I have paid $200 for a reel , and I think it was worth it .
I like super lightweight tackle and with the exception of St. Croix haven’t found any except the JDM rods I’ve bought .
Well I have 2 St. Croix rods an Avid 5' ULF and a Premier 5' 6" ULM. They are my mainstays. I prefer the Premier for its moderate action. Had them out today for a couple of hours. Went out too late and got skunked. They cast nice with that 4# Twitchmaster.

But I just wanted to have a look at the JDM rods and see what is out there that might suit my style if I manage to save a few bucks for she money. I'll look around and see what shows up. I'd just prefer to browse in one place for easy comparisons. Guys on here are frequently posting info about their tackle and it is nice to read. But frequently no cost is given.
