I've used Falcon, Dobyns, Kistler, Daiwa, and others and for the price range you're looking at, I'm an "other" for TFO rods particularly the Gary Loomis Tactical Series Bass Rods. The rods are GREAT and the guides are FANTASTIC!!! "GTS rods are topped with TFOs proprietary Tactical Series guides, machined stainless steel inserts are super-hard chrome anodized then swaged into a chromium-impregnated stainless frame. What does this all mean? Super hard, super slick, saltwater safe and no more lost fishing time due to lost inserts...and theyre 30% lighter than standard SiC guides." I have been going to this line only for a while now. I have some signature and some tactical, about 8 or 10 so far and still adding. Try one and you'll be hooked and so will all your fish! I'm sure the G. Loomis line of rods are great, and there are some for around $200, but I've never tried one and I'm very happy with TFO!

You can get 2 BuCoo's for $200.00 at Brannon's Bass Shop, that would be my choice. If you fish around Pat Mayse, you need to visit Brannon's. That is a top notch fishing store with great people running it!

Really appreciate all the feedback. I was able to get a couple of Falcon Caras on sale for Memorial Day sale. Really appreciate all the input and look forward to checking out some of these other options for my future rods.

daiwa tatula line is amazing...... the spinning rods balance (with a reel) perfectly on one figure with no effort, end of the day, for me this saves my arms. nothing worse then to put a week in of hard pre-fishing for a tournament 12-14 hour days. to have it hurt to do a hook set on tournament day.
Do remember shimano has changed there warranty policy do a huge amount of claims being made the last few years.
I fish, ontario and ny during summer. make trips to fl, And Texas during winter. My website is

it's like buying a Ford or Chevy, Both are great products. The higher end rods are probably all great rods. What every fits in your hands best.
Thanks,
