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.

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)

Oddly, I really like my Wright McGill Skeet Signature Series cranking Rod. It is usually sold for about $89.00. I have GLoomis, St Croix, and Aubu Rods but really like the 7' cranking Rod with Shimano Curado Reel. My second favorite is my Loomis Shakey Head Spinning Rod. I can always count on it when fishing is stingy.
