All Star ASR
 

Just bought a 6'6" All Star ASR medium heavy wormin rod off eBay for $80 with shipping. Any of u guys have used these yet? I always use all stars and liked this one. Wanted to get a carrot stick but everyone said not to, figured this would be pretty close to one.

Want me to bake you a carrot cake?

If this clown makes it to 10 posts...the mods are sleepin'.

a carrot stick would def last u. cause u only make like 10 casts a trip anyway!

never used either, but i hear those new Skeet Reese poles are supposed to be pretty darn good for only 90 bucks i think. And they are yellow!

LOL...i agree salty....He must be a cake baker by trade! :spineyes::spineyes:

Good pass on the carrot stick...i had one...tip broke...and got a cumara to replace it. It would cast my topwaters a country mile though... very uncomfortable in my hand and evidently not very durable. Had a "petey" trout snap the tip. OF all the rods I've been through...I really like the response and feel of the Falcon Cara T7 rods.

Yeh looked at a Cara last night at Academy. Just couldn't bring myself to spend the 200 bones on it. So I bought a castaway saltwater medium for $69 I just bought a new curado 200e7 off eBay for $146 free shipping 2 days ago. I have all the older model curados. What do yall think about it?

I think those castaway rods are the best bang for you buck. I have 2 curado e7 using it in saltwater over a year now and no problems at all. The only thing I do is wipe them down and oil every 5 trips or so.

Another good rod for the price ($50 plus tax) is the American Rodsmiths Apex split grip rods. I own several of them without any issues!

Yeh I looked at a few of them at Academy. Didn't see any I really liked though. Maybe I'll try one out next time. I don't know if any of them were the one u talkin about.

If Jake and Cory still have some, you can get a Falcon Cenderi ti for $100. Titanium guides on a Cara blank....$280 rod. Last I checked, they only had the lites left but I got some of 'em and they're great rods. Give 'em a call (918) 251-0020 and tell 'em Salty sent ya.

Will do! Thanks!

i bought one of these cenderis a lil over a year ago, sence them i have bought prolly 8 of them they are my favorite jig rod very light , well balanced and super sensitive if they have any left i would jump on it if i were you

U think they open right now?

Nevermind just called they close at 5. Where this place located?

Where else......Broken Arrow, OK. :rolleyes:

I'll call Cody in a little bit and check for ya.

Haha yeh let me know. I'll def take one.

anybody got one of the new abu garcia vendettas?

The vendetta is a light mofo with that comfortable Fuji ACS grip, but it has one major flaw......no Fuji guides :(

Was going to buy one the day they came out. Was steered away to a St.Croix Mojo bass (same price) and im pretty sure this was a wayyyyy better deal! 5 year warranty tooo :)

yeaa good lookin rod but ima stay away from it..going to a guy in the morning that makes custom rods on g loomis blanks pick out your own eyes and reel seet and colors they start at 100.00 and go up to how ever much your pocket holds!

I grew up bass fishing with my dad and all we used was all star rods. They use to be alot better back then,there made in china now like most rods. Never used the ASR but it seems to be a decent rod. I mostly use my billystix now,can't put it down I need several more. :D

I just bought the Falcon Bu Coo rod and love it so far, super light. I would like to have a box full of these but I do like the All Star Rod that I have been using

Falcon like Shimano has the lifetime warranty..replace in store..Castaway and AR= pay for shipping to send rod back then they assess the rod and let you know if they'll replace it.

I'm not sure about Falcon's in-store warranty. Jake told me a while back that they've taken a lickin' through the years from fraudelent claims so you might have to send it directly to them for replacement. I ain't totally sure about that, tho.

I was able to a few months ago...but might have changed.

you have to send it back to falcon . if it a legit claim ie. breaking the tip on a fish not in a car door (cuz they can tell) they will take care of you . example i have 2 guides gettin some rust on em they asked me do you wash your rods down after saltwater fishing , i told the the truth , i mist em down but i dont scrub em and im very quick about it, so cody is sending me new guides to put on the whole rod in stead of shippeng the entire rod back and forth.

Them's good ole boys at Falcon. They're just tryin' to earn a livin', but, at the same time, build a quality product. I've used Falcon for years and only broke one (my fault). They've been screwed by people breakin' a rod over their knee and takin' it to the "big box" stores for replacement. Like Pox said, if it's legit, they will take care of you...no matter how old the rod is. Jake told me the #1 reason they hear is, "I set the hook and it just snapped"! A fish, any fish, is not going to break a Falcon......unless.....the rod had been stepped on or pinched prior to that.

I see...musta got lucky then...I had hairline stress from wearing my rod out..and it gave way... crap happens...It went through more hours of fishing than any of my other rods. But i definitely love the Falcons..
