Trout/Redfish Rod Suggestions
Posted on 7/29/11 at 9:13 am
Posted on 7/29/11 at 9:13 am
In the market for a new trout/redfish rod. I've got a custom Loomis that's awesome, but for that price, one's enough. I've mainly used All Star rods (which is what I'm replacing, it's about 12 years old) but I don't have any info on the new ones. Looking to stay in the $100-$150 range. Any suggestions?
Preferably something they stock at Bass Pro because I've got lots of gift cards there right now.

Love mine.
I also have a Dobyns Saavy that is the shite, but if you're looking for a spinning rod their selection isn't the best.

Shimano has the best drag system on any of their reels for trout/redfish.
All Star has some good mid grade 7' for 100.00

I've been wondering this same thing. I'm not a big fan, but it seems to be getting popular.

supposed to be for balance and whip casting?

Not sure if you asking, but that's my assumption. I can't tell a difference.

Drag is not important on trout and reds, IMO. Okuma is the best bang for the buck.

So when I am using 10# test and a bull red hits my trout set up drag isn't important? I have shimano calcutta and am able to land bull reds on light line which is better than being broken off and losing baits IMO.
OP like others said Falcon rods are good and calcuuttas are very good reels.
