"I've had great success with the bargain-basement model.  Even thought a medium-size trout will bend the rod into a full curl that would make the proudest ram jealous, I keep fishing.  I continue casting with finesse to avoid a larger fish hat might beak the rod.  I've thought about developing a stronger rod made from steel like in the old days, but the lighting bolt thing that all true fishermen must worry about makes it an impractical invention."   Stephen Hann in "Alaska Magazine"   Rick
