Look at some of the combos being sold out there...the rod can be halfway decent, sometimes not, and the reel cheap as crap, yet because someones name is attached to the rod they justify the higher cost.
And that name wouldn't happen to be GENZ would it .....LOL.. ...WK
In all honesty... there's nothing wrong with using a "cheap" rod. If it feels good in your hand, and you catch fish with it...USE IT!!!! I have rods that I paid a lot more than I probably should have than my cheapest ones and they don't catch any more fish than the much cheaper ones that I started out with. 99.9% of catching fish is your technique (presentation) and you have to match that to the specie and conditions. I'm not saying that a sensitive rod is not necessary or that a stiffer rod isn't necessary if your fishing deep and you need to set a hook on a large fish...it's just that $$$ spent on a rod won't make a difference if you don't put the right offering down there, albeit lure size, jig (tipped or not) whether or not you're jigging too fast/slow etc.etc. A high dollar rod is nice but it's not your saviour......WK
I agree after you spend all the money on the flasher the auger and a hut it pays to have a decent rod and reel something that will last for years. If you fish enough each season quality equipment will pay for it self. Has anybody tried the new tb quiver stick yet it supposed to be more sensitive then the power noodle which is a great rod.
They don't have alot of stuff on their website. I am waiting for the hardwater series to show up also. It their new production model. I talked to Matt today and I believe they are working on their 2nd shipment of quiversticks now. Should have them out soon.
