I have been using 7ft M and MH rods for tube dragging and some other open water techniques...I want to go with a 7' 6" rod this year..I will be mating this Rod with a Shimano CI4... I am looking for a Fast Action M-MH rod....Would like to stay in the 250 dollar price range...Does Grandt have a rod that would fit these specs..Thanks..
I use 7'2" Shimano DS rods for Dropshot..The actions are a tad to slow for Dragging tubes (Just to give you an idea what I am looking for)

I am putting in an order this week.
If you guys want rods now is the time as we can save money on shipping.

What does (C-F) mean....??
the xlh70 series has the option of different grip materials.

I made some errors and had to correct.
The website is being updated and some things were out of place.
Grandt is in Minnisota doing a show. If anyone wants rods let me know. I can have them shipped from there. Just PM me and I will shoot you a quote on any rods that you need.
If we group these we can save on shipping.

MAD WAGS,
What would you recommend for throwing crank baits on St, Clair.I already have a rattle bait rod.
Bob Galloway
Mine looks correct
Thank you
Frank
Mine looks good
I went to the website to click on the break down of the models at 7' 6" and I couldn't get it to come up......
If we go with the XLH series can we get the little small mouth bass applique put on the blank???? lol
I would really like to feel one of these rods in my hands before ordering...You and I live fairlly close Madwags..It doesnt have to be a 7' 6"..A 7 footer in Medium and Medium heavy should give me an idea....
What reel seat do they use on the XLH??...Guides???
I am looking to make a change on Rods...Shimano bought out Loomis so I want to support made in the USA where I can....(I know currently Loomis is still made in the US...BUT....)
Go ahead and send this order in and I can get my stuff next time....I hate to spend a couple of hundred bucks without feeling the rods...I wish I would have been at the shows..

All last season I cranked the depths of St. Clair with a 7' Eglass Medium Action Rod.
I was really impressed with how few fish I lost after hook up.
My nephew noticed as well and bought one for this season.
Retail is 229.00
GLB price is approx. 157.00
sorry i missed it, I need spinning thank you
Frank
got it.
Mine is correct, thx.
Sent a pm, too.
Scott
MadWags,

Bob Galloway
Got your order in Bob.
Here is the crank I use most
http://shop.mikesrxbaits.com/category.sc?categoryId=276 (http://shop.mikesrxbaits.com/category.sc?categoryId=276)
MikesRX is a site sponsor like Grandt Rods and has an awesome price on these
This just in!
I didn't realize that Brian Belevender, from this site, drove out to Minneapolis to work the show with Grandt Rods. So now I have awesome news for those that ordered rods and those that place an order with me by Sunday Morning.
These orders have no tax and now NO SHIPPING COSTS!
Brian is bringing the rods back with him.
Below is the up to date order.

Sorry, I missed this.
Yes you can get any fish you want on a special order at no additional cost. If you order today I can see what fish are available in the size and action you want. A 7'6" MH action rod is more likely to have a Striper on it than a Smally.
Grandt uses a variety of componenets including but not limited to PacBay, Alps, Benchmark and even has some of his own components that he is having manufactured. The guides on the xlh70 series vary but fo the most part are black stainless frames with titanium inserts. You can use all types of braid without any problems.
I didn't even think to make the connection about Brian though he told me last week he was going over there. He's a great gopher!! ;D
I hope he has lots of room. Looks like hes bringing half their stock back with him. LOL Grandt rods sure are popular on this site. Greatest rod in the world,IMO.
I have all the rods and I am on my way back home. Should be hitting my door step about 10 pm tonight.
woo hoo
Fed Ex has nothing on you man!
RODS ARE NOW AT MY HOUSE

Perfect for fish soup.

As usual run out of work, hook up the boat, leave camera on counter, and catch a big fish. Story of my life.
Well you've seen one 9lb walleye, you've seen them all
Pretty sure I can be at the ramps by 4 if I know which one. Thx.
plans are now 3 @ elizabeth park. River Rat you're also more than welcome to jump in the boat if you would like.
