Favorite Hex Rods

Post by Chode » Tue Sep 01, 2020 6:38 pm

I don't c a single review on these. Asking about the 7'2 & 7'5 MH. How's the balance sensitivity and taper? Upper and lower lure ratings? Pics of balance would be awesome blossom

I’ve looked at a few of those in the past. To be honest, if your going to drop that much coin I would look elsewhere.
I had a Rush that snapped a few inches off the tip while setting. I wasn’t impressed considering I used it all of 5 times. Didn’t even bother to contact for a replacement. Ended up going all Dobyns.

The price points on Favorite have not much to do with mfg. quality/tighter tolerances. Purely the labor of the aesthetics.

From what I have heard from most (except brainwashed kids) is there rods are garbage and the company owner is shady.

Basically if all fishing rod companies went under except Favorite, I would make my own.

With that said I also can't really stand the Googan Squad either....
