I'm leaning towards one of those.

Look at the new Falcon BuCoo rods.  $99 to $110 and they use all Fuji components, including guides.

Later,

My Son gave me a Diawa Tierra for Chirstmas, but it's a spinnin rod, 6'6" mf..I've used it for a variety of lures, and while it may not be the best for any one given bait, I've caught alot of fish with it, he also gave me a Shimano 2500 reel to go with it, seems pretty balanced.

I now since aqquiring a cough few other rigs, use that for my worm rod.

Also, look at the Shimano Clarus, it runs about 70.00, has a lifetime warranty.

x2 on the bucoo,or st.croix mojo.

    Shimano Clarus.  With a lifetime warranty and the price point, it's hard to beat.

shimano clarus are very nice for the price and lifetime warranty its a no brainer  ;D

The Mojo's are on back order til July
