You´ll never know until you try.

 

My first "good" gear was Silstar ( rods and reel ); one day I tried something different and for years I was a Berkley rods ( Lightning, Bionix, Series One ) + Abu reels customer ( XLT Plus, Cardinal, Black Max ), one day I purchased a Torno and that was the day I no longer purchased Abu; I tried Shimano ( reels and rods ), Daiwa ( reels ) and GLoomis and that´s where I´m at. I´m not going to say that I won´t purchase something different again, actually I did, I tried Olympic/GraphiteLeader, Kistler and St.Croix, the only one I´ve kept from those was Graphite/Leader.

 

The only problem about trying something else is that you may end up with something you don´t like.

.These 2 sentences basically sum it up the whole topic in my opinion. You can play it safe and buy something you know you like. Or you can gamble on something new. Gambling on something new could be a letdown or you could find something you like better. The choice is yours.

If you are able to do so I would suggest you try out the demo program through TW.  It helped me make some decisions that lead to more satisfaction than disappointments.
