You can easily spend $200. + hard earned dollars on a very nice St. Croix, Shimano or similar high end rod, or you can spend $79. on the equivalent Ugly Stik Elite series rod and be very happy, for on average a 1/3 of the cost.

If Shakespeare made longer sizes, I'd… read more have each of them in my fleet of rods.
