Members wackaloo13 Posted January 31, 2011 Members Share Posted January 31, 2011 build one. get a mhx, rx7 or rx8 blank and do it yourself. for about $150 you can build yourself a nice rod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brittsnbirds Posted January 31, 2011 Author Share Posted January 31, 2011 How much are you wanting to spend? And what are you going to use it for? Just in case I go back up to the Northwest possibly for Salmon, Pike etc., also for big browns down at Tanyey. Use it for a bass rod as well. Would like to keep it under $200.00.

grizwilson Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 I have a few too many 8 wt. Have a like new Sage FLi 890-4 8wt would let go for $200, have a G.Loomis PESCADO 9' 8wt very light use would sell for $100 (need a new fish finder for the crappie rig) can send pics if interested. g “If a cluttered desk is a sign, of a cluttered mind, of what then, is an empty desk a sign?”- Albert Einstein Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terry Beeson Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 Hendrix Outdoors CBR 9' 8wt is $210 and a great rod. The CGR rod is a bit softer and only $150. I think you would be impressed once you put either rod in your hands.
