no one needs a 300 & Im not a fan of any two piece rod.

Standing on the water, casting your bread
While the eyes of the idol with the iron head are glowing
Distant ships sailing into the mist
You were born with a snake in both of your fists while a hurricane was blowing

The issue isn't a 2pc rod as there are many FINE 2pc rods out there but the fact that you're paying normal price for a VS reel and getting a free Chinese rod with the Lami name

I have looked at that combo many times and from the picture it looks like a good rod, there are places were you could use a 300.
I think if there was a clearer pic. of the rod it would be better. who said it was made in china?

Skits---I don't know anything about those rods, but here's a big clue, at least to me---when something is "engineered" by a company, it normally means they don't make it themselves.

And if Lami doesn't make it in Washington, it comes from across the really big pond.

And the only 10' rods that a VS 300 "perfectly balances" are a Harnell 552 or a Lami SB 121 5M.

Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools, because they have to say something.

Chief, I would be willing to bet you could become a fan if you try an allstar 1265-2 that Saltheart wrapped for me.......it has surprised a number of the Cutty crew that I let try it.

Why did you want a two piece?

Where would you need a 300, Besides continental shelf topwater YFT. Even then I would go with the 275 for any offshore trips
