hey guys im trying to find a rod that it 7'6" heavy power with xf action...and also below 130 dollars. i found the shimano crucial has a 7' heavy power with xf action but can anyone think of other brands that fit the criteria i stated above? thanks

My recommendation is not in your price range but i will throw it out anyways! It is an absolute powerhouse and very sensitive too! Powell Max 766H for $169 shipped.

In your price range i can think of an All Star Big Boy flippin' stick for $99.99. It is a brute but very heavy. Also, the BPS Nitro is almost in the price range for $139.00.

And i am pretty sure there is a couple here in the flea market section that fit the criteria!

i did notice a few bps rods fit that criteria, but the lack of a strong warranty is making me shy away from them...powell looks nice:D keep the suggestions coming, thanks guys

look into the carrot stiks. they are extremely light and they have a lifetime warranty.. but they are 150.. a bit over but well worth the extra couple dollars
