Location: Grand Rapids, Michigan | I'm looking at getting a 3rd setup but I'm unsure on what to get.
Here's what I have-
8'6" M.I. Super Magnum XH (4-16oz) with NACL60 5.4 for pounders/mags, big blades, and other big baits.
7'6" Cabelas Tourney Trail H (1-3oz) with the new model 6600 C4 (6.3:1) for cranks, smaller jerk baits, and smaller blades.
I would like something nice but not as expensive as the SC Legend Tournament or a Tranx |

Location: Lincoln, NE | You didn't say the length on those so it's hard to fill the gap but maybe a jerkbait rod or a trolling rod. St Croix Mojo rods are cheaper than the Legend Tournament and are still nice. What lures are you looking to throw with the 3rd setup I guess would be the question. |

I updated it with the lengths. I was thinking maybe get a better rod/reel for double 10s but not sure the pounder rod seems to be a little too stiff |

Location: Lincoln, NE | Check out the Custom X 8'10" H rod. It's about a $100 cheaper than a Big Nasty/Sling Blade and is an awesome bucktail rod. |

| I think a ToothTamer 8'6" Heavy would be a good fit. Very versitile & priced right. Match with a reel of your choice... |

| I forgot to say, looking at your first two rods, if you wanted a rod shorter than 8'6", but longer than 7'6"....like a 8'.... ToothTamer in Med/Heavy is a good choice. Again, very versitile. |

Location: South-Central PA | The Mojo 8' heavy would fill the gap nicely for you. Throw on a Toro 60 in 5.4 and you're good to go.

Location: Minneapolis, MN | Don't really have a thought on a rod as everyone's preferences are different, but I'd say get a 6.4 NACL and then throw that on your pounder setup and then move the 5.4 NACL to the new rod for throwing your blades with. |

This is along the same lines as what I was thinking. If you rip or pull your big rubber you might want as fast of pick-up as you can get. A 6.4 Nacl or even a Saltist might be an upgrade. |

Location: Minnesota | Here's a kick @&& set up for the price and quality! Oh yea very light and comfortable.
ToothTamer 8' heavy/ fast 2-6 ounce. $180
Diawa Lexa 400 6.3:1 ratio 33.4" per turn. $200
I've ran the rods now for 2 years zero issues and reel seems nice. So cheap a guy could grab a XHeavy/Fast and a 400 7.1:1 for dawgs. That's 2 setups for the same dollars you'd spend on a Croix and Tranx.

| I just picked up a 9'xh TI show rod for $120 and a lexa 400pwr-p for $190. Wanted another legend tourney but figured a whole combo for $50 less than just a rod was a better idea. It's going to own double tens for me, and Lord knows I could use the extra cheese for the gas fund. |
