We bought 2 a few weeks ago. They don't have as much backbone as our Tightline Specials but they still worked fine for the price. We used the 16'ers. Plenty to horse a large fish on board but noticeable difference when spider rigging and they're in the holder beside other rods.
They were definitely lighter though...
Can't speak to the specific models you mention, but I am a fan of Allstars rods. Used a couple of different models for Salmon/steelhead fishing in the Northwest. With many years of use, they performed and held up perfectly.
Yeah, when I lived on the coast they were the rod of choice for most folks I fished with. Just wondering if these had the spine to spider rig.
Buy Southern Crappie for that price..
I've got 4 of the 16' rods and I've really enjoyed having them in my boat so far. I typically run 8 rods, and plan to replace my other 4 14' rods with the Allstars as soon as I get a little extra play money put back.
They are made in China not in Houston, Texas . For what it's worth
