IMO as a rod builder also doing repairs for 3 shops

I would say Tica is best bang for the buck

Your opinion should carry more weight then, I like Ticas too. The prices don't kill you when you buy one, they have a responsive tip, and won't break your shoulder.

10 ft rod db07cssi1002k mh action
9 ft rod db07cssp902k mh action it called the classic line but they have other rods now hope this helps

I would second the coments made on the DBlue rods. I like their 9 footer a lot for plugging especially because I can cast my plastics very far with it.

Tics is also a good bang for the buck.

Here is the Dblue site. http://www.dbluefishing.com/index.asp

Dblue has great customer service as well.

I like the Dblue as well. They recently raised thier prices, but still are a bargain compared to what you are getting for your money.

Forget all tha junk. Go to a fishermsn flea mkt. and look for good cond. Lammys or St. Croixs. Now thats the ticket!

[strikezone31]

What would you say are the reason St. Croix's are good?
