Re: [VFB] Rods

I can't help but agree with Del. I have a St Croix and a Diamondback among others, but the best casting rod I have is A $9.95  South Bend from Wal Mart. ----- Original Message ----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, March 02, 2002 3:12 PM Subject: Re: [VFB] Rods I don't own any high dollar fly rods (got a Penn international set that cost $1500) , mine are all Wally world specials. Two are South Bend (8 &5 WT) and one is a Silver Stream (5 WT) . I have caught fish with all three. My vise was a gift (got a Renzetti for Christmas). I have often wondered about the advantages of a high dollar rod. All in all I say if it isn't broke, don't fix it. Sure, one day I'll get me an Orvis or a Sage, but until then I'll be content with what I got, the fish don't seem to mind. For those of you that do own a high end rod, what are the advantages compared to my $29.95 South Bend set?      Delbert (Del) Roberts   Belton, South Carolina, USA ([EMAIL PROTECTED])
