some people like to have the best. my lil cousin got a snoopy rod and he can out fish any grown man at the lake.
there is a reason why the expensive stuff is $$$$, because it is made with very nice material..have you seen what a vansteel looks like, in the internals> never mind the material its made with.
i dont spend enough time on the water to justify such a $$$ reel,, i am happy with my penn and walmart special ugly stick..
..it works for me.
