![]() Hey all,
I'm currently in the market for a new spinning rod and wanted to get some recommendations. Looking for a rod preferably under $150 that can do the following: - fish 1-10oz lead - fish 1-8oz bucktails - suitable for inshore fluking and rough offshore conditions for seabass, ling, and cod Thanks guys! |

![]() Once u get that heavy with lead isn't it easier/less angler abuse to go conventional? Paying out line to maintain bottom is also easier with a conventional set up. To each their own I guess...
Not many spinning outfits designed particularly for such high lure weights. As stated already, penn and ugly stick make broom sticks that'll handle the weight you're looking to use.

The nexus seems like a nice rod that is pretty versatile in terms of how much weight it can handle, so it might fit what you’re looking for better. I looked into them and ended up going with a Tsunami Airwave Coastal 7’ that was in stock at Reel Seat. I’ve used it a bunch of times for fluke on party boats and it is a great rod for the price point. I paired it with a Tsunami Shield 4000 and have been really happy with it. Good luck in your search! |
