Best all around rod under $100
 
What is the best all around fishing rod for specs reds and flounders under $100?

PaulMyers 06-15-2012 03:02 PM

StickEm rods at The Tackle Box in Sulphur or Shimano rods at Lake Charles Tackle.

Falcon Bucoo

LifeTyme007 06-15-2012 03:06 PM

What about the falcon coastal (medium popper) rods? Does anyone have one and what are the pros and cons? Thanks!

I was at Academy this week and swore I saw some All Star Rods for $49, going back this evening to see for sure

I bought a CCA rod at Academy. 6'9" one of the best rods I have ever fished with for specks and reds. It has some kind of motto that goes with the rod. Somethig like see red, think blue. $49.99 The rod is black with a bunch of guides.

IMO, since being bought out by berkley the All Star rods are junk..... Terrible warranty on them too..... That "lifetime" warranty is BS...

Aha, I wasn't aware of that. I had 2 a long time ago that the tip broke off all the time and would just have to pay shipping to get a new one. Thanks for that info, I may avoid that and spend that $50 on something else:)

I got a Daiwa AIRD a couple of months ago and really liked it. It felt like a BuCoo but cost $50. It's at the bottom of West Cove if anybody wants to try it.

huntin fool 06-15-2012 07:35 PM

Stick ems are hard to beat. Good rod, and easy for the pocket book

Top Dawg 06-15-2012 07:39 PM

Shimano Claris. Lifetime over the counter warranty.

I've got one 7' med. it's been catching for about 12yrs now.

PUREBAY2200 06-15-2012 08:00 PM

Falcon bucoo is nice I got 2. A medium and a heavy.

The falcon costal is also nice; but I've seen em priced above 100$.
On sale @ academy 79-89$ sometimes.
I have a 6-6 light action and a 7-6 spinning medium action for poppin corks. I can launch a bait with that rod! Caught dink trout and 30 lb reds. It's a good rod.

I'd like to try a stick em..... But ain't been over to the west side lately to look at one.

trophytroutman 06-15-2012 08:17 PM

Stick 'em

I make oil 06-16-2012 12:48 AM

Have a few Bucoo's nice rods. My wife fishes with one and caught a 60# Drum on it. Tough rods.

Hopedale Hustler 06-16-2012 12:53 AM

Castaway skeletons and shimmano have an amazing warranty but skaespere graphite sticks are a winner

dmtfish 06-16-2012 02:19 PM

What dealers carry the stick em rods?? I checked out their website, but would like to check them out before buying one online.

SGib 06-16-2012 02:34 PM

Simon outfitters in orange tx.

Tomball Tiger 06-16-2012 03:40 PM

Stick 'Em-local Tx guy, and best Customer service on planet. You have a issue, you talk to the Owner.......not unlike owning a BlackJack boat

Falcon Coastal: bought a 7'6 and a 7' like em both alot

I have a whole selection at my house. I can meet you in Jennings one day and let you check Em out. In Louisiana you guys can check out stick Em rods at the tackle box in sulphur and Kajun fast mart. You can buy straight from me if you like.

Spend a few extra bucks & get the Helium filled!:birthday::grinpimp:

I appreciate the offer longcast! Been making frequent trips to LC (moving to the area) so i'll just check out Cajun Fast Mart or The Tackle Box. Thanks!
