Quote:Its true your fishing style is going to determine what rod and action type you want but when you spend 600+ dollars on a rod your locked into that rod unless you have endless amount of money the rod determines how you fish there's really no experimenting with getting new rods and creating your own style
Any shop worth their salt should allow you to cast several different rod models head to head to see which one is best. The only time I would ever consider ordering the rod if it is a rod have have thrown beforehand. Not all $600 dollar rods are the same. Companies offer high end rods in faster and softer actions. WInston's idea of a fast action rod is different than that of, say, Sage. It may be worth the extra few buck to cast different rods before buying it than ordering it online at a discounted.
