What type of fishing rods do y'all use? I recently purchased 2 H&H rods and that was a mistake. Rods were okay but the owner was a complete ***. Im definitely not going to use them anymore... Whats everybody favorite?

G.loomis?
Waterloo?
Allstar?

[trout-thumper]

I personally like 7 foot poles .. As far as preference .. I like the ones that have a good price and feel good in the hand! I'm not at the 250 dollar rod level just yet! I also like the rods that catch more fish! Those are tough to find! Tight lines and singing drags

I have a 7' Waterloo HP Slam bait caster, 7' Allstar, and a 7' Castaway. My wife has a 7' Waterloo HP Slam spinning rod. I have noticed a great difference in the action of the rods. I recently started using the the Allstar again and can feel a big difference in the action from the Waterloo.

Let's just say when my wife and I head out together for a fishing trip we have over $1000 worth of rods and reels with us; so don't rob us.

Try a couple out in your hand before you buy. I just recently purchased a g loomis green water and seems to me like i finally found what I was looking for.... Light, sensitive, and a lot of back bone.

I have 3 cabelas mag touch. they are light, and cost $100, and often on sale for less.

I see you are local (central tx).  I have a buddy make my rods now.  He does custom/awesome work.  All my casting rods come with micro guides that reduce line slap and increase casting distance.  However I want it, he makes it.  Color, length, action, guides.....  He also custom builds fly rods.  If you are intersted, let me know and I will pass on his info to you.  He is located in Buda.  Not too far from you.

How much are we talking here? How long have you been using his rod and how do they handle the 25-30" reds?

i love my American Rodsmith Apex Titanium w/ split grip...lightweight and nice action...its my gamer! 6'6 is the happy medium for me.

OK.... Don't laugh.... I have a 7' Berkley Ugly-stick with a 20-25 year old Abu 6000 reel that I have been using for years and is my best rig.... It is sensitive enough to feel the slightest flounder bump, yet can handle pulling in a 40" redfish in the surf at Rollover, with light tackle.... It's all about what you like and are comfortable with.....

It all depends on what size of reel you are using and what's the weight of the reel.  I like my reel/rod combo to be lightweight because all I do is throw lures, so I have to throw about 100 cast or so. I use a 7' Falcon GS Medium popper but I also have a lightweight Shimano Sustain 2500.  I also have a cast away 7' medium popper on a Stradic FI 2500 and I can deffinately tell the difference on the weight ratio between the rod and reel.  Just recently bought a Stradic C14 and another Falcon GS and the weight is perfect.  Bottom line Falcon rods are great because they are light, tough, and give ultra sensitive feel for any type of fish.

Bought a castaway Skeleton rod  recently, paired with the reel recommended, was every impressed, can't wait for the Shimano Sustain 3000FG to be available in November ,so I can  paired it with Skeleton reel

There's lots of good rods on the market, but if it's in your budget you can't go wrong with a Waterloo. I've been using them for years, I've put my hands on other customs and they just don't compare, but that's just my opinion..

The best part is you can call them and tell them what type of reel you use, what type of fishing you do, and they'll guide you on which rod is the best  for your application.. They are fishermen so they use the rods they build.

i like 7 footers and penn or any 7 foot rod that is real flexible and a big stock on it with small eyes and baitcast or spinning reels spinning is easy cause you never get backlash but i do like baitcast

[matcoastal]

Get yourself a Falcon Coastal Series rod.  I have two, the wader special spinner and the top water rod.  Good price at Academy $89.00 just watch out for the Chinese made version that are selling for the same price.

I own 5 7 ft. all-star rods with Penn battle 2000's, I use spiderwire easy braid in 15lb test line and are the best setups I've used in along time!
