spinning rod

Mr. Babler introduced me to the Falcon Cara Jeff Kreit Squirrel tail spinning rod several years back and it's by far the best and most versatile spinner I've ever owned.  

I have two and it's tuff to put them down and pick up one of my many G. Loomis spinning rods.

The Lew's TP-1 Black rods are excellent, and decently priced. I do tape my grips, but you might not find the need.

Their 7'6" is as close to my custom Ned rods as you'll find.

Steve, I would listen to this guy. He knows his stuff when it comes to spinning rods.

Which Model number would this be?

Thanks

The 7'6" is one they call the "Open Water" rod. I'll try to find an exact number.

It lists as MH, but I would call it a nice all around M.

 

Perfect Ned rod for 1/8 or 3/16 heads. Good all purpose...grubs/swimmers, split shot, senko/fluke, etc. Might be just a touch light for big tubes, like with a 1/4-3/8 head and a heavy salt tube.

Haven't tried the others in the series. Rarely use anything besides one 7'6" or another now. Light, decently sensitive, stands up to the occasional very welcome guest winding one all the way to the tip top 😉.

Well I have fished a couple 6'6" Berkley lightening rods for about 8 years, I'm on my 3rd reel on one of them. 8 years ago they were $40 I think now maybe $50, they are different now but they might be worth a look.

I'm partial to Lightning Rods too . 

I think I've got three of the 6' 6" now, two have the tips broken off but I still use them, and one 6' old model that I got at the outlet store.

The broken tips stiffen up the action just enough for jigging raps.
