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/

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 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

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.
