I was born in St Thomas usvi sooooo. Either my brother or I... (mic drop) Vermont... Bill Spence won many big events as a Boater and Co. Gilbert Gagner is the only guy to win the TBF National championship as a boater and a co.

Feel in my hand when a spooled reel is attached. Company reputation for standing behind their products. That's it. I've got a $100 discontinued Lamiglas rod that is nicer (to me) than a current Dobyns Champion in the same configuration. Is it "technically" better than the Dobyns? Heck no but I love it. Just like any tool or piece of equipment, it's the relationship you have with it that determines how "good" it is.
