I will agree that NO graphite rod should cost $700., but there is a big difference. The HIGH dollar rods are the ones that do the research and development...that does come at a cost.
Occasionally, the Asians, get word on the new technology and pump out their rendition and on several occasions they are quite nice.
Fish all day with a $100. rod then fish all day with a $700. that is the true test. But, you don't NEED the upper end to catch fish, it may just can make it more easy and more enjoyable.
I know several that bought the Genesis set-up Cabela's offered and they did just fine. It later makes a great back-up.
I am more a believer that the line is more important. With the right line, I can cast a pool stick.
