Berkley rods

OKie · 06-16-05, 10:43 PM

Are they any good? I want to buy one at walmart for $30.00. It is a one piece 6' medium heavy. I forget that the name of it was. It was a really strong rod. I wanted to get that rod with a mitchell reel for $20.00. But i didnt have the money at the time and i am goin to get my paycheck tomorrow and pay my mom back but she refused to get it for me. >

I WAS SO MAD! I'm goiin to amwell lake tomorrow and wanted to use it but.......AAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRHHHHHHHHHH!! What ever. I cant get it tonight so i shouldnt worry about it. Thanks for the posts.

The only Berkley rod I have used is a Lightnin' Rod, and it is a good rod. Still using them as a matter of fact.

So do u think that theyre all ok? I dont need a $70.00 fenwick.

Get the one you are happiest with. In the past month I've bought 3 new ones-2 Falcon Low Riders and an American Rodsmith topwater rod. didn't really "need" any of them

;D. Actually I needed one-I busted the tip on my C-rig rod a few weeks back.

Nope-an AllStar. Â*Left it strapped to the deck rather than in the rod box on the trip home and it got whacked against the trolling motor. Â*On the plus side I never really liked that particular rod so I got a Falcon Carolina Lizard Dragger instead. Â*I likee!

I busted a berkly cherrywood rod a couple weeks ago, definately wasn't a hard enough blow to break the rod, there was either a hairline crack or berkly rods really suck.

yes you do, you know you want it, your always drooling when you use one. Listen to the monkey, you need one and you know it!

Bassin_Dude · 06-17-05, 02:08 PM

i bet ya a $40 ugly stik will put last and out produce a $70 fenwick

randerson52 · 06-17-05, 05:20 PM

i had an ugly stik break

if it didnt, i probably wouldve never bought the fenwick, but i am glad it broke, cuz i love this rod!

prokidfishermen16 · 06-17-05, 05:23 PM

quantum rods and reels seem to be nice, and you can get relatively inexpensives combos

Bassin_Dude · 06-17-05, 06:41 PM

how in the world did you break an ugly stik? even if one breaks...ugly stiks have a life time warranty....you could have gotten a new one free of charge.....for life.. NJ, dont get a 6' rod...i have one 6' rod and i use it to crappie fish

I have a berkley super flats rodl designed for bay fishing. Ive hauled quite a few 7lb+ redfish with it, and its held up very well. Its ML action too.

GotBass · 06-17-05, 10:16 PM

i agree with bf02, ugly stiks are nice rods. i have a few of 'em... i love the ultralights for some exciting and fun fights with river smallies!
