As sport fishing is an incredibly popular recreation in North America, many people find themselves trying to find the absolute best values on various fishing supplies. Perhaps the foremost piece of equipment in the sport of fishing is the rod itself. Spinning rods are available in many sizes, and also in many price ranges. A perfect rod should have great action, be well manufactured, and remain sturdy and reliable. It is almost inevitable that, in the course of fishing, rods will be broken, so a warranty is also a boost to the value of any fishing rod. Following are some of the best spinning rods, because of their overall values.
St. Croix Spinning Rods
For starters, St. Croix offers lifetime warranties on most of their rods. And to top that, their rods are great, and most models are not too expensive. They all have great rod action, and are built well, making them great overall values. St. Croix makes some of the best spinning rods that may be utilized by anglers pursuing trout (extra light power rods) to those fishing for saltwater fish (heavy power rods). The St. Croix Avid series, which starts at $119.95 (US) consists of a number of great rods, that are superbly engineered to maintain perfect action. Available in many sizes and lengths, every St. Croix Avid rod is accompanied by a lifetime warranty. Some sizes are also available in two-piece, making for easier travel. St. Croix rods are handcrafted in the USA.
Temple Fork Outfitters Rods
Temple Fork Outfitters manufactures many types and series of rods, and their spinning rods are among the very finest available. TFO's Lefty Kreh signature series offers some of the best spinning rods, many of which are multi-piece rods, which can be broken down and fit into smaller cases for travel. These rods begin at $99.95, and range up to $ 149.95, covering all sizes. The Temple Fork Outfitters TiCR2 (double-coated with titanium/chromium) Lefty Kreh travel series offers rods that may carry fishing line of any size from as light as 2 lb. test, to as heavy as over 25 lb. test. And, what's more, they include a lifetime warranty (capitalizing on this warranty will, however, cost a buyer $25 dollars, which covers shipping and handling, and processing the broken rod and its replacement).
G. Loomis Bronzeback Series
G. Loomis is renowned for manufacturing top quality fishing rods. The company's Bronzeback series (named for one of the nicknames of smallmouth bass), which has rods that range in power from light to medium-high (and may fish lines from 4-17 lb. test) is one of G. Loomis' least expensive rods, though it has the same quality as that of any other model. Bronzeback rods are some of the very best spinning rods available from any manufacturer, making them well worth their costs, which range from $220 to $290. These rods also include lifetime warranties, meaning that, despite many damaged rods, any angler could have a GL Bronzeback for life following the initial purchase.
Although some of these rods may be considered somewhat pricey, they are all some of the best spinning rods around, as they are superbly manufactured, fish well and have great action, and carry lifetime warranties.
