Bass fishing

[Williams4298]

Any bass fishers on here? I’m looking at trying a couple new rods and was wondering what y’all thought about them? I’m looking at one3 fate black, one3 fate chrome, Daiwa aird x, and Cabela’s zx.

Don’t buy 13 rods. Biggest pieces of junk out there. I’ve broken 4, and know many people who have too. Dad broke one on the first cast. Buy the falcon bucoo sr from academy. Most bang for your buck and extremely light. I have 5 of them!

The 13 reels are pretty good though!

Which ones do you have? Been looking at a few of them

I’d buy a shimano as that’s all I really like, but I have the white one and it’s pretty good. Dad has the black one and it will cast a weightless bait a mile! They fit the hand just like a shimano!

I highly recommend Duckett
High quality, drop it in the lake and it floats so no losing your pole. Very durable.
Only drawback is price

Falcon bucco and dobyns fury both at the $100 price point and dang good rods

The only duckett I’ve had good luck with is the white ice, I’ve had it for about 5 years. I’ve had 3 micro Magic’s and they all broke!

IMO. Learn how to locate the spine of a rod. It's not as easy when the eyes are already on, but it can be done. Very few mass produced rods pay attention to this, but some do. Waterloo from academy is one that does.

fury are great rods. price point is good also

[ultralite09]

Been using dobyns rods since college bass fishing days and for the price, I won't buy any other rods anymore. For entry level, their fury series are hard to beat.

Thst being said, I do also have and thoroughly enjoy the falcon bucoo I still have as well as the G Loomis E6X rods.

I've heard all the 13 rods are junk, but as stated above, I love their reels. I have one duckett white ice that has not broken yet out of the 5 I bought initially.

So if y’all had to build a combo for Texas rig fishing what would y’all put together?

[buck128]

Castaway Skelton V2 7ft medium heavy with a abu revo Stx

[hooligan]

I’m a fan of TFO, carrot stix, falcon and st croix for rods. Shimano, okuma and abu for reels. The bass pro reels are actually hard to beat for the price, I’ve been happy with the 2 I have

What are you looking to spend on the combo?

I mainly flip with a Kistler Helium 3, 7'3" MH with an Abu STX 8:0:1

But I also flip with a Falcon Bucoo Micro 7'3"H with a Abu Garcia SX and I can't tell any difference in sensitivity between the two.

The Falcon Bucoo is definitely the lightest rod I own, and for the price they are very durable and sensitive.
