Looking to get a new rod
Posted on 8/14/13 at 11:15 am

I'm looking for a good speck/red rod, 7ft or 7.6ft medium action. I saw some Waterloo Rods at academy, but don't know much about them. Any suggestions?

Falcon Coastal

I'm in the process of making a custom rod right now, but taking my time on it. I bought two reels recently and need rods for them for this weekend. So I was looking to get one at a store. I had a 7.6 falcon coastal and loved it and may go back with that. But was looking for other suggestions as well. GLoomis is a bit too pricey, and I wanted to look at the st croixs as well

Falcon coastals are damn good rods.

I'm telling you dude,everybody going to suggest what they have. Some ar eold as shite and really don't know what they're missing with some of the new rods coming out now.
My favorite right now is the Abu Garcia Veritas microguide rod.Thing is a freaking beast on the Causeway hauling up those big trout.
In depth review.

I've looked at the veritas, I'm not sure I like the small foregrip. I'll be putting a spin reel on it, and it doesn't seem like that grip would be very comfortable. If it was for my curado then I think it would work well
Btw those are some really nice specks

Well,I was thinking you were looking for a Casting rod. Sorry.
And I do have a Curado on mine and it's light as a feather.
For spinning,have you looked at the Castaway Skeletons?
Those things are nice for spinning.
LINK$159.00
Also check out the Castaway Microwave spinning rods.

I have some veritas spinning rods. They're great bang for the buck.

Friend of mine builds really nice custom rods. Geauxrods.com
He can make it any way you want. Can even use the microwave guides if you want them.
