depends on what I'm buying it for... Long Butt Baitcasting Rods St. Croix Avid Series: flipp'n/worm/jig rod = C, St. Croix Premier Series: crank bait, topwater, multi-purpose = B Spinning Rod: G-Loomis GLX = C+ Pistol Grip: A, but can fall into the B range - yes some of us still use the pistol grip to angle with...LOL Hey TFF,
Curious...when buying a bass rod what price point do you purchase within mostly?
A. under $125
B. between $125 and $200
C. over $200
Thanks,
Maranatha !

Interesting info, thanks guys I’m curious what you thought the majority answer would be? I’d like to see a poll on colors that guys will NOT buy. I won’t buy a white rod, due to feeling like a fairy (yellow neither).

Weekend fun fisherman, all of mine are under $125. Dobyns Fury is a pretty good fit for me. venture into Phenix rods....you wont turn back....at least for bottom contact bait rods Ventured there.... bought 5. 2 broke on hook sets - 1 right above the handle and 1 right below the first eye up the rod. 2 more broke 3rd eye from the tip. Cant keep eyes on them either, everyone has had an eye fall off.

Most of my rods were B's when I bought them. If I had to replace them, inflation has driven them into the "C" range

A. I do have one I paid 180.00 for but I’ll never do that again. Some really good rods out there for under 125.00. In my opinion
