Re: What is the Least expensive rod that You have
Loomis GL2 that is about 15 years old. I still use it for small spinnerbaits.

+1. My vendetta surprises me how well it handles just about everything. I just bought a new cumara and I'm anxious to see how it compares in sensitivity to the vendetta.smalljaw wrote:The Abu Garcia Vendetta and I really like it. The 6'6" M-F is great for spinnerbaits, buzzbaits,and swim jigs but I've used for big jerkbaits and topwaters and it worked just fine, the rod is an awesome caster, nice distance and accuracy with it.

Fenwick Eagle GT trolling rod. Paid 45 bucks for it and it has caught me some nice fish during the cold weather months.

Loomis GL2 cranking rod
Re: What is the Least expensive rod that You have
Bass Pro Crankin' Stick 7' MH with a Rick Clunn reel. Paid 30 $ for the rod in 2005 I am about to change the reel for a Revo Winch gen3. I am not a big cranker but it does the job. I did get another one this year.

6' ugly stick pro lite spinning rod. Don't fish with it anymore, keep it around for the nephew.

Veritas. It's also the most expensive rod I own.
Re: What is the Least expensive rod that You have
my least expensive is a Fenwick HMX 6'6" ml/f with a daiwa exceler 2000 on it, got the rod as part of a combo deal from Reed's Sporting Goods witha pflueger president for like $90 and the exceler on clearance for $40 after they were discontinued for the HA and TSH.
usually i just leave this rod in the car for the random "LOOK!! there is some water, i wonder if it has fish in it" stops, and for wading some streams in the area, but it works surprisingly well for small soft swimbaits (up to a 3.5" shadalicious on a 1/4oz jighead) got some nice walleyes from shore with that combo this spring.
not the most sensitive rod out there, but it does a little bit of everything well, so it will stay in the car for now!

a two piece ugly stick lite medium that sits in the garage. I have drug it out on occasion to strap to my bike for a distant meetup, but any normal trip it stays home.
Re: What is the Least expensive rod that You have
Okuma EVX-A 7'0" MH. Good rod for spinnerbaits and chatterbaits. For $90, I know for sure I would pick it over a Mojo Bass any day.

LC Fat Mini Magic re-wrapped with a spiral wrap. It is slumming with a BPS Carbonlite.
