I'm glad someone feels the same way I do. Where were you when I was being accosted by the rod snobs? lol To be honest it was hard for me to justify spending $40 on my AMP and $40 on the Lightning I got just yesterday. That being said, I'm glad I did. Just hard to believe that $ outweighs experience.

Who accosted you ?????????

It was a joke, or did you not figure that out?

"Where were you when I was getting accosted by the rod snobs?"

I was getting more experience.

Don't get me wrong, I have a $300 Daiwa Ciello that I got for $100, and that thing is niiiiiiiice to fish, but I enjoy fishing with my 6 ft med shakespeare Platinum spinning rod just as much, and I'm not afraid to break it.

On my trip to Table Rock this weekend I went to the Original Bass Pro Shops, sweet store! The even sweeter store though is next door. (The Bass Pro outlet store) Got 2 Vendetta rods for $40 each Now I have extra rods, lol
