Hoping Black Friday brings a deal, but need a Christmas gift for my boys. They have the lighter weight rods taken care of, but need a worm rod for fishing heavy weed cover. Would like a 6'6" MH with a softer tip that could some day become their dock skipping rod or the like but today can be used as their multi-purpose bass rod. Would prefer under $150 or even better under $100, but I don't want to buy a throw away and instead would invest in something for the more long term.
Things I have found in that price range and weight (sorted by most expensive first):
Abu REVO Ike Spinning
St Croix Premier
St Croix Mojo Bass
BPS Johnny Morris
Shimano Teramar
13 Fishing Omen Green 2
BPS Pro Qualifier 2
Ducket Silverado
Fenwick HMG
Falcon BuCoo
St Croix Triumph
BPS Bionic Blade
Shimano Clarus
Abu Vendetta
Fenwick HMX
If they need other actions or lengths they can surely use my rods, but want something manageable for them now. All of my sticks are longer. If none of the above are worth keeping long term, feel free to say I am looking for a Unicorn. I have no experience with any of those...
Thank you!
