What are the best fishing poles?

Question

Im getting 4 for each member of my family, including me. What fishing poles are the best for fishing in lakes?

Probably Bass

Answer 1

look at the G Loomis brand made for bass fishing I have a gl2 mag heavy with a shimano calcuta 400 level wind with 18 lbs test line fish caught on this rod halibut 22 lbs white sea bass 26lbs small yellow fin tuna,s in the35 lbs range that,s a fight i have found that this is the best rod for all around fishing

Answer 2

This was a question asked to Doug Hannon who if you are unaware, is the "Bass Professor". He has caught more than 800 bass that weighed over 10lbs.

here's a simple one but i think its a good question. what is your current favorite rod and reel combo, hooks, line ect. for an all round, all purpose, do-it-all set up

No question that I prefer an 7 foot medium to medium heavy rod spec-ed for 10-17 pound line and 2/8 to 3/4 ounce lure weights. Match this with a good quality baitcaster and 12-14 pound flourocarbon line, and you can do just about anything.

Like the other folks said if you want good as in quality, go with G-loomis, St. Croix, and I prefer Fenwick rods.
But with quality comes price. The G-Loomis rods are around $300.00 a piece.
If that is out of your price rnge, just go to your local sorting goods store, tell them your delema and get the best rods you can afford.

But the best advice I can give you is to stay away from the Ugly Stick. They are horrible rods, and anyone who is a serious fisherman that sees you or your family using one, will laugh. They really are garbage rods. That is why they are so cheaply priced.

Answer 4

Check out the Shimano Convergance poles. They are relatively cheap and come with a lifetime warranty. I bought one for $50 and accidently broke it. I took it back and got a new one, no questions asked.

Answer 5

it really does depend what type of fish (we'll assume bass since you mentioned them) and what type of presentation and conditions you are fishing.

for a general, beginner rod, you can get an Ugly Stick, probably medium action, in about 6' or 6.5' length.

check out Bass Pro Shops and type in "Ugly Stick". There are lots of combos.

Answer 6

It actualy depens on what you are fishing for, not on where you are fishing.

There are all sorts of poles for various sizes of fish. I would recomend going to a local sports shop, tell them what you need, and get the correct pole for what you are fishing for.

Answer 7

Shakespeare ugly stik (preferably 6-7 foot), the best pole ever and is almost indestructable

Answer 9

The best would be GLoomis, St Croix, and Quarrow. If you want the best made by GLoomis or St Croix they cost $300

Answer 10

I have an Ugly Stick, and it's supposed to be guaranteed for life. I've had it for about 15 years, and it hasn't broke, yet.
