Affordable bfs rods???
Affordable bfs rods???
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.

Small jigs and plastics. Mostly 1/8 oz heads and small plastics.Ish87 wrote:What do you use this rod for? I like throwing small soft plastics.LowRange wrote:Kuying Topcaster ML.

$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.Ish87 wrote:Like 120 tops. At this moment is all I can afford.ss30378 wrote:What's affordable to you? $50, $100, $150???

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?Houndfish wrote:A Phenix PHX-C682 will run you ~$180, but the older Recon 2 version that I have is a solid bfs rod.Ish87 wrote:Like 120 tops.

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 outIsh87 wrote:Phenix has some really nice rods but a bit expensive.

Re: Affordable bfs rods???
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.Ish87 wrote:Do you own this rod? If so how do you like it?LowRange wrote:Small jigs and plastics.
