Best rod under $100 - opinions needed

[Bill Boyer]

I really like the skeet Reese rods I have 2 of them and 2 more on the way. There about the lightest rods I can find I use the honeycomb rods with micro guides not tried the others he has out. There 99 at bass pro

We carry them at $79.99 and agree they are nice rods for the money

Only if you have a receipt......they recently changed that and it *****..........I have 8 cumara rods, and purchased 2 of them from BPS......I broke one, and could not find a receipt. Luckily, they could look it up.

So, without a receipt, you are out of luck.

Later,

Just got a St. Croix bass mojo ---- I was only able to try it out at a farm pond for a few minutes. It really seems to be a nice rod for $100, however I own both the veritas and the bass mojo and I don't know if I could easily pick between the two of them. ---- now if you will excuse me, I have to get this rod back in the cardboard tube and fix the wrapping paper before my wife and kids wake up. .....

bass, striper/hybrids = BPS Bionic (normally $80, when on sale $60)

catfish = Ugly Stik or Tangling With Catfish ( $35-$80)

panfish = Fenwick Eagle GT ($50)

I just bought a 7 foot 6 ugly stick casting rod. It is split grip med-heavy and fifty bucks. It is an awesome rod. The tip is light enough i could crappie fish with it but the backbone is strong enough i landed two muskies this last sunday. Awesome casting rod and the one i have is compatible with openface reels.

I like the XPS Extreme Rods for spinnerbaits/crankbaits/topwater and the Abu Garcia Veritas rods for pitching and flipping. I have one all star rod that I use for carolina rig but it feels as heavy as a rock compared to the veritas...might sell that one and pick up a 7'3" veritas medium heavy.

My club. Central Kentucky Bassmasters have a deal with Dobyns Rods. If you are a member of the club ( We are accepting new members for next year) I can get you a certificate for 40% off. You will not find a better rod for around 80 bucks.

What did you decide.

I had the pleasure of both of having to have repairs done on BOTH heat pumps! So I decided I will wait until next year to get some new rods.

But just so you know so far my favorite 2 rods for under $100 are the following (these are current prices on bass pro)

St Croix mojo bass ($99.99) <----- St Croix has a great deal going right now- buy 2 or more rods totaling $230, and they will send you a St Croix rage rod (all you have to do is pay for the shipping $19.99 . You can see the offer on bass pro.

Element 21 Carrot Stix ($99.99)
