Bass fishing rods - What you got?

Doing a little window shopping, trying to get a list of rods and reels to save up for. I think I might end up going with the Lews reels, now looking at rods. Trying to stay around $100, and have found the Kistler Carbon Steel, Falcon BuCoo, and St. Croix Mojo Bass to be in that price point.
I dont know my head from my arse on this so ill just sit back and listen.

Falcon HD only 80$ I love mine, I also have a fenwick silver eagle I think it's called, also a nice rod that's normally 100$ got it on sale for 40$

Falcon HD and BPS Carbon Lite both get a thumbs up from me. If you can catch Academy on a Rod Riot Sale, you can get the Falcon HD for $50 if they still carry them.

I use te falcon HD the most out of all my rods, I have the H2O express metal reel on it. Best thing is that it it breaks, academy gives you another one, got it on sale for 30 bucks during Christmas time normally 50

Don't bass fish but I really like the Shimano Crucial and Cabelas XML. don't know if they're considered 'bass'

Don't bass fish, but if I did I'd get a kajun limb punching rod.

Looks like Falcon HD is getting great reviews at a damn good price. I wonder how it holds against the BuCoo for $40 more?
Whats the word on the full cork vs. split grip? All I have is a split grip All Star, is it just personal preference?
JAB, how much do those Kajun Limbs run?

If you're alright with exceeding the $100 mark...go with a Powell Max 701 Spinning (great for shaking a worm) or a Max 704 CB for cranking. Working an A-rig or punching, go for a Endurance 775.

I like the Skeet Reese rods, you can usually catch them on ebay buy one get one with a minimum of 4.

7'H-Fast w/ PP braid for frog (probabaly going with 7:1 Lews Superduty reel)
7' MH-Fast for spinnerbaits, soft plastics, etc.
6'6 M Spinning setup (Shimano Sedona 2500 reel) - finesse

Man if you can swing it, try out a Shimano Cumara or Crucial.
I sleep with my Cumara, it gives me funny pants feelings, and I'm not ashamed of it.

I have an All Star now, which I really like. I dont think its the top of the line model (it was like 60 or 70 bucks). But from what I can tell its done a pretty good job at everything.
If I go with the Kistler, I can get a discount card for each order, but have read mixed reviews on their lower end models. Im gonna run by Academy and check out those Falcons, they look like a winner for sure.

I'm a big fan of St. Croix rods... The avid series which I'm not even sure they make any longer are superb...

That Ronco is a deal but I dont want to mess with a rod that has to be sighted in.

I fish nearly exclusively with Kistler rods. Their steel series is a good solid rod with lots of backbone and the tips are as advertised. They carry a lifetime warranty on their rods. I also have a helium and a magnesium series from them and the Magnesium is very sensitive yet strong.
