[QUOTE="Dr. Tad Hussein Winslow, post: 1246118, member: 7123"] really worth the extreme extra money to the average occasional fisherman, over a $15 Shakespeare rod? Academy has some nice graphite rods 1/2 off right now (clearance sale), but just the rod would still be two to three times the cost of basic rod/reel combo that I use and like, even when 1/2 off. What in the HECK do they DO for that extra $75-$100 more? Give you a footrub after the trip? Heck, even these high-dollar rods on clearance don't even secure each eyelet with two 'bases' (instead of one), except for just the first eye, which has two bases (four 'arms'). Certainly doesn't scream 'quality' to me. I understand full well the 'whys' involved in the variety of gun configurations available for hunting. But for the life of me, I have never been able to figure out the need for the extreme variety of choices out there in rods and reels, and why anyone would shell out $300-$400 for the Johnny Redneck Bumpkin signature reel, or a $200 rod. But then again, I ain't the sharpest tool hangin in the shed. [/QUOTE]
