One word "durability", Some guys fish weekends, some guys fish one day a week and then some guys like me fish 365 days a year take away a couple for sore throats and 105 fever and even then we still manage to crall out of bed and make a few cast. For me paying a high price for a product that holds up to my needs is worth it. The last thing I need is for something to go wrong with any of my gear. I think thats the diffrence between the $60 product and the $175 product. For some that $60 bag is more then perfect, but for others we need a little more. Im happy to see the prices come down, cause that gives many other fisherman the chance to up grade in there arsenal. This Elite line isn't something that You use and throw away, this is some thing that will last years, and probably will be handed down to your kids and theres.
