Going with allstar cause it's good and only $50, will be for reds and trouts. They make so many different ones (crankin stick, costal, top water special ect...)

I was less than impressed with the all stars I saw at academy the last couple times I went. Falcon Coastals are down to $90 now, not a bad deal. My brother bought a Falcon HD yesterday for $70 I liked too.
ETA whatever you get, 7' M/M or M/MF

Get a 7' medium, but I'm with Boats, get you a Falcon HD for $70 and it has a lifetime warranty from Academy. Although you may want to get a MH because the Falcons run a little light.

I'm not sure if they still make it, but they used to have a "shrimp tail special." I liked it more than my loomis greenwater for tight-lining plastics

They still have it, the shrimp rail special was almost all they had there. It's a little light for my tastes but if you're only gonna throw soft plastics on it it's probably a good rod

Right now I have one on a shimano clarus 6'6 m/mf, just bought an e series off eBay. I like the shimano, I just want 7', I may just end up getting that if they still make them.

I did't see any castaway ctx in academy bit I know they have some on their website. If you can find one in 7' M that would be a good one. And they run $50 as well

I just heard about these so I haven't tried them yet, but I definately will soon.
I love their fly rods and these are designed by Gary Loomis.

Yea TFO rods are definitely underrated IMO. I was looking at some of their rods for a finesse setup, but don't want to spend that much. I might end up biting the bullet and just getting one.

So going to the camp this weekend, help me pick out a rod just for inshore work. I know 7fter but cant decide on brand and action.
Posted on 4/10/12 at 1:35 pm to GREENHEAD22
spin or cast?
Posted on 4/10/12 at 1:43 pm to GREENHEAD22
7' Medium. Will do everything, cork, plastics, topwater, and will handle just about anything you catch. As far as brand, what's the budget?
Posted on 4/10/12 at 1:44 pm to Boats n Hose
Spinning and 100 bucks
Posted on 4/10/12 at 2:01 pm to GREENHEAD22
I really would look at the TFO rods in the link that I posted.
They have a 7ft in the Signature Series for $100.
6-12 lbs line

I have to be able to get my hands on it by Friday so basically it has to be available at Academy or BPS.

Falcon Coastal 7' Medium Popper. I have one in casting and they also make it in spinning. I really like it. $90. Should have it at both BPS and Academy.

I use a shrimp tail special 7 footer. It feels light because of the action, but I've caught 20+ lbs. big reds off shallow/short rigs with it. It's a great rod for the money IMO.
ETA: I have a curado on it as a matter of fact.
