We caught a ton of fish that day and he kept pace with my friend and I who use higher end rods. I know that quality of graphite, number of guides, etc.... dictate sensitivity but it isn't necessary to catch fish. Spend that extra money on gas!

the question wasnt what rod does it take to catch fish. Sure I can go grab anything at Academy or even Wal-mart and catch fish with it but its not what I prefer. The more you refine your abilities the pickier you will be about your equipment. I have a very difficult time finding a production rod setup the way I like it.
