Fenwick HMG. I personally feel that all of these are better rods for the same or not much more money than a Mojo bass. Some of them significantly better than the Mojo.

I been looking at a gold Googan Squad rod to try out but for 160 to 180 I think I could get something from a brand with more years in the business that could maybe exceed the quality of the gold rods. 

So far lew's, abu and 13 fishing rods have been good to me but maybe it's time to get something with better quality. I'll be using this rod as a dedicated texas rig set up. 

Any input will be appreciated.

If you had 180 US Dollars to buy a 7'2 to 7'4 Medium Heavy fast rod for Bass fishing. What brand would you consider?

 Good looking fish. Thanks for the fight back, you go. Now that that does two things. Number one, it allows me to know what that lure is doing and where it's going

 Toss it, pulling it, giving it some good action. Then I change direction and that's where I get the strike right here. Pop and I've got the control of that fish. With this rod

 You'll see with more power how that blink responds. It's got that deep arc in it as it fires out and hits on target. Let's see how she works on some fish here so I'm taking it out about 30 yards. I'm gonna bring it down towards the water top in order to keep it low

 Rod has great performance when it comes to controlling fish, getting them up to me so I can deal with them and get them back into their environment. As light and nimble as this rod is, I'm really happy with the amount of control I get on the fish to get them up out of the water just so we're not damaging them or causing them over exhaustion. And right here you see a nice little brown trout and we'll let them go and move on. My final question on this rod would be would I spend my hard earned money on another one if I saw it in stores? If I'm being totally honest, I haven't seen this rod sold in storage yet

Fenwick Elite HMG 6 Month Review

 As far as fishability, the rod was plenty sensitive for decting pickups of both Spotted and Smallmouth bass on our canoe trips. I caught close to 60 spotted bass in AR and the two rods, caught close to 130 smallmouth in MN.  The fact it comes with a second tip is great. The M/L is probably closer to a M/ML and the Mediuim tip is a little heavier than a M/M, but that is subjective on my part

Worth the money

The weight and feel of this rod is excellent for a 3 piece travel rod. It’s light, has nice action with each of the 2 tips. My only issue is with the size of the rod guides. The one closest to the reel is usually much larger than the other guides; this one is not

 My only issue is with the size of the rod guides. The one closest to the reel is usually much larger than the other guides; this one is not. The rod will not cast far due to the friction from the line and first rod guide. If the size was an inch wider, it would be like every other spinning rod made, and cast significantly farther

Nice rod, but one big flaw

  The reel seat The reel seat is uplocking on the HMG whereas it's downlocking on the Energy. I prefer the downlocking reel seat as the transition between reel and rod grip is more seamless, particularly if you think about where you grip the rod, the uplocking mechanism tends to be right where you grip the rod which means you're holding the fastening screws in your hand instead of holding the rod grip.  The rod blank The rod blank on the HMG is very thick on the lower end and it has a very fast taper up towards the tip, whereas the Energy is thinner lower down and has a gradual taper up towards the tip. The Energy is a slightly more powerful rod rated in the Medium/Medium Heavy range so would expect it to be thicker than the HMG but that is not the case

 I prefer the streamline blank of the Energy and feel it is more efficient in terms of use of material. I don't think the HMG needs to be so thick and can only put this down a weaker blank requiring more material for strength. The HMG and Energy both have a carbon blank.  Although I didn't compare the guides or hook keeper on the rods I have to say that based on what I've observed the Energy is a better rod overall and has design features that I prefer as an angler so I wouldn't recommend purchasing the HMG

Fenwick HMG compared to my Shimano Energy Concept

For less money the weight and sensitivity is just as good with a Fenwick HMG, Bass-X, or Dobyns Fury. All three of those rods also feel better balanced because we all agreed that the Mojos all have a butt section that is too short for their length and power. For less money those other three I listed are every bit as good or better, and for similar money or maybe $15 more you are into the range of a Dobyns Sierra, Fenwick Elite Tech, or higher end St Croix.

Gonna be getting one of these bad boys. I'm just not sure what rod to pair it up with. Was thinking of a St Croix Mojobass or maybe take it up a notch with a Shimano Expride. What rod would you guys go with?

 Got it yesterday, took it trout fishing at Lewiston Lake today. It is a flowing body of water with very strong trout, tasty too. I was looking for a few for the table. Landed 4, lost 3, missed at least 6 more, in about 3 hours

 I love the Alien handle, It is very comfortable both casting and fighting, as well as providing direct contact with the blank. It is very secure, with double lock downs. Anyway, this has the kind of power to handle a very nice fish, one weighed 3 lbs and I'd be comfortable with a much larger fish, yet handle the very light leaders needed in this crystal clear water, the length of the rod being a great shock absorber, at the same time as it being sensitive enough to feel the bottom and the bite when drifting a crawler or egg pattern in a riffle. I loved fishing with this rod

The Elite is a bit stiffer than the GX2 and typically costs $10 more, so it’s a great buy for lure fishers. But the GX2 is more versatile and cheaper.

If you need a well-built, lightweight fishing rod that's easy to tote to your favorite fishing hole, look no further than the Ugly Stik Elite. Don't let its small size fool you. It's perfectly strong and has impressive fighting power, which was proven on several occasions when we hauled in fish that were seemingly too big for this rod. This Ugly Stik was also versatile when it came to fishing styles, whether it be dropping a hook with a worm on it or just casting with a lure. It was also one of the best when it came to balancing, sitting comfortably in our hands all day long. 
Although the upsides were plentiful, there were a few downsides to consider. This rod is on the small side, so the casting distance takes a hit. This is to be expected due to the rod's size, but it's still something to think about if most of your fishing involves casting. It also has a fairly short handle, which made two-handed use a little more difficult. Overall, this rod was a pleasure to use. So, if you need a small rod that can handle the rigors of everyday fishing, you might want to give the Ugly Stik Elite a try.

I just bought an Ugly Stik Elite. I have wanted to get a good ultralight rod since I fished on an old crappy one and had a blast reeling in juvenile salmon and a gorgeous Cutty. I have to say I am very happy with the rod so far, I have not yet had a chance to test it out, but the build quality feels excellent for the price, and it looks very smart. I paired it with an old 2500 Sienna, but I may go smaller in the future when I am not a broke boy

 But the thing is you need a fairly large sinker to get to the bottom in the sound thanks to our currents. Since I would be on a boat, there wouldn't be much casting involved. What is the largest weight I could safely put on my rod without snapping it?

 However, that comes at a price.  The rod is pretty strong, and especially light. However it lacks sensitivity, and runs a bit heavy. My ultralight Ugly Stik Elite is more like a light, and my medium heavy is almost a heavy

 I returned the ultralight ugly stik, because sensitivity is key. The medium heavy ones I kept and am very happy with, because they are mostly for bottom fishing and for using some heavy lures.  That is why I say the Ugly Stik Elite should only be bought in Medium or Medium Heavy varieties, for bigger fish, where it is simply the best rod for the price range. Medium and Medium Heavy Ugly Stik elites can catch carp, catfish, big bass, pike, and musky

I returned the ultralight ugly stik, because sensitivity is key. The medium heavy ones I kept and am very happy with, because they are mostly for bottom fishing and for using some heavy lures

One of the best rods in the price range, but a few drawbacks.

 I have been fishing Ugly Stiks for many years now, and I still have the very first one that I bought; The elite is fourth in my collection!

Great Salmon rod!!

 You get what you pay for with this but I will say the cork butt and grip feels very good. Honestly the only reason I’m keeping it without complaints

About what you’d expect

 I use it for crankbaits, jerkbaits, jigging, drop-shotting and drifting baits for walleye. I'll be buying more of the Elite series!

My favorite Ugly stik

 Can cast right on a dime to get into those nice spots between trees, cover, lily pads, etc. Sensitivity is amazing, can feel every little snag against weeds and rocks and eventually you get the feel for it so you just learn to keep reeling gently and almost never snag grass. Have used this for catching bullhead and trout in a rod holder just watching the tip for twitches, shows every little bite. You still get some nice fights, but the rod always lets you bring it in

Great rod
