What's Expensive - 07/08/17 04:02 PM
for a rod? I started out with a Academy $39 kit and after casting it thinking I will never get this down. A few weeks go by and I decide to step up to a rod with a carry tube so I bought Cabelas 5wt combo(which I still use for river fishing)and after casting it was like night and day from the cheap rod. I use this one for a while and doing well with it but then a TFO 5wt with Sage reel came up for sale on this site and I thought if the Cabela was better than my first rod then could this one make any difference? Ok now I am seeing the pattern here because with the TFO I'm starting to feel like a pro and then an 8wt TFO with Sage reel came up for sale and I bought that one and again wow, I can cast that thing the proverbial mile. Here's what I'm getting at, will a 400.00-700.00 rod be that much better in feel and casting than my 200.00 TFO?
