I need another rod in a 7' MH but I'm a little hesitant with the breakage potential and concerns about warranty issues. Should I pick up another orange rod or are their better more durable rods with the light weight of these rods. It's a football jig rod.

Shimano Cumara. They retail $200-$240 but you can find them for around $150 if you look on ebay. Another lighweight option would be Falcon Bucoo and Lowrider series.

Oh yeah, can't forget to throw Powell rods in the mix too when talking about lightweight rods.

Where can you get a custom built g loomis imx rod for around $150 to $160?

I would like to see the Falcon or Powell Rods but I don't have any dealers in my area. I'll have to check them out next time i get down state here in Michigan.

If you look on the internet, all or most of the retailers/etailers are liquidating all lines of older Carrot Stix. Example: Cabelas $79.99 for the original LTX version and $149.99 for the Gold version.

I was not a fan of the previous generation of the Carrot Stix. I think the issues with them were pretty documented.

However, I do have one of the newer Professsional Grade rods and I like it. I've got a 7'3 MH spinning rod. Mine is assembled pretty well and has a nice fast tip. It is pretty tip heavy, but I put an ounce of lead in the butt and it balances very nicely with a Fuego 3000.

I got mine for right at $100. At that price point, it seems like a nice rod. I'd say it compares favorably to other $100 rods.
