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.
