[QUOTE="russ010, post: 90370, member: 677"] I decided to save my money and went to a local tackle shot to test a few rods... I am still going to get a Kistler later, but right now I really want to put most money I can spend into my boat. So with that being said, I ended up getting a Daiwa Procyon 7'0" MH for $50. The bottom picture with the split grip is the one I got. I really don't like split grip rods, but the blan on this one is pretty thick, and the cork at the back is not a little piece that I couldn't palm when I fish it. This rod is actually really sensitive and I could feel everything on the bottom. Switched from braid to fluoro and the sensitivity increased even more, not to mention the difference in casting.. If you're on a budget, I'd recommend this rod... [url]https://www.tackledirect.com/daiwa-pcn-701mhxb-procyon-trigger-rod.html[/url] [/QUOTE]
