Price of Fishing Reels

Do to some economic issue's , Millennium Rods has been offline for some
time. And as things stand we will be till the 1st of the year.

Anyone can contact me privately with questions regarding our line. Would
like to point out that as soon as some things get turned around for us . a
much improved line
up has been developed.
Sorry to say for those here that the biggest area to improve is our flyrod
line.

Not ask a stupid question, but...

What is the Millennium Rods website? How does one get a listing of Dave's
rod options?

I've been looking at working with Daniel Sturgis from Backwoods Rods here
in
Canada on a custom line for use by Innovative's staff and pro's, but was
really impressed with Dave's "long answer", and am thinking that I'd like
to
learn more.

I however give each client the "option" as to how their rod will look.
We
go
into some rather detailed decorative effects.

At MCR ,we believe that we are building rods that will "last" a
lifetime.
That is why we provide a lifetime warranty with each rod.

These are two of the MAJOR reasons why I contacted Dave to build me a
couple
of rods. Hopefully, my son will enjoy fishing as much as I do and I can
pass
these on to him. After all... they were personally made for his daddy,
and
maybe he'll respect that when he's an adult.

I'll have you know that my $365 reel is mounted on a $250 rod (Loomis), $270
reel on a $350 rod (custom), $155 reel on a $290 rod (custom) and my other
$155 reel on a $85 rod (St Croix). My last decent reel is patiently waiting
for me to give it a new home. If anyone wants to donate a quality rod to my
cause, my Chronarch SF would be very grateful... g

Now I must delete this post before SWMBO see it. She is still basically
unaware of how much all of my goodies cost.

So, what motivates you to buy a rod? And Charles, you have two MCR rods.
Why
?

Again , why will someone spend several hundred dollars on a reel . And
then
buy a $69.00 rod for it?

Truth be told though... the rod is probably the most important piece of
equipment. You don't feel the fish, or the strikes with the reel... you
feel
everything with the rod. The more sensitive the rod is, the more you'll
be
able to feel.

Evening Dave,

Truth be told, I find that the quality of the rod depends on what I
intend
to do with it. I can't see spending more than $125 on a cranking rod,
yet
I
doubt that I'll ever spend less that $100 on a good jigging stick
again.
I
don't need high modulus graphite on a bucktail rod, but you can be
sure
that's what I'm looking for if I'm using a Lindy rig.

Does this help, or are you looking for even more detailed information?

snip incriminating evidence

I like nice things?



All kidding aside, I am one of those people that will pay a bit more for
quality things. Although a Curado / St Croix Premier combo would do the same
job, it will not do it at the same comfort level, reliability level and
sensitivity level. The pricier "quality" reels are usually built to tighter
tolerances, have more features that are useful, and they just plain feel
more dang refined when you use them. I am willing to pay for that. I am also
willing to pay for a rod that will do exactly what I want it to do. I am not
willing to pay those prices for something that just "comes close" to what I
want it to do. This is why you will probably never see me buy a rod much
over $100 off the rack unless it is exactly what I am looking for. This is
why I scrape and save for 6 months at a time in order to have a rod built
for me that does do exactly what I want it to do.



I don't expect many other people to feel the same as I do about fishing
tackle, and I don't knock anyone that doesn't feel the same way. This is one
of the reasons that fishing has got to be one of the best recreational
activities bar none! You don't have to go out and buy tons of expensive
equipment to do it and enjoy it.
