i have only had mine a couple of weeks and really like. I had s carrot stick and it blew...for so far so go
Been using them for two years now. Bought a couple the first year to feel them out. Loved 'em enough to replace all my rods with them.
I only have one, the magnum cranking stick. I like it.
I have one, a worm/jig rod, so far it's okay. Nothing spectacular, a fishing rod is pretty much a fishing rod.

Of course I talk to myself...sometimes I need expert advice.
I have flippin pitchin rod and its great! I also use it for deep crankbaits and actually like it better for that. The rods have a ton of guides which give it great distance on casts.
There are three types of people in this world, those who can count and those who can't!
I have the Flippin stick with micro guides. I was using 65# braid and it seemed like the line didn't go throught the guides that well. I switched to 50 and love it.

Life is made up of years that mean nothing, and moments that mean it all!!!!!!!!
I have a couple and very pleased with them
I have two. I forget the names ... Fluke/worm and jig/spinner, something like that. Anyway they are the small diameter limber ones.
I like em allot but when I change to the AG Veritas M and MH I have a problem getting the lure back on target.
The SR is springy, very easy to throw. The Veritas both are stiff and takes more arm. I get aggravated when I short shot for a few throws.
I have no problem when I change to the AG Vendetta's. They are M. More like regular all around good rods, IMO

Life is kinda hard but it's
better than the other options .. er ..option !
That is all I use now and love em cant beat the price and a lifetime warranty.....My only complaint is on the 7'2" micro guide jig/worm rod that the tip has a tendenacy (sp) to break off at the 4th guide down. However I do put it through its paces skipping a 1/2 oz football jig on it and I think that is why it breaks with me.....Had them for 2 years and broke 4.....They replaced them with no hassle at all. I think where I load it up so hard and so much to skip docks it just gives way.....Other than that I have no complaints with them. Not the lightest in the world but I like a lil bit heavier rod my self.....With the really light rods I feel I dont get as much inertia and momentum on the hook set as I do with the heavier rod to drive it home good.

If you can swing it, get the Ducketts. Not saying the Skeet's are bad rods, just that the Ducketts are a better value for the money.
I had a jig/worm and a c-rig/swimbait. I ended up selling them b/c they were about as sensative as a broomstick. I did however buy the 7' crankbait rod and love it. You should take a look at the new shimano clarus and compre. Their more sensative than the skeet's and have an over the counter lifetime warranty.

Just curious as to why they are a better value for the money at almost double the price? Not being a smart arse just curious?
They may have fixed them by now, but when they first came out with the microguide rods they used the really terrible Batson tips with no braces at all. Every one of those I ever used ended up failing, since they donÂt have any braces they constantly get bent especially when you hook your bait in the hook keeper and reel the line down tight. After they get bent and straightened a few times they either have the ring pop out or the frame breaks. It is easy to tell if they have improved the tip, just look for braces between the frame and the tube.
I just feel they are a better rod. I've had both. I have a slough of Loomis' as well and the Ducketts are as good of quality JIG AND WORM rod as my IMXs are. Also I feel they are a much lighter rod and balanced better than the W&M rods. That's just my .02. I'm not a fan of the W&M rods.
Interesting. I will have to compare them when I go to Bass Pro next week. Thanks!
