Affordable bfs rods???

[Ish87]

I'm looking to buy an affordable ml bfs rod. At the moment I'm using a shimano cantar ml baitcasting rod but I am looking into buying another rod but I also don't want to break the bank. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

What do you use this rod for? I like throwing small soft plastics.

Small jigs and plastics. Mostly 1/8 oz heads and small plastics.

$120, good GOD man get a budget! Try to source some OG Aussie Omen Blacks. Freaking amazing rods. I had a 6'3" rated 1/6 to 1/2 oz and their 6'10" rated at 1/8-3/8oz. Fantastic lighter power rods!!

A Phenix PHX-C682 will run you ~$180, but the older Recon 2 version that I have is a solid bfs rod.

lol it's kinda hard with two kids and and bills to pay. Maybe later on I can get a really nice rod. Just need something that works for now.

Phenix has some really nice rods but a bit expensive. I've seen some people use the phenix maxim but I've read some mixed reviews on them breaking. Any thoughts on the maxim rod?

Do you own this rod? If so how do you like it?

Nope, the Recon 2 is the only one I have ever held. If you are in/near MD, shoot me a PM, I could be talked into selling mine if it’s replacement works out

I like it. It has incredible build quality for the price. I like it a bit better than my Zodias 610ML. It's about as sensitive and with almost as much backbone but has a softer tip that loads up better with lighter baits and it still a mod fast like the Zodias. Amazing stick for under $60.
