All great options and I'd like to add St. Croix Legend Tournament Bass LBTC73HMF Flip-Chat-Crank 7'3" Heavy/Mod-Fast. I do also have the Shimano Expride but the St. Croix has shown to be the best at ripping through the thick grass of the upper Chesapeake Bay where I fish. Just a suggestion, thanks for what you do.

Dobyns sierra 734c is right there too just above 150$, cheaper if on sale or used. One of the best for the money. I also really like the new graphite dobyns champion 746cb for under 300$ (well under used or on sale).

Talked to Gary once after coming in to replace a broken 733. He disapproved of that light of a rod for that heavy jig hook. Recommend a sierra 735 if not going for the champ line of glass rods. I had trouble with losing them a lot with the 733. I ended up getting the 736 glass champ for dedicated ½ oz plus jacks and have not lost one on it that gets a good bite.

That NRX plus BJR is a heirloom that will get passed down in our family absolutely the best

Another rod to look at is the new Fenwick reaction series rods. I have been throwing 3/8 & 1/2 ounce chatterbaits on the medium heavy 7‘5“ elite rod, and it has been absolutely phenomenal. Similar to a glass rod does not have as deep of a bend and Keeps fish pinned better than any rod I have ever used for chatter bait.

For open water smallies I really like the imx pro 883c bjr. I am really interested in the new glx 873 bjr. I had a ton of customers also show interest in it at shows this year

I’m glad to hear you’re going to post more videos and I have a Curado 7’2” MHG that works great for the price, but I have the Expride and the Poison Adrena, so I’m feeling pretty smart at this point. Being a Shimano 4life kinda guy, I’m going to add a rod I’ve had for 7 years and it has never let me down, it’s a Duckett White Ice that I bought on eBay for cheap and I am not a Duckett fan but my brother and I found these rods at an online auction and together we bought 10. I’m not sure they make anything like that white ice, and you can’t find a new one, but I use 4 of them along with my Shimano, and GLoomis(6 IMX Pros) and I am retired and fish in a few clubs here in the Raleigh NC area lakes as well as Kentucky Lake and Cumberland ( I’m from Kentucky originally). I’ve bought over a dozen rods and reels from ALF in the past 9 years ❤ keep up the great job ❤

I have the Loomis IMX BJR and the Expride 7’2” MH glass. I prefer the Expride. Awesome BJR rod! Would love to try the Posion Adrena.

I listened. I bought the Poison Adrena from the used list. I am very pleased. Need another

For under 300.00 my choice is a Scenko Stix BTO series Chatter/Trap it’s an amazing rod made by guys that catch big bass 👍👍👍

Absolutely love my 72mhg poison adrena. Such a crisp rod. Has a really nice flex in the tip but great backbone and power. I’ve owned more rods than I can count from cheap to NRX+ and the the poison adrena lineup has been my favorite from price, looks and fishabiltiy. I’ve bought for 4 different poison adrena models from American legacy this year alone

Hands down the Super Combat stick from Evergreen

Daiwa tatula 7’4 glass

St Croix Legend Xtreme 7’ MHF

Thanks

Seems like a good list to me. I use the Expride and find it to be perfect. I do want to try the new chatter bait rod from G loomis in the GLX line. But as someone that owns 12 Exprides at the moment. It is just hard to want to spend more when they preform so well. I’ll be checking back in to see more techniques and rods. 🎣

What about the new GLX BJR?

7'2" EXPRIDE MH non-glass = 🔥🔥🔥 - 613BASS'N

I would love to see you guys start carrying Yakrods. The X-Chatter is an awesome rod also.

One thing I hate about monoque, they scratch so fucking bad all of mines are f up, can’t find a way to remove it!
