Location: Grand Rapids MN | Well I hate to put out another rod question but I'm looking for another rod to toss my Mag Dawgs, Hang 10, bigger cranks, etc... So far I've come down to a Figrig Tooth Tamer 8' XXX or a Compre 8' XH Fast action. Figrigs are rated for more lure weight and I guess they also have the 8' Heavy action but both the XXX and Compre are priced around $120 which I would like to stay around. Currently the only other nicer rod I have is an 8' Fenwick HMX MH action I use for bucktails and other baits. Opinions or other suggestions are welcome.
Thanks in advance..
Mike
ps.. I know Figrigs are made in my hometown (which I should be loyal) but I wanted to check out the options. |

Location: Cedar, MN | I've been using a St. Croix premier rated for 2 to 8oz. It has worked very well but I just purchased a Musky inno. 8'6"
to try. Its a little heavy weight wise but otherwise it seems like a good stick. I dont know about the fig rigs but I know they had problems in the past. I dont know if there better now and I'm not trying too slam them at all because I have never used them.Just here say.

Location: Grand Rapids MN | Thanks for the reply Brad. I've heard the same things so kind of why I put this out there. I've done a search on here for Fig's and it was mixed also but mostly good. I haven't been able to find any of these rods in the local shops so I don't know what the action is exactly like and I hate to get a rod that's to stiff or one that just isn't right for the larger baits.
Thanks again.... any more thoughts from you guys out there? |
