DonAndersen Posted January 23, 2013 Author Share Posted January 23, 2013 Taco, Rod manufacturers will continue to use materials that provide a greater economic benefit to themselves. Whether or not the newest/greatest is a better rod will only rest in the hands of the angler. Of course, the views of the angler are manipulated by their peer group & advertising. Unlike many, I own and use rods of greenheart, bamboo, Fiberglas and graphite. Each of the rods have their place. Catch ya' Don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
