Before You Buy Another Rod Owe It to Yourself to Pickup One of These Elliot Rods

[AllenW]

While I think $350-375 for a musky rod is a waste of money, I'd be interested in the spinning rods.

I tend to buy more costly rods were feel is important, so on a jigging walleye or crappie rod I'll spend $200-250 max on a St Croix usually.

Not so much on a crank bait, bobber or tossing 2x4" musky/northern baits.

One big question though, can you find these in a store, especially the Twin Cities?

Been burnt to many times buying the latest/greatest what'sit over the web.

I believe on their site is a list of the retailers who carry their rods in store. I buy mine from a sporting goods store up in Grand Rapids. Love their rods.. just broke one somehow and going to send it in and see how the customer service is. Will report back. Can’t go wrong trying one out!

Looks like several places in the TC have them, I'll have to go look, thanks.

Have you run St Croixs and how do they compare?

350 for a musky rod with a 1 year warranty.?

Even if they are made in the USA, no thanks, I'll stick to my st croix's. fishing is hard on rods, sorry but 1 year is flat out pathetic, especially given we have a hardware season too and musky isn't an all year things, might as well not even have a warranty. Am I missing something here?

I have a few st croix rods but most are under the value of a elliot rod. Closest I have is a avid x, which fishes nice no doubt but I can't put down that elliot with a fuego reel.. so light and sensitive compared to any other rod I own.

I noticed that Tom Boley (who used to praise SC Mojo Bass rods) now is using them. I'll stick with my USA made SC's.

Tom Boley + Elliot rods = sponsor.....I'm sure.

Not saying Elliot rods aren't good rods though, but I don't think he'd be wearing the cap otherwise...I'm also happy with my SC rods!

Yeah, I noticed that too. Even if he isn't singing his praises for the Elliott rods during his videos, he is using them and wearing the matching hat. I'm sure he got it all for free, and if that were the case I'd use them too. Until then, I'll stick with my St Croix rods. Like they say here in the South, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

10-4 I totally agree!

Are they all one piece rods? A 7' one piece rod would be difficult for me to transport.
