have u played with the new split-grip models? they are extremely light and that reel seat is skeletonized.. pretty small compared to some others out there. i love that new crucial rod! but bang for the buck, mcjared's right about the clarus.

That is the one's im talking about.....they are nice I just don't like the integrated reel seat built into the rear grip. Makes the rear grip too bulky for my taste.

Cumara with Core, or Waterloo with Chronarch are my choice of weapons...got more but thats my go toos.....I dont ever put those two down regardless.....You get what you pay for....I havent thrown any of the other brands except for ASR and Stickems.....So I cant comment on any body elses choice of weapon......Spend the money up front...If it means waiting a week or two etcc..wait...get what you want, dont settle for something less than what you realy want....

You can get the Stick'Em rod and Outcast Baitcasting Reel for $240.00. It makes for a great combo and not to expensive. I got this combo a few months back and love it. If you want a spinning combo you can get a Stick'Em Spinning rod with the Outcast 3000 Series Spinning Reel for about $160.00. Both are great setups for their price point.

Listen to the elders. They know all things. Check out the stickem combos. Their awesome. I think the bait caster is the only one with 12 bearings. Very smooth.

Shimano = best warranty hands down

However my favorite combo right now is a pfluger patriarch on a bucoo

with a 200e7 Curado on a crucial coming in second

Fished one time so far with my new Lews tournament speed and it seems really nice.

plus last year I bought a few shimano reels and fished a tournament with em, the guy I was fishing with told me if I didn't like them, not to return them to the store, he would give me my money back for them.

O....and ugly stick you never have to worry about needing a warranty b/c they r unbreakable...and the abu you never have to worry about finding cheap parts due to all of them falling apart early in their lifespan.

The latter is just a tip from a well known source: " "
