I buy the cheap shooting star 16 ft telescoping rods without eyes because i break a couple a year spider rigging 16 rods can be a handful when you fish solo most of the time and when 4 or 5 get hung at once there's nothing you can do but hope for the best and start grabbing them as fast as you can. I can normally pick up the eye kits at Decatur bait and tackle but they hadn't had rods or eyes last 3 times I've stopped by. I just like to keep some extras around. I actually found some should have Googled a little more before posting. Thanks
