Wife asked me to make a list of fishin stuff I wanted for next season. Thinking of upgrading some rods this year. So used to the common Ugly Stik and the dependability. Anybody have some recommendations of a decent rod a little more upscale? I typically use a senko Texas style. Love my bait caster reels too. Looking for a good rod less than or around $100. Also does the fast tip or extra fast tip really make a huge difference?
Ive got a few of the shimano convergence, They are only $49.99 and you get a lifetime warranty. Not to mention that they are a very nice rod!!!!!! And my favorite I have!!
Honestly your best result would come from going to a store that carries plenty of fishing equipment and giving a few different rods a try yourself. Everyone has different things they look for in a rod and only you know what you want. Many brands and styles of quality rods can be had for right around your price range. I have some Allstars, Team Daiwas, XPS, Shimanos, and a few others and each is for a specific application and most were right around or under $100. Good luck and let us know what you go with.
Abu Garcia Veritas, best 100$ rod hands down. Super light and sensitive.
The Abu Vendetta is a nice rod as well, and if you look around you can find them new or lighty used for $50. I have two of the 7' MH and they are good ones for the price. Also, gotta agree with Burt. Shimano rods are among the best and have the best warranty.
check out the falcon bucoo rods. they cost around 99.00-100.00 but are well worth the money. very sensitive, hold up well, and are light.

x3, Viertas rules!
I have 6 Skeet Rods $89&$99 you could not go wrong.They are very light and strong with any action.
VERITAS ABU GARCIA 100$ in stores $68 amazon.com free shipping and got Lews speed reel baitcaster for $70 and they are $100 and over
Amazon prices have been they best!
veritas is a great rod. very strong and sensitive. another option may be the new shimano compre. the rod is $109 i think, but for 10 extra bucks, your gettin a lot of quality for a great price!
I like the veritas to. I have a spinning rod and a casting rod like them both great rid for the money. I also like my kistler mag. Rod its a little more expensive but awsome rod. These are my two favorite rods can't go wrong wither either one.
