Only thing that mattes is that you like it. Used properly (line strength and bait weight) you will quickly know if it was a good buy. Some of my favourite rods are my least expensive. 1) Crucial Jig n Worm 2) Fenwick elitetech (original black and yellow) got on clearance from lebaron. Probably my fa...
