I was wanting to know what would be a good rod for a 7000. I have a 7000ICS Rocket and a 7000 CL Big Game Old School. I do not want to break the bank. But I want a rod that will be able to do the job with a 40 to 50 pound fish on the end. I have the 2 reels to do the job. Now I need me a set of good rods
I'll 2nd that. Check out www.shop.catfishsafari.com Steve will be more then happy to help you pick the right rod for the type of fishing you do. I have 5 CS rods now and needing more. Have to supply the girlfriend with her own. :wink:
Well it just so happens I have recently matched up the Abu Garcia 7000ICS Pro Rocket Reel with the Catfish Safari Flathead Rod and must say they make a real nice marriage! :cool2: Not sure what you consider "breaking the bank" but the rods go for $80 plus shipping!
bass pro shops catmax m/h 7.5 ft is a great rod for 50.00 bucks I have landed 70 pounders on them with no problem !:wink:
Dustin, take your time on deciding what rods you want or BEFORE you know it you'll have 10 different brands of rods! There are several GOOD rod companies out there! I have Surge, Qauntom, Shakespeare, Berkley, G Loomis, Fenwick, etc. I use most of these rods for different applications. Its hard to find a rod thats perfect for ALL conditions, lakes with light weights, River with 16oz current, drifting w/3-4oz, lightweight rods, sensitive tips for circle hooks and stiff rods for BIG baits and lots of struture and 10-24oz weights! I guess you see what I mean, as you experiment with new CAT tactics your arsenal grows SO take your time and look at what each brand of rod offers you and your individual budget.:big_smile:
Imma have to hurry up and get me a CS rod, I would say get one... All I hear are good reviews about them.:wink:
