Looking for a good 6.6 to 7ft MH rod to pair with my new curado200hg. Any suggestions? 125.00 max price range.

I prefer Ugly Stik Lite rods. They are available in multiple different lengths.

Stay away from the Carrot Stix rods, they are garbage. Everyone I've used is as stiff as rebar.

I really like my 13 Fishing Oman Black rod. It is a 7'3" MH that is 129.99. They have a 6'7" and 7'1" version for 99.99 and 109.99 respectively. Have heard really good things about the new Dobyns Fury. They have a 6'6" and 7' MH for 109.99. They are back-ordered on Tacklewarehouse.com until the 16th.

My brother-in-law and his brother both use St. Croix rods. They are a little more "whippy" than my Ugly Stik's, but they are quality.

+1 for the Ugly stick !

I enjoy Duckets (spelling?) and a good inexpensive one is the All Star that Academy has on sale from 20-40 or so. Mojo and Carrot Sticks are good too.

I've got a couple AllStar and a Falcon Lowrider on 200 Calcuttas.
My Falcon is the first one I pick up, but the AllStars are absolutely capable of doing the job.

I use Ugly sticks one piece for MH on my casting rods. Pretty much use this for Reds or summer speckles where they are running large along the coast. For the rest of the time on specs I have a Falcon ML with a Shimano Symetre. I am going to try the All Star rods from Academy. My little brother who goes out a good bit in Plaquemines and St. Bernard swears by them and says they are the best buy for the money.

Mojo Bass in that price range, best rod period, the Shimano's Clarus around 70$, are nice,the Sellus worm and jig holds my Curado, great rod for 60 bucks. Falcon HD series are awesome for 70$ for a quality rod . I fish professionally. I have several 40-70 dollar rods that fish very well. The New GLoomis EX6 inshore series is incredible if you want to invest 200 bucks.

Mojo bass MH is becoming the clear winner for reds and specks.

watched one of my clients fight a 20 lbs Blackfin tuna on one,...the rod was pointed at the sky, the rod tip was pointed at the water....for about 45 minutes......

get the 7'

What reel are you using on it?

clem131 · Sep 2, 2015

i enjoy the Abu Garcia "vendetta" (white). they cast really well and they are really well made for the price i believe you can pick them up for less then $40 pretty much anywhere. only issue i had with them is i broke two pulling fish out of heavy cover with braided line but that is the sacrifice you make for great sensitivity

Great reel I have three in basically commercial service, they are bullet proof.

whitea87 · Sep 2, 2015

It's always good to hear from a professional. I'm just getting into throwing a bait caster so I figured get a good one to learn on.

Academy used to sell a combo Curado with the All Star rod. I got one about 10 yrs ago and it became the first bait cast set up that I really felt comfortable with, esp with strong winds.

Kistler Rods
Probably not available locally buy always on their website.
High quality, great warranty and a Christian based company.

MyTFAL · Sep 3, 2015

start with mono, move up to braid, biggest headache is getting it set up right. The I series Curado's make it a lot easier, there are a ton of descent video's that help, after you get the feel for it you'll never grab a spinner first again.

That's what I heard. I had it spooled with 12lb trilene xt.
