I agree with the NRX. You never see people selling them... I don't know what the most sensitive rod in the $250 range is, most of the rods I have in that priceRange are very similar. And pretty sensitive, nothing like an NRX though. I love mine and wish I had a few more. PB 10.58 Joe Pool | | | Re: most sensitve worm rod under 250.00 ??

I have mega bass rods, falcon, Duckett, other G Loomis rods, etc. I also have a power tackle rod that is about as sensitive as the NRX. But to me the NRX is the most sensitive I can feel my way through little sticks and stumps or piles of sticks in deeper water and not get hung up when dragging a jig or a T rig with my other rods I tend to get hung up more or set the hook unnecessarily. But that's just been my experience. PB 10.58 Joe Pool | | | Re: most sensitve worm rod under 250.00 ??

Bought my first in 1995 then they started the IMX series soon after, then so on...They are worth the money and weigh little to nothing, very addicting once you realize you can hold them 8 to 10 hours a day and never feel sore.

These rods are fantastic rods. They are probably the lightest rods on the market, but yet they're super durable and sensitive. This rod could easily pass a $300+ rod. The Amistad special is a great worm rod and it has enough finesse for casting and power for getting those fish out of heavy cover. I definitely recommend this rod!

You can try one for free at Reel Time Rods. If you don't like it no harm no foul. The only way to know anything about other rod blanks is by feeling them for yourself, this allows you to do just that without commitment to buying. The lifetime warranty is also a testament to the quality of the rod. | | | Re: most sensitve worm rod under 250.00 ??

There is always one on deck with Texas rigged soft plastic, always. Balance, light, sensitive, it just feels good throwing worms all day. Nice thing about this rod is it is great at lots of techniques but really shines when casting, flipping or casting plastics. Best all around/do anything rod I own. I would go with the 735 or 736 if I was always throwing larger jigs or BIG plastics constantly but for daily soft plastics it shines.

Every rod listed will be a good rod and do the job. I personally use Kistler (Argon) and think they are a great rods. As long as you buy quality it wont really matter which brand it is. You don't have to break the bank for to get a good rod. IMO your best feel for bites is through your line. A rod can only give you feedback based on the input from the line you are using. | | | Re: most sensitve worm rod under 250.00 ??

Can be had for right around $250. I have heard of other rods that are better for less...just haven't tried them all. If you go to Southwest Service in Dallas, they have a rack of rods that are always 50% off. I once saw a GLoomis Edge rod on there for $240. If it was what I was looking for I would have bought it. Instead, I bought a Steez rod for $280. It's a place that is certainly worth the drive. With a budget of $250, you could wind up with a $500 COMBO! Or a $500 rod. Saving some money or just making it stretch into a whole new level of gear. I have been dropping by that place for years. From time to time. And always find a screaming deal. Eat. Sleep.

Can be had for right around $250. I have heard of other rods that are better for less...just haven't tried them all. If you go to Southwest Service in Dallas, they have a rack of rods that are always 50% off. I once saw a GLoomis Edge rod on there for $240. If it was what I was looking for I would have bought it. Instead, I bought a Steez rod for $280. It's a place that is certainly worth the drive. With a budget of $250, you could wind up with a $500 COMBO! Or a $500 rod. Saving some money or just making it stretch into a whole new level of gear. I have been dropping by that place for years. From time to time. And always find a screaming deal. Hey man don't give away all of my secrets! lolThat's how and where I got my NRX, they had brand new ones half price at one time a few years ago. I bought a megabass orixx brand new 1/2 price also about a year ago. They have some great deals on rods (new and used) and on used reels, I make it a point to stop in there every couple of months just to see what else I need...

The American Tackle Matrix blank is the most sensitive Tx-rig worm rod I've ever personally fished. For $250 you can get a custom rod done up just the way you want it. There are a lot of fine builders on this site who can help you. For your price range I highly recommend the Fuji "K" series Alconite guides. My top 5 most sensitive blanks in your price range I've used are, in order: American Tackle MatrixRainshadow Eternity 2Phoenix K2 (a little pricey for your range)MHX High ModulusNorth Fork CompositesP.S. Kistler's are quality rods made in the great state of Texas, you'll enjoy that rod.  I say we fish 5 days a week and work 2. | | | Re: most sensitve worm rod under 250.00 ??

It had Seguar yellow label 12lb test, and handled everything I threw at it.  - Free Lay-Away - Gift Certificates - Special Orders
