need a new rod

[Fishing4Soup]

Well, i brought some of my friends and little brother fishing. About 10 minutes in i put my rod down to go get 3 hooks out of various snags, and on accident my brother stepped on my rod. No biggy...my baitcast combo was 50 alltogether lol(BPS Royal Express Combo). ANYWAYS, i need a new rod. I'd like the price to be no more that 100 because im going to need to buy a new reel too. I'm going to be throwing almost everything on this rod so i'd like a versatile one as well. I'll probably be ordering from BPS so a rod from tehre would be nice.

So far by the looks of it i might get an ugly stik rod or an allstar rod but im open to all other rods as well.

i would try the bps bionic blade they run 79.99 i think they the best rod under the $100 range

You should know by now, I will suggest a quick trip over to Crazy Fish Rods website, shoot an email to Rick Smotherman telling him exactly what you said here... versatile, want to throw everything, want it in a budget. And see what he comes up with. I am a total convert from exactly that same scenario and couldn't be happier.

Rick is off fishing of all things this weekend... but he will respond quickly I am sure.

Good Luck, make sure to post what you went with.

alright i'll give his rods a try i guess.

[Fishing4Soup]

his rods are more than 100 i dont want to spend that much yet until we have a boat where i can keep my rods safe.

Well, I understand a budget... man do I understand a budget.

Thanks for taking a look though. I knew there were some close to the $100 mark, but I just looked again and they are over no doubt.

I still want to hear about the new stick when you get one.

i own a cabelas rod and am very impressed by its performance so look at them and ive herd alot of good stuff about bps rods

I would suggest you spend the extra money on a SC Premier over a Triumph. There is a huge difference in the quality and feel of those rods. If you would seriously consider a Triumph I would like to recommend that for the same price you look at a Fenwick Eagle GT. I have used SC, Fenwick, BPS, and Daiwa rods, and I have recently converted to all Fenwick rods. There sensitivity is outstanding, and the only rods better get into the $250+ range in my opinion.

Ditto on the CrazyFish. Rick will definatly hook you up.
