just wanted to know cuz my friend have broked quite a few cherryrods throwing a slab out and hook sets.. any body have good any good suggestions.... and i was thinking of getting maybe the cabelas camo stix or to the ole ugly stix. any suggestions

Ugly stik lite.

My Cherrywood has given me very good service. The BPS Bionic Blade is my favorite rod. It is very sensitive.

+1 on the Bionic Blade.
Johnny

+1 on the ugly stick light

As stated above the BPS Bionic Blade is a very durable and reliable rod. I have several that have given me good service for many years. BPS runs them on sale often.

Can't go wrong with a Rod designed by Gary Loomis!

has anyone tried the basspro shop graphite seris or the academy tournament choice rods

I use 'em, I abuse 'em. Good rods.

thank you for yalls ima bein goin to bass pro or cabelas

Hey tornado you might check Academy (not the cherry rods) and their nicer selection of rods. Then you head out to BPS and or Cabelas to compare. I have saved some good $ on some nice Academy rods compared to the big stores. Can't beat their selection, but sometimes their price. Good Luck.

ima have to check academy out
thanks

Bass Pro carries the TFO rods Superduck was referencing!!

Stay away from the $15 rods from Walmart!! Someone on Lakeguide's boat caught a fatty hybrid and the rod shattered to THREE pieces. I am not saying who

I have a couple tournament choice rods on the garage. Ok rods, very cheap price, but they are heavier than most other rods.

My favorites are my G Loomis rods. Kinda pricey, but a good rod.

I have several (6) and have caught sanbass, Hybrids to 7 lbs and redfish 10 lbs and they have handled everything I've hooked. Good rod for the money.

shakepeare git the job done

Tornado,
If you're still in the market for a good Sandy/Hybrid rod come on by Bass Pro Shop of Garland and ask for Bill (Me) We'll walk through how you fish, where you fish, what you like and what feels right. Kinda like havin your own personal shopper... lots of rods to choose from...

..... And that goes for everybody.... I ain't proud LOL

The Academy H2O rod is pretty good.

I bought 3 Temple fork rods and they are some of the best rods I own and the price is great ! I also use bass pro carbons and ugly stick lite's , they are all good rods imo but I continue to snag fish in there sides with my TFO rods.

i just got a daiwa procyon baitcaster rod not bad looks decent has anyone use this rod yet

If you spend $25.00 and up for a rod it will be good for sandies and hibbies. Medium heavy action 6'-6" or 7'-0". I have all BPS rods ranging from Tourney Series (slabbing/deadsticking) to Extreme Series (swimbaits/sassy shad) to Nitro Series (topwater) and all have held up to big fish with no problems. All the rods listed in other posts are very good rods. It comes down to how much you are willing to spend and what you are expecting out of the rod by way of feel and functionality. Good luck!

$25???? Tornado, one trick I learned over the years is dont tell your Dad (or Mom) the rod is $25 or $100. Tell him its ONLY $24.99 or ONLY $99 bucks. It works like a charm with my wife

i cant wait to try my new rod out . gunna put it to the test monday.
