Saltwater inshore Fishing Rods?
 

Anyone have some good advice on a good decent priced saltwater rod? I have already been threw 2 falcon saltwater Series 7ft medium rods(About 3" of the rod snapped) in a matter of 6 months.

I've had my falcon for a bit now with no issues. I run an Abu and Okuma baitcaster, and a falcon and Okuma spinner.

I'm no expert, but the okuma's are my favorite out of the bunch.

Okuma baitcaster has a speed spool on it, the spinner has a Sahara, falcon has a Sedona, and Abu has a revo S. The 2 okuma's are super smooth, light, great feel in the hand, and both cast great with the reels they are paired with.

Stick'Em rods are great for their price point.

Seen super spook has a Laguna liquid series for sale in the classifieds. Doesn't get any better for a production rod.

Can't beat shimano's warranty, great rods

For the Money .. Sheet Reese 7' spinner/worm is great all- around rod for trout and red.. From Country station.. $85 or a little less I think.. Replacement right there At country Station..

This is a Wright and McGill rod.. Great blank.. Micro-eyes..

Just picked up a GLoomis Greenwater today...will reply w/ post tomorrow evening of what I think.

I myself love the falcon cara T7 7' med fast
Great balance / weight/ sensitivity/ durability
But u have to ship them off at your expense for replacement. Just sent one off so will see how long it will take to get feedback/return.

Not a big shimano rod fan (product) but love the warranty.

Good luck and remember, with rods....u definitely get what u pay for.


Most of my money is spent on fishing, fishing tackle, & boats... The rest is wasted.

I got a Duce twiwted rod a while back. I'm very happy with it. Its a good quality made rod and the feel of it is awesome

I have a st croix crankbait rod I really like for jigging and top water. It's a 7ft medium moderate action. Right around $100. Stick em rods are definitely good for under $100. My favorite rod I own is a 6'6" H&H split grip, but W told me they quit making that model.

I like my shimanos. I know some say that they make a rob that will break, and it is an inconvenience to bring it in for replacement.

However, I do love my shimano rods. I have 2 7' ML Crucials and a 7' M Duce twisted. Used to have a ML duce, but read up on previous threads.

Falcon makes decent rods. I agree with Paul that stick'em rods are good for the price you pay.

Stick'em ~$70
Falcon HD ~$70
Shimano Clarus ~$100
Shimano Crucial ~$160


Meaux, do you still use the Compre's? I've never fished with them but when I was rod shopping I figured I'd go up a little in price for a better blank. Any thoughts for a $110 compre with a lifetime warranty?

Yeah when I bass fish. Those are my bass rods. I also have a compre and a crucial spinning rod. I have no problems with em at all. The only time I've broke a shimano rod it was user error putting it in a rod box

Still like my $40 berkley lightning rods for spinning tackle. Okuma reels.
That way if i break one its not going to make me cry.

Calcasieu extreme rods are great. I have three of his light action and are great for trout.

Hit up jchief fir more info.

I have all duce rods... 7' medium, 7' medium light and 7' medium heavy. And a 7'6'' medium spinning rod... Like em all... Best rods ive ever used... And decently priced.

Warranty may be a little shady, however.

I had one mess up on me and got it replaced free next day.

Word on the streets is they went out of biz. But that is just hear say and based in no factual knowledge at all.

I wouldn't doubt it, horrible attitude/ customer service

They supposed to be building a place in Lafayette right now that they gonna build all their rods and stuff. From the last I hear the owners are switching up or one if them is dropping out.

I hate to run down a company but Duce rods has the absolute worst customer service that I have ever experienced. I have been waiting since June to receive my Duce rod back from repair. I have sent multiple emails, voicemails, Pm's, etc... The only thing that I received back was a bunch of excuses and how horrible they felt. They tried telling me that the rod had been at the ex-partners house...BS. The rod was shipped to Matt's house. They promised to get back to me and were going to send me 2 rods for the inconvenience. Guess what...not a peep since then. I would expect this type of customer service from a larger company but not a local business. I can't even get my $200 rod back so someone else can repair it! A total waste of money.

If you are talking about spinning rods, an excellent rod is the new Penn Legion model: top of the line high modulus graphite, cork and guides.

Another often overlooked rod is Cabelas' Salt Stryker rods in both spinning and casting models.

All above rods at/about $99.

Sorry business.

A rod that special takes some time to repair properly.

It should not take 6 months to return emails or phone calls. I was just told they went out of business, so I guess it will never get repaired.

I was being extremely sarcastic

Dude com on got twisted guides. That takes time. ;)

I just bought five new Curado 200e7. They are discontinued and found these on ebay.I love the reels. So I needed new rods and purchased 6 for 39.99 each. I really like them. I usually fish with shimano and allstars rods. These rods are just as nice. Last years models. Daiwa Procyon PCN701MLFB ask for Peter at Simmons Sporting Goods 205 426 0490. They are split grip 7" Meduim light with extra fast tip. Rated 8-15lb line and 1/4-1/2oz. Tell him Rick from la sent you. You can check them out on ebay
