Default crowder?

Anyone have experience with crowder rods? I am lookong to purchase three bent butts with 80 wide tiagras. I have only heard good things about the rods, but never used them myself. Thanks.

Love mine. 80lb straightbutt with a light tip and a strong back.
Performs well under pressure. It would behoove you to see Andy @
Extreme Rods on Lantana rd, just east of congress on the south side of the street. Same quality rod, better price.

Go to Carls Bait and tackle off 95 just west on the south side, they will Take care of you over there. There crowders are one of a kind, trust me and go take a look at them and the price is right. I have over 10 crowders and can't complain about a thing.

We have 6 crowder 20s, 6 50s and 8 80s ... excellent choice. Pick the right ones for your boat (standup/chair). get the 3 piece seats so you can interchange butts.

I have 2 60-100 sword rods, SU6060 i think. They are bad@$$! Plenty of power and perfect for a 50w or 80w. I have one with a straight butt and one bent. All wind on roller guides. So far so good.

Awesome rod's, can't go wrong. They are located in Stuart and will customize certain things if you want (rollers, buts, colors. etc.)

The real seat is not forever, just like every other rod.
