halo rods

[swimjigboy]

I picked up the halo twight 7'6" Med Heavy at Dixie Marine, in cincy area it felt nice. $139 bucks good warrenty. Felt alittle heavy compared to veritas and wild black carrot stick. Felt like the skeet reese heavy cover but it's only 9o bucks. Like the visual look in hand, the red handle is super nice.
But with big sale coming this weekend at BPS and the deals going, I'm going to say no to halo this yr.

I ended up buying powell diesels,and they are sweet for 69 dollars.

Yep that's why they're cheap....Disposable rods

I called Halo & talked to them, but ended up staying with Shimano for my two main rods simply because I got a pretty good deal & nobody beats their warranty. I will however pick one up to try this summer as I really don't think breakage will be an issue myself. The local store here said they were the best seller he'd had in a long time & this place sells a lot of gear.

les,send me a pm and i tell you what i know.seems like lots of opinions here haha.awful lot of rods on the market for shimano to have the greatest rod ever,you would thonk everbody would have all shimano.lol,

I dont break rods either,take care of my equipment.there is a article with kvd where here talks about rods breakin and pretty sure the word mis use is in there more than once.i have to buy what works for me and after reading many reviews without a single bad one and reading the owner of powell explain the no warranty concept i bought 3.and after recieving them and fishin with them im glad i bought em,gonna buy more.the rod warranty is just like car insurance,we have to pay more for ours because of others carelessness.

I'll definitley be trying one this summer. I did buy my 2 new Shimano Clarus rods for $145.00 shipped to my door & actually had someone quote them just a tad cheaper, but I would have had to drive over an hour to pick them up. I'm not knocking your rods at all, but just feel better having the warranty & only buy rods nowadays with lifetime warranty after a buddy accidently stepped on my favorite flipping stick that I've ever owned. I like Dobyns,Powells, Denali & Shimano. I even like Loomis, but i'm not about to pay what they cost as I absolutley do not think they're worth it. It would be my luck that with no warranty mine would get broken & I just feel better having one as I have broken several rods in the past. Not dissing you rod brand at all. Lots have told me about the Diesel series of rods & they all loved them from the way they talked.

Les I agree whole hearted,shimano makes a real nice rod as do many others.gotta go with what works for each person.some of these rods are outta my price range and too many good 100 rods.

I simply will not break the bank to fish. I try to spend less than $100.00 per rod which is why I bought 2 of the Shimano Clarus rods for $145.00 to my door & I've fished them for several years with very good luck. I also fish Diawa Excellors, Bass Pro Shops Extremes or Pro Qualifier reels mostly. I like the feel of the Halos & also like the Diesel series & another in the same price range I like is the Denali Jadewood rods although just a little higher than the other two. I have faith in my Shimanos as well,but will probably buy one of each of the 3 series mentioned to fish this summer & then sell the ones that I don't like as much. Fishing is very expensive nowadays & if I have to break the bank a little bit it will be on boat gas. Although not completely 100%voluntarily lol
