I tried All Star Rods and broke one on the first day I used it. They wanted me to pay the shipping to them, plus a $25 fee to fix it and another shipping fee to ship it to me. I chunked it in the can. To me, that is not a good warranty.
I went and tried a Shimano and broke it too. LCT replaced it with no questions. I like that. I didn't even have to show a reciept.
I decided to try the Spiral Stix cause of they sponsored this site. I love the Spiral Stix better than the Shimano. It feels so much better and it chunks the light weight lures I like to use better than the Shimano. I have one and another on the way.
I am not looking to spend a fortune on rods, but I do like the feel of a good rod. Once you throw a good rod, it's hard to go back to something less.
I have spent more $$$ on rods and reels since I started fishing inshore again than I ever did, but I think it is worth it.
I also like the custom rods cause they are that, custom. Built like I want mine to be built, and they look great. My wife crapped a cinder block when I bought the Spiral Stix, but when she looked at it and felt it, she was o.k. with it.
If I can buy custom and she not gripe at me about it, then we are all happy at my house.
