As a youtuber content creator I have the ability to fish whatever I want. I choose to fish Lews Rods and Reels. When I played golf I used all titleist gear. I've had tons of experience with duckett rods and they rank among my favorite. Some people love them some hate them. Here is my review on why I am a lover not a hater

im glad i listened to you years ago and bought my self one. Its been 5 years running on the same rod. I love it.. esp pairing it with that lews hyper mag.. man its so LIGHT
you should just flat out do whatever I say.....
I just bought a Duckett Silverado about a month and a half ago. Been great so far. I caught a 6.2lber a couple weeks back while in my kayak. I hooked the bass and it swam right under the side of my boat bent my rod almost in half. Rod took it like a champ so I have no complaints.
Nice man! Caught my pb on one!
I have have 5 Duckett Micro Magic Pros, 1 Ghost and 1 Silverado, they all kick butt!
The Silverado is a Med/ Fast casting and I have hauled 4-5 pounders out of some heavy cover and it was flawless. This is a great value for $99.00 where the old Ghost line used to be.
Their lightweight, sensitive feel and consistency has been helpful in catching more fish.
Hey love your content , Bought my first Duckett rod today, got the Triad 7’6 heavy fast action, excited to start using it, keep up the videos, tight lines.
ooooh I think you will like that rod a bunch!....pair that with a hypermag and you'll never want to fish anything else!!!
My new favorite rod series is the CastAway Skeleton Nano series. Best rod on the market under $150. Ive never seen a rod under $150 be so sensitive. Highly recommend!
Have a sucker ghost myself , was given as a gift with no receipt or warranty, been 1 year. Fished with it a ton and love it..... buuuuuuut...... 5 guides are currently missing off of it. You always know when one breaks when you are casting and all of a sudden on the next cast you hear a little jingle on the end of your pole. Sucks but I do love the rod. Their guide design sucks bad though
We bass fish quite a bit and my buddy bought a couple duckett rods which I thought had a gimmick look to them and I totally disregarded them and I'll have to say when I finally picked them up I was really impressed. He also bought some st croix mojo rods and I really like them both. The price range is really good and both of them are a good step up from a lot of entry level hundred dollar rods. Spend and extra 20 to 40 dollars and get them if your just starting out I think you will be pretty pleased.
I have a 7’ med heavy duckett with a guide broke second from the bottom. I couldn’t take it back cause my warranty was up. But I’ve been using it like that for over a year now and knock on wood it’s still holding up. I love duckett rods I will always use them. I also have a 7’ heavy duckett paired with a 9.3:1 abu Garcia revo Rocket I use for jigs, frogs and 10 inch worms and to just throw around think grass but she is a beauty.
Lew's is also My favorite rods Period low profile Reels, solid Strength..Just got Lew's mach crush, and The Lew's team Lew's Custom black rod, but Duckett is Definitely a really Good rod, good company too.
I've used Duckett Medium Spinning Rods and MH casting rods (Terex, Micro Magic and now Triad) for the past 5 or 6 years. For the price they're hard to beat for what you get. A good combination of value and performance. I would shy away from the older white Ghosts though. I've had friends break them but I've never had any problems with those I outlined above.
St. Croix, though, takes my personal favorite for glass cranking rods. ;)
I just got a 7' terex med ivy frog rod but seems a lil soft for heavy cover froggin. Its the perfect rod to throw swimjigs imo. Love it so far
I have a 12 year old duckett micro magic in 7'6" Heavy with the full cork and it's still my favorite rod to this day. Even after replacing many micro guides on it myself...
12 years!!! wow.. I will tell you I have struggled to replace the crankin stick......it is by far the best I've ever used.....and is also killer....albeit long for spinner baits.
Realizing you’re a Lews guy now, I appreciate your review of the Duckett. I have a number of them and really like them. I’ve had one guide come off, but was able to glue it back on and it’s still in service.
That “Whooweee!” remix was nice 😂😂
Ya I pull 8 pound snakeheads out of the florida slop with no problem with my $35 berkly cherrywood HD and a Abu Garcia black max all from Walmart for under $100
I just bought a duckett incite. It’s been awesome so far
I am a big duckett fan always have been any time I have had an issue they have taken care of me no questions asked I have always been really picky when it comes to the rods I use that’s why I stick with Duckett lews and dobyns 80% of all the reels I use are lews I do have a shimano here and there and a few revo mgxtreme tossed in there lol but I feel as far as price point Duckett offers very affordable rods you won’t have to break the bank and your getting a damn good rod
Top brands are all nice...lews needs to add some more lower speed options tho
I own the ghost and white ice. Zero problems out of both. Rods are light as a feather! Most sensitive rods on the market by far
They are wicked light i love them
I've been using the Duckett ghost rods and triad rods for a couple years never had a problem will buy more
i truly love them and hope i represented the rod well here
Beyond The Bounds You did is seems to me the only duckett rod with line guide problems is the micro magic rods
I have the same rod I also 5 of the ghost never had a issue with any of my duckett rods, love the hook setting power, light rod and strong, I did break a tip but totally my fault not the rod, I pair all my ducketts with curado and curado DC reels, now some of my buddy’s have had issue with there’s but me personally no issues.
Danny B that’s the set ups I use the micro Magic’s and curados and they are the juice bro!
Sore Lip City hell yes they are. Good, dependable rods and reels. How about that hook set!! Lmao hook them girls so hard that the hook goes all the way through the side plate of their mouths !! Can’t go wrong with that.
I have 2 Duckett Silverado casting rods, lightweight and sensitive!
I love ducketts honestly
Awesome channel thank u for the information.
The Hypermag plus that rod, would be an amazing setup!!!
thats the set up i use for my jigs.. i LOVE it
the hypermag just does things too me tingly sensations in my body! Love it
I'll buy a duckett once they figure out better guides. I prefer a rod that I don't have to buy a warranty because the guides are going to break 9/10 chance. I'll stick with St Croix right now
Adam Harness it’s already been done
They don’t break anymore dude. You’re way behind on these rods.
You don’t have to buy a warranty Duckett’s come with lifetime warranty I fell in riprap and broke one they replaced it for $20. to cover shipping. That was 4 years ago
I’ve been using Duckett rods for 7-8 years, and it’s true they used to have serious issues, but they’ve corrected those issues in the last few years. My first Duckett had reel seat issues, a very crooked guide train, glue all over the blank, and the rod eventually snapped like a twig on a hook set just below the stripping guide. Duckett sent me a new one free of even a shipping charge (their customer service department is excellent). I starting buying their rods again 3-4 years ago and I’ve had no issues at all with them. Their website says the guide trains have been completely redesigned and the blanks have been improved in several ways. I currently own 4 different models and all the past issues have definitely been corrected. My rods are made up of Shimano’s, St. Croix’s, and Duckett’s, all performing flawlessly. If you’re a wallet conscious angler, the Micro Magic rod is one of the best $140 - $150 rods you can buy, period.
I have the 7ft MH silverado and love that thing
I have a 7'3 MH and 7' MH awesome rods for the money
Has yours faded yellow?
Hunter Childers only at the guide wraps lol
Hunter Childers still love it and have 3 more
The company is pretty good. I've had my own bad luck with them breaking. I fish Gville so getting it taken care of wasnt too bad
I love my Duckett’s I mostly bought macro because the micro guides are so fragile and hard to lace up now I can’t find the macros so I bought White Ice 2 and love them I like my Dobyns rods very much but I think the Duckett’s have the perfect action for Bass I hardly ever lose fish because of the more parabolic actions and softer tips so at half the price I would recommend Duckett’s but warn them to be careful with the guides.
Any tips for early March at Gville? Fishing a high school tourney there on the 5th.
Thanks for the good review
Glad you liked it
I really like the duckett line of rods. Not a big fan of the micro magic. Just don't like the micro guides honestly. but the new jwheel signature series is pretty sick.
From my personal experience - Duckett ranks at the top when it comes to customer service in the industry. Treated me right. My go to Crankin stick. I will buy again.
Dude that crankin stick is straight killer!
Good video!!
Worked at BPS for a few years. Ran the fishing department at my store. I had a few customers that would order G Loomis glx and nrx rods and buy the gear guards for them all. Every 12 months they'd break them and bring them in and replace them. Then buy another $80 gear guard on them all. They did that for the 4 years I was there. They were getting new $500 rods every year for I think it was about $80 a piece. It's actually a good program if you know how to utilize it.
Exactly! One time i had a guy right next to me and we were both holding ducketts....and where exchanging they let him do it no receipt...i had gear guard...i tried that on my next rod with no receipt or gear guard, i purposedly left in the car to test this theory...amd they didnt let me exchange...
Wright & McGill, yellow skeet reice.
Best rods for the money.
Never had one and I only use spinning rods, I like my G loomis , st croix and fenwick HMG rod I got a little while back never had any problems with any of em.
I have 3 Ducketts. Like them.
Duckett makes a good rod but for around the same price I like my G Loomis E6X Rods much better. But god review!
Price is not comparable
I 've taken many rods back to bass pro and never purchased gear guard, They have always given me credit towards a new one of my choice. So you just wasted $40 it's a scam!
Sometimes it depends who you get and the length of time since purchased...they have turned me away before....and yes $40 is spent. They will take bps brands back no question...or purchases under a year old...just my experiences
You must be like me you like light rods that have good sensitivity. I go to is Lew's but I love light rods
Damn! THat is some sand aggie logic right there!!!! Love your channel man!
Lol sand aggie! New one
Wish duckett would make regular sized guides...or at least semi micro instead of micro. I run braid to leader on all my setups so I can’t use micro guides. Plus, they don’t even increase casting distance anyways. It’s just a sales technique. And then on top of all that I don’t like bare rod on the reel seat. It’s uncomfortable and once again, just another sales tactic that doesn’t actually perform aka not more sensitive.
Now that I think about it idk why would even want to try a duckett lol.
Lol
Well known companies like Loomis and St Croix will replace a rod no questions asked for $40 you just have to ship the broken one to them.... you can shut it in your car door, slam it against the gunnel, step on it or get pissed and break it over your knee after losing a fish... doesn't matter for 40 bucks it's replaced for the lifetime of the rod I'll take that situation instead of buying a warranty...
Don't warrants not cover rods broken by boat flipping, breaking it in your car or deliberately breaking it.
@@FacelessRods no questions asked warranties are what companies like G.Loomis and St Croix have....
But a lot of people believe that the initial price of the rod pretty much covers the first replacement because they are so expensive
Can’t beat them for the price just not the older white ghost version broke several of them
If you can find the 2nd gen white ghost then you're good..but they replaced that line up with the Silverado..no complaints on that
Do you still have your bass boa
oh yeah...thats my baby! she ain't going no where....will sell my house before I sell my boat hahaha
The thing is, when Duckett told me they do not warranty their guides for any reason, that was a deal breaker. If they used industry proven name brand guides instead of no name whatever’s, then I might stand behind that with some peace of mind. I find it absurd that I would have to pay my local rod builder to fix my rod guides because of poor quality guides Duckett doesn’t stand behind. They are however, very nice people at Duckett, and their rods are fun to fish with. It’s just hard to invest with them, when you have companies like St. Croix who are much further ahead of the industry.
Well said. Very professional and polite way to represent your opinion. I respect all you have said here! and Agree! Tight Lines Buddy
I had a Duckett and it was my absolute favorite. It broke my heart when I was throwing a 1/2 oz weighted worm and it snapped in half. I never knicked it or closed the door on it or anything. Maybe it was just a lemon but I lost confidence. Guns Up and Wreck ‘Em!
Man some products no matter who makes them just have flaws...happens when things are massed produced....sucks when you get one but good companies like lews and duckett take care of their customers
How do you avoid grass getting caught up in the micro guides especially the first guide at the top of the rod
It never reaches there when reeling
@@BeyondTheBoundsOutdoors It did on mine but I have the original micro magic. Haven't used the pro version I think you mentioned in the video the guides were a little bit bigger?
Not really they are micro guides....but regardless of the rod that has never happened to me even keepin my rod low.
Well i had some grass reach my guide this week!...but im not using micro guides...just part of it i guess
@@BeyondTheBoundsOutdoors My 7ft duckett micro cranking rod is what I use alot, I mostly like fishing cranks. Occasionally I like to use a soft plastic or a a top water frog. Could I get away landing them using that rod or just use the medium heavy for those other applications
Is this from Boyd Duckett??
Yup
DUCKETT FISHING has FIXED most of the guide problems check on the micro guided rods they have came out with new guides that should be on most of the rods except the rods that been on the self for over a year
awesome! I hope I didn't give the impression they were bad? I tried to be as fair and honest as possible, based on my experiences and those of others. I simply love them and would have every rod be a duckett.
I was unaware of these changes. I would be happy to give Duckett another look. That’s reassuring to hear.
I personally own the new versions of rods and I haven’t broke a guide yet I fish tournaments just abt every weekend and put my rods tru the wringer
No tournament videos this year?
My bad. I didn't get the notification.
I do have one in the works...i stunk it up but fishing the next week improved i heard
I have never had a problem with any of my 5 micro magic pro's. And I beat the shit out of them. I'll boat flip 5 pounders with my 7' and 7'3" medium heavy's.
Duckett says the tips and guides are NOT covered under warranty. That’s disappointing.
G Loomis, nuff said! Boooom
Not everyone has a budget for 300-400$ rods . For a 130$ rod they are hard to beat imo
St croix mic drop
Hey buddy
Hey
How many have broken on you??
zero rods but plenty of guides.....and I'd still buy them
You're still out $160 if you get it replaced, unless they let you keep the broken one and even then...you still are stuck with a broken rod. The math doesn't work AT ALL, unless you get your money back, AND get a new rod.
Well if you didn't replace it....you would be out 160...the. another 160 to get another rod...so...
Cool rod. Never had one never will not the greatest quality
I have a 6’8 Duckett Silverado medium heavy. Can anyone tell me what the heaviest weighted lure I can use on it?
WRECK EM
FYI the Duckett Micro Magic’s float even with a reel on it.
Stephen Nobes Nope they don’t lost my 7 foot medium Duckett MicroMagic with a lews reels on it dropped in the water and it was gone they deff don’t float
Numerous friends of mine have always told me to never buy a ducket rod and now i know why. If the company knows that the guides are garbage then why don't they upgrade them? I'll stick with my Fitzgerald rods, thanks...
lews is a good company
160 for the road then 40 for gear guard. Then break rod and take it back you still have 1 rod that you paid 200 bucks for. Wow you make my head hurt man.
No you get the 160 back.
So they give you a new rod and 160 back? I don't see them doing that.
@@racetrucks10 they give you your $160 back....to do what ever you want. you could literally fish the rod for 11 mos....smash it....take it back to BPS and they'll give you your $160 back....and you'll have fished a rod for nearly 2yrs for $40......ducketts return policy is pretty good too...for like 5yrs if it breaks...send it back..like just the handle area and for $20-40 they'll replace it...I liked the BPS gear guard b/c I live close to BPS...and could just walk in and get my $160 and buy another rod....or baits or whatever.
Hi I guess you don't get that warranties if you buy your duckett rod on ebay
So buy a rod that will take a shit on you for sure so you can then waste your time going through the hassle of replacing it for what now? Or just buy something like a Dobins.
Not trying to be too negative but for the price i dont think the ducket rods are worth it, the eyes break off easily, for a $160 rod you get a $5 reel seat. the blank itself is good but they went cheap on the parts that matter the most
Hey man that is your opinion and you are welcome to it here. Sounds like it is based on experience with the rods and I definitely have had similar experience.
Imo ducketts are super awesome rods until they break and it's just a matter of time.
Of course he is sponsored by Lews and recommends the most expensive reel they make,
And whats wrong with that? You must have missed the vid about the $40 lews rod i did that was completely unsponsored....and i still tell everyone to buy that rod
Scamming
they dont break they just half ass put them on. they dont warranty it. only for "manufacturing defects" what happens is the epoxy and thread tying down the guides are cheap chinisium stuff. and how is a rod "manufactured"? they get a blank. and tie on guides , and glue on seat and handles. but they dont cover it for guides. pretty worthless imo.
Man you are brain washed Lews is the work rods and reels ever so cheap and break easy
NOT a fan of Duckett
Most either love or hate
"The guides are most likely going to fail and the reel seat can be suspect, but you should buy this rod over all the other good choices out there???" I admire your honesty, but your logic and recommendations are utter nonsense.
Garbage rod
