Ok I have norrowed my reel down to a Premier, Curado or SX (if I want something cheaper so I can spend more on my rod. Now I can get the Premier for $180 the SX for $120 and the Curado for $130

I have been looking at the Skeet Reese - $60 and the Veritas - $idk

I have heard alot about the Bucoo but don't want a soft rod. Are the Kistler Carbon Steel and Okuma EVX rods light and sensitive?

What else is there?

I know all my question are probably getting annoying and I'm sorry I just don't want to buy a rod that I'm not gonna like.

Thanks 8-)

buy a Compre and just fish.

Hey, maybe you can hook a brother up with one of those deals you'r getting?

compre.

BA $100 rod.

Dude Daiwa Cielo at TW for 124.88... NOTHING and I mean NOTHING even comes close to those rods at even 250... its the same blank as the Steez... I own a lot of them I bought 5 when TW had them at 150 and I bought  a few more today at the 124.88 price...

Trust me you wont touch a rod that nice at that price with anything else.

Steex Complie-X rods have 90-99% carbon content as where the normal SVF rods have 81-86% carbon content (higher Carbon content more Sensitivity and lighter weight)

Less than $100=Abu Garcia vendetta,Temple Fork Outfitters (look on tackle warehouse), American Rodsmith limit stix, Allstar ASR A little over $100= E21 carrot sticks gold series, Falcon Bucoo and lowrider and probably the Abu veritas. My next rod purchase will be the Temple Fork. Oh and the Kistler carbon steel that you mentioned is a good rod. I have a freind who swears by them.

Yes,  here I go again guys.  CABELA'S XML.  They are great at reg. price and a barn burner at $69.  I'm close to cab.  (3 mi. maybe)  so i can see and use their products a lot.  I would put them against any rod in the $200 range (give or take).  I've owned several higher $ rods now and in the past.

They are running out of them fast!

Vendetta would be my choice no questions asked, I would choose it over several rods in the $150 range.

Oh my...thanks for the awesome tip.

This rod is a steal at $200. $128 is sick.

I just gotta figure out how to get 5 of these in the house without the wife seeing....

I'm on the wagon with you on the Cabelas XML and have 4 of them myself. At $69 they are one of the better bargains out there right now. I don't think you would be let down if you grabbed one or two of them.

Curado 50E for light baits

Premier for every thing else 8-)

Only prob is I cant get the Lowriders wholesale.

Ok I want a Split-Grip rod, foam or cork handle, and somthing that comes in alot of choices of Lengthes, Actions, and Powers so if I want to I can switch all my rods to these.

Ok I just thaught about this. I am not buying this by saving up, this is what im gonna ask fore my birthday. So im not paying for it, My B-Day in october tenth so I want to have a Set mind by Semtember first that will give my dad enoough time know what I want. So Like I said I can get the Curado and SX for $130 im gonna get on of those probably so I can spend more on the rod.

I was looking at the Boyd Ducketts and Powells

I really like how light the Duckett is (2.7 ounces) So im leaning towards that.
