Remember its not always the name in a rod. Its what feels comfortable and is within your budget and requirements.

Feel a few rods around that price bracket and I reckon they are pretty similar. Take in your reel and feel which one has a better grip, and is weighted to balance your reel when you hold it as if you were going to cast.

Take time in choosing what you want and you will be pleased with your decision.

I use the Heartland IM6 rod and a capricorn reel. Nothing too flash but it does exactly what in need it to do. I will be using it in the comps next year and may consider buying another identical outfit as a backup rod. At the end of the day you still need plenty of lures to actually catch the fish with...
