go ahead and by the best you can to start with and if you decide spiderriggin is not for you (you will love it) it want be no problem to sell them !!!! i have a set of ozarks (8) 14ft and a set of capps & coleman (8) 14ft i would recommend either brand!!!!! it does take a little more get use to the c & c!!!! and the ozark has about the same tip as the c & c but more backbone!!!!
