Decisions on a new rod

[hanson]

Hanson, wouldnt bother me to get rid of it just for I tend to prefer baitcasters....but for a spinner its a good setup. But your right that rod is nice.

Baitcaster guy myself, I understand.

I picked up a few Safari "Channel" rods and they sure are nice. I put 6500 Garcias with 15lb Big Game on them. Sweet little rigs for circle hooking channel cats.

The E-Cats are back, great rods.

Big Jim Moyer has his "Boss" Rod line....very very nice...both run about $80 depending on the model/action.

A quick Google search will clue you in on where to find them.

I have a Boss rod and I like it very much. Yes a few more dollars but, a quality rod at that. I also have an E-Cat and that too is a great rod.

Don't really want to compound your decision Jeff but I have 2 Tiger 7' Medium casting models that I'm looking to get rid of. They've been used like 4 or 5 times, just sit in the fishing room now.

Appreciate it but I'm just looking to upgrade my spinning rod right now but I will let you know if I decide to ditch the Ugly Stick casting rod.

I decided on the Ugly Stick Tiger rod for my ABF-50 for next year Flathead adventures. I love how sturdy it is and how it comes in MH action in the 7' version. Now I just need to find one.

Thanks for the input guys.

hard to beat the surge rods and the berkley glowsticks, great action.the tiger rods for the money are hard to beat, used to catch a bunch of 40's and 50's on the tigers including a 52lb flathead. loved them but found new rods like the surge, still miss my old tigers though.

Speaking of rods does anyone here have/checked out a tangling with catfish rod? I read about in another forum and it looks like a decent rod. It's a MH 7'6" E-glass blank with stainless steal eyes(8+tip), cork handle and can sling up to 12oz and is about the same price as Surge ($65+shipping) any thoughts ?
