Selecting the Right Rod


Guest

Recommended Posts

I got a look at some Shakespeare rods this morning. Not bad. The Black Ice series looks decent. The 30-inch medium action was only $10 and for that price you are getting a really good rod. There was also a light action along with a few others to choose from, all were the same price.

Another option for those on a tight budget.


Good Fishin,
Matt

I can't forget mentioning custom rod options. And in particular rods made by Rods by Engel.

By the way folks, Rod, he is the Dad of our very own fellow FM regular & contributor, Scoot.

Rod has made me custom ice rods and some special use summer rods from time to time. Fine work at a very reasonable rate.

I cherish them all, every one a real joy to use. A very well made product from start to finish. He can make what you need to order, just the way you want it.

Does anyone use the angled handle jigging rods? I mostly use South Bend and just bought a couple XXX XXX ultra lites this year cant wait to try them out.
For reels I use South Bend and Daiwa.
Not the most expensive set ups but they catch em and thats what counts.

Im with Eddy on this one. Rod does a great job with his rods. Nice craftsmanship and its just the way ya asked for it when it arrives. Nicely priced too. I have Genz rods and the ones with the bigger eyes are nice. Dont buy older ones with small eyes that still may be on somebodys shelves. I also like St.Croixs rods. Nice and light and great actions. Anyone seen the new Rapala ice rods? I would like to check them out. I really like their new open water rods!
