it's a good point, peter. but to be honest, i'd guess i'd trust your
opinion given the number of rods you reportedly have. the only reason i
ask is that on paper these rods seem like they'd be real different and
not the kind of rods you'd mention in the same breath. needless to say,
it's the steep price of these rods that makes me want to ask as many
questions before i cut into my mortgage money.

Wayne is one of the few guys here who will have owned and fished these
two rods -- I can think of a couple of others who might have. That's
not a large group if you're looking for a cross-section of opinions.
Anyway, at this price point, there shouldn't be any junkers so it
really is strictly a matter preference. A cheaper rod is going to
fish just as well, so when going for the mortgage breaker, buy the one
that tugs at your heartstrings the most. There's more to these rod
purchases than performance, so if you buy the one in second place in
the heartstring race because a couple of people recommended it, you'll
probably never been fully satisfied with it.
