Never found a rod you can buy at any store even close to the performance.... But custom rods cost money and not everyone wants to pay that for a rod.... Only rods I would buy in stores would be Shimano,falcon and cheaper route All star

Note: all star rods are not the same as the 1st ones made out of Texas! Once bought out By (Shakespeare I think??) Rod quality has went to crap,,,imo

It's all subjective, those rods are pretty much production rods. The quality control isn't what it should be for 175-325 dollar rods either. You really only have choice of a couple of actions. Have one made with a rainshadow or shikari medium fast blank and you'll have the same lightweight feel.

Last all star i had broke about 3 times, finally i gave it away.

IMO, Falcon rods are the best bank for the buck. Not saying "there" the best. To each his own.

I have to agree with you...wont happen again.....

If i had to buy a rod from a store...It would be a Falcon...the old coastal were kick azz in the day.... Have not fished with a Falcon rod in a few years but I have always like them and had great luck...........

I really never found a Shimano rod I liked....dont know just short fat hands i guess

Carrot sticks was mention above some where...... If have spoke with many anglers and that rod is one of the worst on there list of rods......... I never picked one up...but know many who have talked real bad about them....Like I said..Just info I heard talking with other guides and anglers who fish over 200 days a year..
