me carries 2 to 3 rods max ....each one runs from 40 dollars on the setup to 150 .....
one is for one single pole thing the next for yet another
sometimes the third rod is there for if I am in an in between the other 2 situations situation
but in the end I can hurt them with a 12.99 set up if I choose to ....I like the feel of some rods
some not so much ....its a preference thing I think in the end .
