The results from this testing procedure eliminates subjective opinions and deals in objective values.

Apparently I know less than I thought. I thought for small fish to have the ultimate experience you wanted an UL fast action. Am I correct that you want an UL, but the action is more related to the casting than the retrieval of the fish?

Don't overthink the purchase of a $20 rod. The UL Micro will be fine for what you want to do.

Subjective statement. This system does not discriminate against cost of rod or country of origin.

LOL (For the record, I literally LOL'd at that.)

As I type, there are 3.9 million posts on this site, which means there are 3.9 million subjective statements.

The poor guy is just trying to buy a UL rod. Do you really thing he needs to go through all of this:

Geez! Where's the "facepalm emoji" when you need one?

Too late. I've created five pages regarding a $20 purchase and somehow have three rods.

On the plus side, I'm sure you'll find a use for all three.

Somehow, we're rapidly approaching six.

At least I have two rods en route!

I will send two of them back. I’m super tempted to try the Ugly Stick just for the heck of it. Heck, with racing cancelled this year technically I should be a millionaire.
