any one fish these rods .picked one up at academy today felt pretty darn good for 50.00 bucks

i still fish the allstar rod and just got a couple of them myself and love em

got em on 8 reels.. love em, did snap one on a hook this winter, but one out of 8 in a year fishing all the time isn't all that bad.. plus academy replaced it

Yep, I would go allstar rather than the rodsmith next to it. My allstars are holding up great the rodsmiths stay on my bench getting fixed. Hard to beat for 50 bucks

I have several, not had any trouble at all. Good rods for the money.

the best deal for 50 bucks

My dad's an old school fisherman, which mean it's usually really hard to get him to change or try anything new (LOL!). He uses the Allstar Classic sold at Academy EXCLUSIVELY. I've tried for years to get him to buy or I'll buy for him a couple of the G-Loomis rods I use. My selling point to him is that I get a great quality high end rod that if ANYTHING at all ever happens to it I can get them to ship me another one for $50.00. His reply is..."I've got a real good rod in my Allstars that if ANYTHING at all ever happens to it I can go to Academy & replace it for $50.00 bucks...OH! & I ONLY have $50.00 wrapped up in the rod to begin with!".

You know.....some times we need to just sit back & listen to the old guys because most of the darn time they know what their talking about, LOL!

Allstar Classics - FOR THE MONEY YOU CAN'T BEAT'EM!

I have 5 of them and use them every trip. Most of them I have had for 4 or more years....great rod for the money.

do they have any pitchin sticks that are 7 feet long just curious I live about 60 miles form the closest ac, thanks

i use my classic every time i go out, good solid rod

Oh, dear, a Chinese rod that isn't made of delicate, breakage-prone, ultra-lightweight unobtainium microfiber space-age material that costs more than my first car? Who could possibly want one of these?

Well, I like mine...the Chinese Castaways aren't bad, either. The new H2O Academy rods feel pretty good too.

igot me some today there is a 7' it says corolina tom mann special feels like a good flipping stick to me.

Have several All-Star rods and a couple of Castaway and one Falcon I got during a Rod Riot all from Academy. Biggest difference I have noticed between Allstar's and Castaway rods versus Falcon is that the Falcon seems noticeably lighter.

I have three of the All-Star Instincts and I am looking to pick up about 5 more. The 6'10'' is a great rod, along with the 7'6''

in tyler they are 40.00
