Check out the Denali line. I use the Kovert Lites mostly and love the sensitivity.

I also like a Lew's TP-1.  There's a Ned specific one and then a drop shot/shakey head one  I really like both of them.  I also have an old Fenwick HMG that's probably 20 years old that I like.  Not a fan of the Abu Garcia Veritas one that I have though.

Thanks for the replies.   I do plan on sending them back to St Croix.  I do like their rods.   This is the first real trouble I have had.

Dobyns makes several very nice spinning rods.

I have had good customer service with St. Croix rods as well. Same with G Loomis.

Spinning rods-bang for your buck.

I just picked up a medium 2-piece 7ft Shakespeare Ugly Stick Elite for bass. Any users/opinions? I am also interested in a Berkley Lightning Rod ultralite for crappie. Any suggestions?

Thanks, Don

An update.  Sent both rods to St Croix 4/14.  Received 2 new rods back today.  10 day turn around and it only cost me $35 (15 there 20 back)

for shipping.  That’s great customer service.
