I just got a quantum smoke reel and looking to get the matching rod but im not sure what to get. 6ft 3in medium action for $95 or 6ft 6in medium action for $138. What would be the main difference in those 3 inchs? otherwise it looks like the rods are completely identical. how could 3 inchs make that much of a price difference. ive always pretty much just stuck with 6'6 med spinning rods for all my general bass fishing but i dont think i want to pay all that extra money if there really isnt much of a difference. any suggestions?

Where are you buying from? Amazon is notorious for pricing certain models cheaper than others in order to clear stock..

You can but the 7'0 version on a certain fleebay site for $75.00
