Best rods around 100$
 

I'm looking for a new bass rod.. Preferably 7 0" med heavy. I was wondering what you guys think are the best rod around 100$. I was checking out the 13 fishing Omens but I don't know any whose ever used one. Thanks

Picked up a Waterloo for $110 at Academy earlier this week. Lots of other good rods in the same range.

Falcon coastal edition rods

I have a 7'2" MH veritas. Stiffer than I expected. But I like it.

Lol

I've been fishing a duckett ghost for the money/ performance its a great buy IMO think it's $100

falcon bucoo

I was looking at the Ducketts other day.. They look and feel great but I'm too rough on my equipment to spend that much $100 on a rod... I'll prolly just stick to the $50 Allstars.

Ive been buying shimano convergence rods, you can buy two and still have some money left over for $100. I have a couple that are over 2 years old and they have lasted both in salt and fresh water

Check out Denali Rods they have some nice rods I'm the 100 dollar range.

St. Croix Mojo Bass, it has some major backbone if you are looking for a MH rod. Fast action on the tip and cast pretty decent for a MH rod. I rigged mine with 50#power pro on a Chronarch. A buddy turned me on to them after I kept snapping rods flipping reds in the boat. The braid will pop or hook will straighten before I snap that thing.

Im a big fan of St Croix rods too for that price range

st croix mojo has my vote

Veritos.

Falcon Buccoo or Waterloo Phantom

Them waterloo Phantom rods are very nice... great tails rod... and they are only like 110...

I fished the Skeet Reese yellow rods with great success. They are built my Wright and McGill. Free replacement for less than $100. Specks and Reds both.. I've flipped 5-8# reds in boat with this rod.

Falcon Bucoo....pay a little extra and get the micro guides.

Dammit!! I agree with ASR again.

I have lots of rods, frankly too many rods. Just about every Falcon Coastal, couple of Falcon HD's, Mo Jo Bass, a Waterloo Phantom, Couple of Diawa Laguna's that I love but snap pretty easy if you get too western with'm, and H20 Express's from 40-150$. Hands down the best rod in my boat is the H20 express Ethos Nano M Medium Light 6' 9" with the spring guides. Its also the most expensive. I would have never thrown that kinda money for a store brand rod but a buddy gave it to me for severing in his wedding. It cast further than anything I have thrown and the feel is amazing. I found no better rod to throw a swim bait. The OP asked about MH and the Mojo Bass is a beast but it weighs a ton. For the money the 30$ Diawa Laguna is hard to beat. But they break. I have returned 2 or 3 and they have replaced them. Just save your receipt. I've used skeet reese and carrot sticks and snapped them like twigs. I expect a 30$ rod to break on a bull red or Jack Crevalle but if I pay 90$ for a super awesome yellow rod it better not snap when I set the hook on a 2 lb trout.

Check out Halo rods. I got a Halo Starlite 7' MH about a year ago. Haven't fished with it much but really like it. Several pros are using the higher end Halos. They're a lot like Natural Light. The quality is going into the product and not the advertisement. Check out their website. They are currently out of the starlite but they should be have some in a couple weeks. Hard to beat the starlite for $50 with no tax and no shipping. http://www.halofishing.com/

And they have micro guides.

If I say I can flip 5-8# reds in the boat with a Skeet Reese. Book It BIG DADDY.. I'd be more than to show U if U want to PUT UR MONEY WERE UR MOUTH IS??? As In a small wager???? Wright and McGill rod has lots of backbone. I'll pay for the whole trip in my triton.. We can get a 3rd to OBSERVE.

I'd love to ride in one of those one day BigGum

Ok guys have any of you looked at these new Berkeley E-motion rods? 79.99 they feel great after checking them out at academy today...probably gonna try one out...

Bdub..I checked those out at the country store in Broussard. Felt good but just couldn't bring my self to buy a Berkeley rod for 80$. Ended up pulling the trigger on an all star for 69$

Seen these in walmart today in Eunice. I already had bought an all star at academy but these will definately be in the running when I'm
In the market for a rod again.

I'll volunteer to observe but I can't referee because I am biased. If that Skeet Reese survives boost flipping a 8lb red, I'll bet you double to nothing I could snap it on the next hook set. After the third one I returned to Gulfway the owner told me he was sick of mailing rods back to them and if I wanted it replaced I'd have to pay the shipping. A new one wasn't worth the 15$. I gave it to my mom to use a tomato stake. She ended up painting it black after she saw a HBO documentary about intercity Pimps and one of them had a Oldsmobile painted the same color.

Abu veritas and even the vendetta series are great for the price. I have probably 10 veritas and a few vendettas that are great. They offer the micro guides in the veritas also. They discontinued the originals and now have the 2.0, I have a 7-6 I think, MH cranking rod and love it in the 2.0 series. Also, I can vouch for the skeet reese breaking on reds too. Did that out of a yak when they first came out. Then got another one for football jigs and broke about 2 ft from the tip on a good hook set. St. Croix mojo are great too, along with the duckett ghosts. End of the day you get what you pay for.

Opinions are like A-HOLES. Everyone got ONE....They do have different weights and lengths those yellow rods.

I mainly fish 2 Duces. I've snapped more Duces than I care to say.. There are lots of good rods out there... It's personnal choice in my opinion.

I'll observe, its not every day you get the opportunity to ride in a triton. L m a o!

i have owned alot of the rods you guys speak of, any rod in the $60- $150 range. And I have only snapped 2 rods in my entire life when it wasnt because of abuse of my equipment. one was a carrot stick and the other was a cheap $50 shimano. I bass fish mostly so my rods see alot of hooksets. dont be a dumbass and your rods wont break. go buy ya a net and quit boat flipping big fish.

BUt for $100 go get a falcon, a duckett, or a skeet. They all last and are all fairly light

What you did there, I see it

Ohhh, I see you mean those other piece of Skeet. I musta snapped Skeets other pieces of Reese. Or were you talking bout a totally different line of big bird colored rods? I'm confused.

I bet you would...

You boys and your Tritons

Lews has a new Inshore series in their American Hero rod line... $60. great rod for the price. There inshore series is built with actions / blanks that are a better fit for trout and reds on lures inshore.

Im pretty sure the op was looking for a mh bass rod.

Temple Fork Outfitters

very very sensitive but I've broke four of them, and broke many eyes on them very easily.

Falcon is a good choice

I believe him. I had a med heavy rod just like that and I was flipping 4-5lb bass in and TONS of big choupique. 8lbs may be pushing it but 4-6lbs is doable surely

You should see how fast he can run offshore in a 6' chop. It's gotta be raining to get wet in his boat

Didn't know Cape Horn had a model called triton!?!?

Count me in if this happens. Never been in a Triton
