Thread: Denali Pryme 16' trolling rods

I've been using them for the last 3 months. Super light weight, great tip and strong backbone.. The white helps on light bites as well. A+ poles

cost?

They can't be 3 times better than my Southern Crappie Rods. Like rock said even if they are really good the cost in my opinion for the average fisherman is to high.

Well let me through my 2 cents in. Ain't nothing good cheap & ain't nothing cheap good ! Don't let price swade you . You pay for what you get.

I don't completely agree with that, a lot of time the price is hi because of ad campaigns, pro staffs, etc etc ect. A fair price isn't necessarily cheap and in the case of the Southern Crappie rods Ed chooses not to follow the road of hipe in order to keep the price down on a quality pole. The Denali poles are nice but from what I have seen as far as retail pricing not for me. Grizzly Jig did make a Facebook post the other day about having them for a fair price, might check there, I haven't called cause I'm not interested in them. Best suggestion there is would be to get your hands on a couple and fish with them before ordering and see if you like them.

Bass rod company making crappie rods not a crappie rod company making crappie rods. I suspect they are good but it would take alot of convincing for me to give up the capps and colemans. Not sure that white color would do my eyes any good on the water......

I have used nearly every rod made for Crappie. The Denali's are the best I have ever used. The quality of the rod was apparent when I first picked it up....light as a feather but also very solid. Like Cray said, the cost may be too prohibitive for the average fisherman but for the SERIOUS Crappie fisherman who takes pride in his equipment and wants a rod that will give him the absolute best chance possible for catching a fish then the Denali's are what he is looking for. Don't get me wrong, I love my Capps & Coleman's but there are only certain conditions where I use them. The Denali's are the best "all around" rods out there and are only a few dollars more than an "average" rod. This is a case where you definitely get what you pay for.

At 90.00 per rod, my current set up is just fine.
And by the way, just because you own and fish with very expensive gear does not mean yhat your anymore serious than the next fisherman.
Matter of fact, my 8 HT's 14ft rods performed very well at Lake Washington. And the wife and I brought home the couples title and a overall 6th place finish.

Wonder if them fancy poles would have made us better fishermen?
