I have decided to replace some older rods and would like some advice. The rod market is very crowed in the $150 and below range. I own some higher end rods for bottom contact but I need casting rods for the following techniques:
Square Bills Medium Crankbaits Spinnerbait Bladed Jigs Jerkbait Weightless Flukes/ Senkos Toad Pitching/Flipping
I would like to stay with the same maker and $150 or below. Actual usage would be appreciated. Thanks

I 2nd the Dobyns recommendation. If you happen to be a vet or 1st responder you can get a discount, just gotta call them and send in some verification documents. To offset the 30$ shipping charge I usually order 3 at a time. I’ve replaced my rod arsenal over the last 3 years with 24 dobs and don’t regret it. Fury’s make up bout half of them..

Take a look at the Dobyns Fury. ^^ Then, when you’re done looking at those, get Falcon LowRiders. Better rod by a LONG ways.

I have the Dobyns and really like them. I understand that Gary Loomis has a new line in this price range.

I've been impressed with the Falcon Lowrider series for the actions/baits you are talking about.
