Fugazi Posted September 15, 2010 Report Posted September 15, 2010 As my wife is in Florida this week staying almost next door to a Pro Bass store, could anyone recommend a suitable Bass spinning rod that she could bring me back? I see they have a few offers on at the moment. Gordon H Quote
alun j. Posted September 15, 2010 Report Posted September 15, 2010 HI Gordon, I can recommend the Ugly Stik Custom Graphite .... and find 8 ft is better for boat fishing than the 9 ft. I had a Daiwa Powermesh that was lighter that was also good............ until a Spikey pulled it over the sjde !! Adam told me about a Rovex Pro Lure which I've seen and might get to replace above. I'm here in LA and haven't seen a tackle shop yet .... and def no Pro Bass nearby. Alun. Quote
jay kay Posted September 15, 2010 Report Posted September 15, 2010 A mate of mine bought the rovex lure rod we both really like it, now iv got one 2! Only Quote
Mike Fox Posted September 16, 2010 Report Posted September 16, 2010 Have used my Ugly Stik Spin 8' for years, and it has the sensitivity to feel the gentlest of bites. It's got the power in reserrve too - I've boated conger to 40lb, tope to 25lb, bass to 14lb as well as blonde and thornback rays. Bought one for George too now! They get my vote! Mike Quote
Wedger Posted September 16, 2010 Report Posted September 16, 2010 (edited) Hiro Formula Bass does it for me - matched with Penn Slammer Liveliner 560. Here mine Dougle's danglies.... Find one here Edited September 16, 2010 by Wedger Quote
Fugazi Posted September 16, 2010 Author Report Posted September 16, 2010 Thanks Guys, I had a budget to keep to so the Ugly Stik it is then, hope to try it out this Saturday Gordon H Quote
