Saltwater inshore Fishing Rods?

[mcjaredsandwich]

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?
