Thanks guys.

North River from FMS is a good cheapie( 65 bucks on sale).

A heavy Lami at Bi-Mart yesterday was similar to the NR. Quite a bit heavier than the Buzz rod. Priced at 80 bucks. Joes may have them, but I have not been there in a while.

Loomis makes several that should make the cut and are quite sensitive to boot.

Get Bent knows of a couple who's names escape me right now. All Star I think....

What is your friend doung with them? If it is herring at Tilly, or Divers at B-10, then super sensitive is not paramount. Springers below Bonnie may require a stick with a more delicate touch. Like the Loomis.

Good Luck.

Mark and the dog.
