[QUOTE="user 18775, post: 446451, member: 18775"] It was never about the price tag or the logo. Fishing rods are all about the feel. Ugly Stiks never felt right to me. 40 years ago I worked in a bait and tackle shop. I built a Lamaglass ultralight rod, and got a Fenwick HMG graphite bass rod for Christmas. Both are still sticking fish on a regular basis. I have added a couple of Shimano and BPS rods to the mix. For years all of my baitcaster reels were the same. All Abu 5500c. It made life easy. Now I am playing with a $70 low profile Abu with magnets. Do not know if it will last, but it seems to be able to skip jigs under docks. [/QUOTE]
