Rod Alternatives

[sloppyjoe]

Thanks for all the great input so far. I agree with the people that say you don't need to spend a lot of money to catch lots of fish. I have seen plenty of people with Lamiglas or Loomis rods get outfished by the less expensive rods. I think I can feel more with the better quality rods, and agree with the comments about getting snags off, I give it a few hard pulls, and then aim the rod at the snag and back up until it gives. I think I will stick with the Avid for now and try to decide between a Loomis Steelhead series or the St. Croix Legend Elite. Has anyone tried the Northfork Composite blanks yet?
