I'm following you Rockstar. The expensive crankbait series rods or rods used for reaction baits are difficult to distinguish from the reasonably priced rods... but as you get into the high end Loomis GLX, ($300+) etc. the differences are more obvious. It comes down to the weight of the rod (in ounces) vs. the sensitivity & strength. Those high end rods are VERY addictive.

My $0.02
It comes down to what a fisherman "needs" vs. "what would be nice to have". MANY of the lower priced rods present a GREAT VALUE. And if guys want to buy a 2nd, 3rd, or 4th outfit, the reasonably priced rods are a great way to do it.

I've never tried the Rapala rods, but thanks for the tip. Shimano Clarus casting Berkely Lightning Rod spinning sticks have been a good value for me.
