Whats the best 7ft+ spinning rod?

[Nico]

I will have to keep up with this on. I want a heaver spinning outfit then the one i have. It's a 6' old Browning The Gold Medalion Graphite Rod model # M32906 Line WT 2-10 lbs. lure WT 1/8-3/8 OZ. It is over 20 years old I gave like $80 for it then it is a blast to catch crappie and gills on and when you hook into that 4 Lbs bass hang on. Thats the biggest thing i have caught on it..

Any chance you still have that Browning Gold Medallion? I would love to buy it from you if you still have it.

Thanks, Nico

All my spinning rods are G. Loomis. A g Loomis bronzeback in 7'4 is a GREAT choice. I have two and love them.

I have a Crucial drop shot rod....7'2 and i love it....very soft tip and enough backbone to get the hook in em....also use them to minnow fish with during the winter and have caught some nice smallies....so theyre definately strong enough....hard to beat for the money and the warranty is the best

I dont have one yet, but I am getting ready to buy a Crucial. I posted a sililar question a while back, most people suggested a Cumera or a Crucial. I went to bass pro while on a family adventure a couple weeks ago and played with both of them. I couldnt see enough of a difference to pay the extra money.

I first started read post on here and thought that most people worked for Shimano. I didnt own anything Shimano either. Then last summer I bought a Sahara spinning reel. I LOVE IT. I see why Shimano is so popular, you may pay a little more for it, but the quality is there and isnt there a old saying about you get what you pay for? Just my 2 cents......GO VOLS

Curious as to why you are looking at a spinning rod for this. Throwing the soft plastic jerkbait I could see. The frog seems to be more of a baitcaster and a heavier rod. The frogs are pretty heavy and throw well, plus you use them in some very weed filled areas. Hauling a good bass out of the weeds seems like a job for a heavier rod.

BassPro Carbonlite is the way to go.

Great rod, but zero warranty.

GET a high end rod and GET it replaced if you ever break it. I blew up a cumara Saturday. Replaced it Monday with a brand spanking new one.....over the counter.

Never buy a cheap rod, even a 50 60 70 dollar rod is "expensive" if you have to pay smack to replace it if you damage, break, or otherwise destroy it.

Andrew I agree the baitcaster rod is the way to go for me. I'm really looking for something that I can let my daughter or lady friends use when we go. I want something with alot of backbone, lightweight and enough tip to allow them to toss the bait. Of course I would use it when they are not around for other small weightless plastics. So it's gotta be something I can add to my arsenal.
