Hey guy. I was thinking about getting another baitcasting setup.

I wanna put another Curado on a 7' medium or medium/heavy rod.

Most of my rods are either St. Croix, Shimano and one Bass Pro Shops.

The BPS Extreme series rod I have right now does me well. But how does
it compare to a Gander Mountain series rod? Anybody?

Thanks...

For a factory built line of rods, the Gander Guide Series of rods are decent
enough. But if you're going to be spending the money on a good reel, why
not put it on a good rod? If you already have St. Croix and Shimano, look
at those rods again. The Avid series are pretty darned good for the money.
