What brand of rods do you guys have experiences with and what do you recommend? I have Eagle rods right now, but need to upgrade.

Which would you choose between:

CROWER?
CARILLO?
MANLEY?

Any other questions, feel free to ask.

 

no opinions?

 

Ask Stan (Flamenco-T) what he thinks of crower rods lol!

I would suggest Manley or Pauter.

any one of those rods will handle the power you want to make......heck there are guys making that power on eagle rods......

good luck

 

I have heard that the Eagle rods have a tendency to spin bearings under high power.

 

The likelyhood of bearings spinning under big horsepower is prevelent with all rods.

Try your best not to start your sentence with "I heard" on HT. Thanks.

 

LOL, Ok. After more research, i am going with the Manley Turbo Tuff rods.

 

either pauter or manleys

I know eagle rods are more likely to be the cause of problems at that power level than pauter and manley. Like that? lol And yes, bearing problems can be directly related to rod quality in many situations.

Yea we're comparing apples to oranges again.

 

Right, my point exactly. If your hp = oranges, then don't put apples in the mix.

 

LOL point taken.
