Grandt All American Pro Series C10 is an Excellent Spinnerbait Rod!

I seem to break 1 to 3 rods every year no matter what I do so it was no surprise when I snapped the top 8 inches off a fairly new rod recently. I was just really getting into a Grandt Rods All American Pro Series C10 MH 7 foot casting rod that I bought earlier this year. It seemed like it was going to be the perfect spinnerbait rod for me. ...and then I broke it.

That was really when I found out how nice a rod it truly is. I took the reel off and seated it on my previous top brand spinnerbait rod. What a difference. Felt like I was picking up a tree trunk. I was shocked how much heavier this other expensive rod was in comparison. Also a 7 foot rod, but it felt like I had left the weak moon gravity and stepped back onto Earth's 6x heavier atmosphere!!

The next big suprise was on my first cast. I thought maybe I'd had a mini stroke!! Moments before with the Grandt C10, I was feeling everything! The weeds my spinnerbaits bumped, even slightly. Any change in the vibration of the blades including very faint ones. It felt like I'd been driving with power steering and suddenly the pump went out. Moments before, it was easy to tell the soft bites from the weed tops, but now I was back to guessing instead of KNOWING!

I had not noticed how much lighter and more sensitive the Grandt Rod C10 was until I made the instant comparison b switching on the water. That made breaking the C10 that much more disappointing. Thankfully, with their Made in the USA Lifetime Warranty, today I got my new C10 replacement rod. I'm happy again.

If you're looking for a light, but strong and very sensitive 7 foot spinnerbait rod, I would highly recommend the All American Pro Series C10 MH casting rod. Some people might even like it for a crankbait rod or worm rod, but the tip is perfect for me for tossing spinnerbaits over flats and points. I can't wait to get back out this weekend and remember how nice it is to fish with quality, light, sensitive equipment again. Thanks Jim! (And thanks Dave for giving me that loaner for the weekend on St. Clair during the Big Ten event. You're a great guy :) )

Grandt Rods really makes a quality fishing rod. Reminder: if you catch Grandt at one of thie winter fishing shows, you buy your fishing rods at reduced show pricing and lock that price in. I'll post their schedule for this winter once I have it. This is their Shows page, but it has not been updated for 2010 yet.

Help stop invasive spcies. Don't move fish between unconnected bodies of water. Clean, drain and dry your boat before launching on another water body.

Thanks Dan. Don't know if your posting was for my benefit but after talking to you up at Mullet Lake when I was telling you I needed a good spinnerbait rod, I will definitly check them out this winter. See you at the shows.

I have never bought what you would call a quality rod. I'll have to look into them this winter
