Picked up a new Revo SX at the BPS reel trade in. need something really light to pair it with to use on my kayak. Looking for something that is good all around so i dont have to carry more than 2 or 3 rods. The other rod would be a medium spinning rod for finesse techniques.
I'm considering:
BPS Carbonlite (possibly with Micro Guides)
Abu Veritas (possibly with Micro Guides)
St Croix Mojo Bass
St Croix Rage
TFO Gary Loomins Signature series
TFO Gary's Tactical rods
Open to other suggestions that are sold at BPS

I've used the Carbonlite and the Veritas...both very nice sticks.

I love the carbonlite, it is a great rod, but the guides are so cheap. Most of mine broke off in the first few months. If you get that rod get standard eyelets. The Veritas is a great stick as well, I broke mine castign a swimbait that was at least twice the recommended weight of the rod. I say go for a Veritos and get the warrenty. Wither way get the warrenty, they will eventually break, but for cheap bass rods you can't go wrong with either (except the microguides on the Carbonlite).

Yeah I think i've narrowed it down to the Veritas, Carbonlite, and St Croix Rage. For $65, the Veritas is hard to ignore. I already have a Carbonlite spinning rod and I like it. The Rage looks so sleek and light but is it really worth twice as much as a veritas?

TFO Gary Loomins Signature series
Or
Shimano Compre
If you plan on breaking rods these have the best warranty.
