Inexpensive rods

3dkicker · 03-26-08, 10:32 PM

Stopped into Gander Mt, the bait monkey has started on me again

, and saw that the Rapala HM 30 rods were being sold for $14.95. I thought that for that amount the rods couldn't be much

. I picked up a 6'6" M/F baitcasting rod and was impressed

. For anyone looking for an inexpensive rod check them out.

Another inexpensive rod is the Durango by shakespeare, i think its like 8 bucks at walmart. i bought one last year and havent had any problems with it yet (knock on wood). i got the 6'6" M spinning rod.

My favorite inexpensive rod is the Shimano Sojourn. I belive I saw it for only 20 bucks, but forgot where.

Shakespeare excursion at walmart is $12. Its not great, but it is a rod.

My favorite lower end rod is the Quantum Torison, sold at Wally World for $20. It is made with IM6 Graphite. I have the 6'6" MH for Spinnerbaits... Great Rod!

I like the Cherrywood for a cheap rod.

My favorite would have to be the St.Croix Premier Crankbait Series...

What application do you use your Sojourn for, BB?

I don't have one, but I've fished with them. Spinnerbaits on one and jigs on the other. Nice rods for only $20, but I am a fan of Shimano Rods.

GOT 2 CHERRYWOODS AND LOVE THEM ALMOST AS MUCH AS THE LITHING RODS! sorry for the caps,lol.

Cherrywoods indeed are unbelieveably incredible at that price. I have one myself.

Congrats on the new Rapala rod and thank goodness you didn't get a Rapala sportsman's classic rod. I am a Rapala fan, but the rod is a piece of crap and I also got it on sale for $15.00. I have since converted it to a split grip.
