crankbait rod

[publican57]

I like BPS rods; but they do not have lifetime warranty that you get with Shimano. A new Shimano of course would cost twice as much as a BPS rod. An of course the best rod in my opinion would be GLoomis which would cost 4-5 times as much as BPS rod. They all catch fish. But if you fish a lot; I would upgrade. If you fish a little, go with BPS.

If gloomis is hands down the best most senstive greatest warranty rod why dont the guys fishing for half million bucks use them.please dont respond endorsment cause beside kvd aint none of em getting 1/2million dollar sponser dollars.just always wondered.

The same reason you dont see them using shimano. Shim/loomis doesnt hand their products to them and pay em to use em. They let their quality stand for itself and still have the clientele to sell their product without a pro saying this is what i use. Am i saying they make the absolute best products, no, but theyre of a higher quality than bps products

Skeet Reese got over 600K from endorsments. So yeah there is something to it. His rods are junk but enough about that. For crankin I love a glass rod.

We will just have to agree to disagree i guess.i think its marketing 101.i gotta believe clunn knows what he is talking bout.he didnt run any rod down i think he mentioned marketing and overpriced.as far as anglers fianances i dont know as nobody outside industry probaly does but i think his quote was kvd and select few getting rich,others had money to begin with,others couldnt buy a boat if they had too.

Rick clunn has his name inked all over some wright and mcgill rods. Of course hes not going to promote another company

he didnt in 2010.he also said a rod that feels good to you,and you like it and catch a few fish with it is the best rod.i think he is right.

I can agree with that. Everybody has a different feel and certain rods and reels will feel better to each of us. For what its worth i think the bps cranking rods are well worth the money. I have a 7'11 cumara and if i had it to do over would have gone with a bps and saved money. Crankbait fishing doesnt require as much feel and the soft tip to keep fish hooked up is really the only important thing
