    Default Mid-price salt water rod

    Looking for a modestly priced 12 wt rod. Sage Maverick or Scott Tidal? Any other thoughts?

    There should be at least a dozen 12 weights that are $300 to $500.

    Redington Predator 12 is $349 a good series.

    I've posted the value of the 12wt.Primal Mega Salt from Manic Tackle in N.Z.before but have no hesitation in recommending it again.This is a no-nonsense well-built rod series that offers mighty bang-for-your-buck.The reel seats are fully machined aluminium with titanium SIC stripper guides and corrosion resistant snake guides.This is my 12wt.for GT's btw.They sell for $499AUD ($359USD)...here's a review from Flylife magazine (Australia).

    What are you going to fish for.... I ask... I have a TFO blue water MD which rated as a 11/12. I just sold the HD which is a 14/15wt.
    The MD can handle big fish like yellow fin, huge roosters and even a few sail fish.
    The price is $85.00 + shipping. Send me a PM if you want photo's. Don't know how to post photo's on this site
