Watch the classified on the fishing forums you can usually score a good deal this time of year. Best of luck

Every one has their opinions on what rods are best for them. A custom is the best rod for you, so you should discover that by trying out rods until you find the right one. You should sit down and figure out exactly the type of fishing you are going to be doing, lures used, etc.
In addition, regarding longevity, I would check warranty information and ask around how others were treated when they had issues.
Hope this helps.
