Re: Matrix: What type of small stream rod do you fish?
A graphite rod is the most overpriced rod by far.
Why is a top end graphite spinning rod about $300 and a top end Sage nearly $700?
There is less than $100 in that rod.
A bamboo rod takes 30-50 hours to make, do the math on what ever price point you want to pay for a rod.
The bamboo rod can be made to be just as performance minded as any graphite and it is very beautiful in hand.
Just my opinion, I had yours at one point until I found a bamboo rod that I loved like my Sage zero weight.
Now I love them all.
