Looking for a new rod

Post by Rayph1n » Mon May 10, 2021 4:46 pm

I'm looking to upgrade my t-rig/ jig rod. Currently using a e6x and I feel I could get a better rod in the same price range. Sensitivity isn't there. I used other rods that I feel are more sensitive and cost less $$$. So now I'm in the market to upgrade that rod.

Looking for:
7' to 7'3"
3/8 to 1oz. lure weight. Lighter on the low end if possible.
Good sensitivity
$250 budget

Tight lines.

I have been using a E6X too for the last 3 years until I dropped it in the lake.
I was perfectly happy with the rod but now I have no choice but to buy a new rod and I want something different.
I been researching for a couple weeks now and I am still not decided on a rod.
I keep thinking I will find something fantastic for $200 and it has not happened yet.
I wish there was a way to demo a rod before buying.

I have recently found FX Customs rods and I think they are unbeatable in their price range($180). They come with Winn grips, but some models are available with cork grips, too.
Try not to let your mind wander. It is much too small to be outside unsupervised.

Bump the price by $50 and the length by 3” and try an Orochi Braillist. It’s an amazing t rig rod
