I have several Sam Heaton rods as well as brush cutters, custom rods and other B/M poles . Started out spider rigging with pro staff and Ozark . The question is not about quality of b/m rods . The gift certificate will cover a DC ultra-lite, but not a Sam Heaton 7 ' ultra-lite . was just wandering if the 6' dc would be a good choice . Would try a St. Croix if I had a certificate from pro bass/Cabella's.
