soupyjc2 4 Report post Posted May 6, 2016 Got an Okuma Helios Hx-40 and I'm looking for a new rod to put it on. I use it mainly for kayak fishing and land-based. It's currently on a 7' daiwa laguna. any suggestions for a new rod? I've been told Star rods are good. Any others out there? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wesinatl 1 Report post Posted May 6, 2016 Hurricane Calico Jack is a great value. Around $50-$55. Based on the price of your reel you may want to go with a Red Bone. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pickgrin 1,126 Report post Posted May 6, 2016 Hurricane Calico Jack at $59 is the best value for a pretty good rod. Star Stellar Lite and Hurricane Red Bone are a small step up and nice rods for $99. You can spend a hell of a lot more for even nicer rods - but if you are on a budget, then these are all good options. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
