I have been looking for a light casting rod for under $200 and was wondering if anyone knows of any.

Light in weight? Or light power? And in either case, what length?

Light in weight? Or light power? And in either case, what length?

x2. I can think of ALOT of rods that fall in to that criteria. St.Croix, Shimano, Duckett, Abu Garcia, Carrot Stick, ect......

If you mean light as in power then I would look at the G.Loomis GL2 or the Falcon Lowrider XG.

Light style: St Croix Premier Casting 7'6"Light/Mod

Light Weight: Too many to list

Sorry I mean light in power and I would like at least 6'6".

Edit: I think I will go with what the poster above put but I will still consider different ones. One thing is it must be 1 piece no 2 pieces.

If you really need a L power You may look at this one.

G. Loomis GL2 Cast Spinnerbait Rod 6'9" Light $190.00

Great value: http://www.pinnaclef...Class-Rods.aspx

Dobyns makes a few 1-power casting rods.

I second the Pinnacle Rod. My 7' heavy is 4.2 oz. Great rod for the money. Also the Shimano. Crucial

Not a lot of light-power factory BC rods out there. The only one that I personally own is a Phenix Recon PHX-C682 rated at 1/16 to 3/8 lure weight, 4-10lb line. The rod itself weighs 3.5oz, is 6'8", and retails for about $160. Phenix also offers a 7'1" light-power rod (PHX-C712) - same lure and line specs as the 6'8" rod - $170.

Thanks that is exactly what I was looking for.

Abu Garcia's Villain series has a 6'9" ML power MF action. I used it in both prototype and production models. The weight range is 1/8-1/2 oz and 6-10 lb test. It worked well for jerkbaits, light shallow cranks, smaller topwaters and a few other bait types. MSRP is $179 but I've seen it from reputable dealers for $139.

I have decided on the Phenix.
