Which rod do you think is better? I was leaning towards lews but then I saw the carbonlite combo and it looked better, plus if i got the combo it would be cheaper than me pairing up a tp1 and a mach 1 speed spool. They seen to be very similiar rods and reels.

They probably are the same just asthetics are different. Dig around and I'm sure you can find out who makes bass pros rods and reels. 

Pq/carbonlite share tooling and parts with lews and pure fishing brands. Rods are outsourced all over as far as I can tell
