like most that have been there and done that I can see both sides of the coin.. all to often someone will see a friend etc fly fishing and say.. wow.. Id really like to do that.. and they are so anxious to get into they go in with both feet and not realize what they are getting into.. that is why I bought the wally world that I did.. to make sure this was for me.... as time went by and talking to others and handling other rods etc you come to appreciate the value of the middle to upper end rods.. meaning the value is in the workmanship.. and the quality of the upper end product... its once you realize this difference and you make the committment to the art of fly fishing that one can justify the cost of upper end rods and reel..
as an alternative the angler who is still working their way to that point but at the same time realize that the wally world is just not that adequate does have the option of the mid level rods being offered by a lot of manufacturers such as the sage launch... or their new bass and crappie series they are offering.. still the same quality that they are know for.. still the same research and trial and error as their higher end rods.. but affordable for the average user like me who would love to own the boos, and the glass, and the composites offered at a higher price but still have to live within their means..
tbh I envy anyone who can afford and use the higher end products.. but in most cases, as seen on this site and others, the ones that have the higher end equipment are the ones who have attained that upper level in the art of fly fishing.. and use and appreciate the the total value of the equipment that they are using..
