Its crazy I tell you! My 1st Allstar rod cost a bit over $100 in 1992. The joke was making monthly payments on a fishing pole back then. Of course they were the finest rods on the market in my opinion. That IM-6 graphite was cutting edge LOL. Sadly that rod is sleeping with the fishes on lake Leon in 14' of water, after days of dragging that area I finally had to let her go. Funny I can still see it falling in.
