Recommend new rod for Senkos

Broke my old Lew's Carbon Fire rod. Use it with spinner... primarily Senkos...open water but also in weeds and cover.  Needs to be under $100. Prefer durability over high sensitivity.

Thanks

There are a ton of options for this use. Stick with a 6'6 medium action rod, fast action. Personally I'd buy the Clarus; I've fished one for years and have been quite happy with it. Personally I don't fish Ugly Stiks anymore, and don't like fiberglass in a rod unless I'm tuna or shark fishing. The Elite Uglys are a heck lot better, lighter, and feel more like a graphite rod than a super heavy poorly balanced wet noodle, like the GX2 Uglys.

 

Better Quality/Most Sensitive: Shimano Clarus $80

Most Durable/Least Sensitive: Ugly Stik Elite $50

Sensitive/Strong: Fenwick HMX rods: $80

I love my Dobyns Fury series rod, price under $100. With lifetime warranty too. 

Can’t go wrong 

I've heard those are a very good value.  Probably my next rod.
