that is my personal favorite rod. i have 2 now, one is 7' the other is very old..one of the first and the tip is broken off. but still use it. it is "old fithful", about 5' 6" now. love the rod, gonna check our wally worlds. congrats and good fishing.

I hope they're better than they used to be. I bought them when they first came out. I think it was in the 70s or early 80s and I just kept breaking them and sending them back until I finally got tired of it and gave up. They've got to be better now or they would not have survived this long.

jigger i still have an orignal. and the only reason it broke is the wife shut the truck door on it. cut about 1 inch off the tip.

Yur a better man than me. I was lifting 5 and 6 lb stripers in the boat with them and they kept snapping. I'd send them back and they'd send me a new one. I got tired and quit. I never bought another one.

Mine got stolen. Great rod, too.

[BassAddict]

I own a newer one too. I like mine as well. 6'6" MH. I still have an OLD 5'6" one in the garage. Haven't used it in years though.

I only Lighting Rod I own is a 22" ice fishing rod. Nice little setup for hard water fishing, and at only $20 for the combo, I'm getting another next year.

My 7' medium old school solid flat black one is sitting at the bottom of Matagorda bay as we speak. I have never found one to replace it with.

ubf300,
I've been catching bass on this rod for several years. It does a good job for the price. Glad someone got a good deal at Wal-Mart! Good fishing to you.

hey bass addict, send me your old lighting rod, hehe, i can use it.

[basschick]

It's nice to grab up those deals, last night I picked up some YUM soft plastic creature baits and riverside brand (Walmart cheap version) plastic for .97 cents a pack. I used the riverside brand some last year, it's pretty soft and durable. There' s also a little variety. Didn't notice a significant difference between that and my namebrand stuff, except the price.

I have a bunch of lightening rods,They're great for worming.You guys remember when I bought those 5 curados for $40 each at walmart?That was a steal.
