I really enjoyed these rods last year. I have crucials, Zodias, Compres, and I consistently found myself picking these up. Nice price, nice feel and readily available in many local shops.

When you can get the Duckett Ghost on sale for 79 or so give one a try. Only thing is I wish there was a model with a shorter handle for jerkbaits etc.
Carbon lite. Best thing about them is; if you break one, bring it back to BPS with the receipt and get a new one. No questions asked
I've tried about all of them in that price range. Dobyns fury and Falcon bucco are some of the best all purpose rods in that price range. Fenwick HMG may even be a step above those for $99. The Ethos are fine for moving baits but aren't that sensitive to me. Same goes for the tatulas, lightning rods and ducketts.
thx guys for your input. ive been using 2 carbonlites and skeet reese rods which I like but had no idea how they compare. Your expertise is appreciated
Dobyns......better warranty and better balence
2003 Stroker with 2014 SHO
2012 21RDC Bullet with 2016 SHO
Denali Fission series for $89.99 or for $119.99 the Denali Attax series. All great rods.
Try the Dobyns fury or even the new colt series. You will be surprised at how good
both lines actually are and well within the price range you are looking.
I’ve had great success with St Croix.
Falcon, JC or SR for less than $100. You can find ScIII mojo’s for $100. Fury is a good one too.
Resurrected 1989 Bass Tracker Tournament V/Johnson 50hp/Helix 9 Mega SI/Helix 7 DI
You would be amazed the line up that Ugly Stik has, at $39.99 each. 5' to 7.5", casting, spinning, foam, cork, ultra light to heavy.......but............they weigh a couple more ounces then a $300 rod. Most bass guys can't handle that.
Berkley has the same thing. $29-$89. But no cool enough.
I have 3 of the old carbonlite rods and I love them. Checked out the new one now tonight I will be getting two more at the sale price
Take a look at " http://www.denalirods.com/fission.aspx "
I hope to be able to pick up one of the BPS carbonlite combo's tomorrow.
Guys are talking about "skipping" baits ? You guys are acheiving this with a 7'6" rod? Wow and heavy? Double wow..
I have a straight 6' medium Veritas with a lews 5:1 reel . Thats all I use it for is skipping docks and pockets .
How are you guys standing on the bow and side skipping a 7'6" heavy rod? Even Aaron Martin's uses a 6' medium and sometimes a 6' spincast.. am I missing something here?
