Looking for a new rod

[410001661]

I am now officially looking forward to spring (I will even try to get in some fishing in between turkey hunting). In anycase I am looking for a new medium action (M to ML) spinning rod and was curious who gives the best value for the $$. At the present time I have a Diawa Terra Nova c/w a Sidestab 2500 reel and a Ugly Stick UL c/w a Pfulger President UL reel, and am looking for a second M to ML rod to accomodate my Sienna 2500 reel. I am going to pick one up at either the fishing show or the sportsman show. I have been looking at the following:

- Berkley Tactix
- Fenwick GT
- Shimano Convergerance
- or another Terra Nova

It would be used for primarily bass, walleye, and pike.

........any suggestions......would any one brand offer more value than another??

i really like the fenwick GT,
i used to own one until i hit a wave and 3 rods flew out of my boat!
but ya its a really good rod in my opinion.. and i used it fer bass, and trollin fer pike!
i actually am going to be buying another one
i really liked it

check out the shimano compre. for the price its really good...there strong and really sensitive and they have a lifetime warranty... its hard to say anything bad about that rod.

I'd have to say check out the shimano scimitar............excellent rod for the price!

Check out the St.Croix Mojo Bass rods, new this year and look awesome, I will be picking one up for my Quantam PT Baitcaster. For $129.99 cdn, they are awesome for the money! I have St.Croix rods and they are simply the best, I have Avids, Premiers, Wild River Salmon/Steelhead rods and the ice rods. Soon to call my rod locker a home will be the 7'11" Heavy Flippin' Mojo Bass rod.

Definatly worth checkin out!

prpbably not everyones choice,but i have a 10ft okuma celios rod, amazing, can pull in the biggest fish you can think or and can take a beating, used it at bronte, niagara and every other river this past year no complaints, they range around the $70 mark

I have two Premier MF and MLF one piece St. Croix rods with Pleuger President and Shimano Stradic reels. These work best for me and have found great deals on them driving thru Michigan at Dick's sports of all places. I can use the St. Croix for walleye, jigging, trolling, even with a dipsy diver with no problems hauling in huge bass and pike too. I've had/still have Fenwick HMG, Golden Wing, Shimano and various knock off IM7 rods and none compare to the versatility and value of my St. Croixs.

St. Croix Avid is an excellent choice.
