Thank you! Being in the medical field, I like doing my research and fact finding before I make a video to be sure I know what I'm talking about. Some people just get on camera and start talking...I prefer to give facts backed up by my own personal experiences.

I also notice that Abu Garcia and BPS rod blanks thickness near the reel seat are very similar?
@TheAverageFisherman99Ай бұрын
@@GusM661 the BPS rods are pretty big in diameter, especially the spinning rods. The Abu spinning rods I have are much smaller in diameter than the BPS rods, sometimes by 50%. My veritas TE heavy power rod is about 30% smaller in diameter than the BPS medium power. They're both hollow construction though, so the wall thickness of the actual graphite blanks are pretty similar, the BPS rods just have a larger hollow cavity if that makes sense?

What is your opinion on st croix I have 2 St. croix glass rods for crankig. I love them. Also my med heavy one is paired with an abu revo winch. Also been an abu fan since most people I know started with a zebco 33 I started with an abumatic out of my grandpa's garage so stuck with them since about 12

Honestly, I'm not a st Croix fan. Their rods are over-priced for what you're getting in my opinion. I've owned a few in the past, but do not currently own any. I've fished with a couple legend series rods however, and they're pretty decent, but for the amount they cost, there are far better rods at the same price or less. The legend elite is comparable to the fantasista X in my hands, but the fantasista is over $100 less. The $130 st Croix panfish and trout rods are inferior to the $40 BPS crappie maxx pro rods in sensitivity AND action, and FAR inferior to the 13 Fishing Omen Panfish rod.
