Bass Sticks

[rob_med]

I currently own a varity of Loomis and Croix rods that I am happy with. But I am in the market for A few new sticks. I have noticed A fair number of other manufacturers selling rods in that $100-$250. Can I get some opinions as to cost, quality, and value of other brands. Maybe I have got the right stuff now, but all of my serious fishing partnes are running the same so I am having a issue getting feedback from people using something else.

And if it matters, Iam a multi-species angler (when I am not Bassfishing)!

Rods you could check out:

-Shimano cumara more light weight and sensitive

-Dobyns champion light and very well balanced rods (hear rave reviews)

I went from avids and elites to mostly cumaras, and I trying a dobyns champion frog/jigging rod this year with high expectations.

I picked up some Denali Rods this winter. I really like the Rosewood Matrix series. I think for the money they are a good buy. They have better guides and a hardwood foregrip.
