Looking to spend 200-250 on a new shakey head rod . Any suggestions ? Spinning rod? I'd get a Shimano expride that would be $20 over our budget or a Shimano zodias. I can get you a new gloomis I'm for 150 they are 6'6 mh spinning

Thanks guys , yes spinning , I kicked my best spinning rig overboard last year helping my boy land a fish as he had lost several at the boat and was getting downtrodden. So I’ve been using some of my lesser ones , bought a Stratic reel yesterday but haven’t decided on a rod , all my other rods are g loomis E6X , st croix or Powell on my baitcasters , I had not concidered a shimano rod as i never considered them a serious rod contender . I fish Smith a lot so shakey head gets thrown a good bit and I miss my good rig .

I've got some sierras and think they suck. I had a Sierra micro, thought it was a good rod, but couldn't tell ANY difference between it and the Fury. Never used a Champion.

When you get into that $200 - $250 range for rods, you're gonna be really pleased with almost any of them. I second what has been said already though, the Expride is an underrated rod.... really balanced for a "not custom handmade" rod.

If you get one of those dobyns out need to put your hands on them everyone I've ever had or felt has been way softer than what it's rated at

I have one of each and the Expride is lighter and more sensitive IMO
It’s also a little more expensive.
