    A-rig rod

    I'm looking for a 7'6"-8' A-rig rod, needs to be heavy action. $100-$125 range. Any recommendations?

    Dobyns Fury swimbait rod,, think they list for 140.00 but usually you can find a discount on them and that should get you close on your price point

    Not sure if the action has changed much if any over the past 10+ years but I have a heavy action Abu Vendetta that's a 7' 6" and fairly moderate action. Works great for slinging the "contraption" and all I use that rod for now. Worth looking into anyway.

    I - Rod A-Rig Special has treated me well, you can sling it like a crankbait if you don-t use heavier than 1/8th oz heads. A little expensive at $150 but if it goes on sale I'd recommend it for your $ range. That, and 50lb braid throws an A-Rig very well.
