i clicked through an advert tonight for Greys rods , I was only a little bit surprised that their rods are going for 300 - 400 quid, to steep for me for what is essentially a casual hobby.
But my favourite rod is a carbon light feeder rod with exchangeable tips , my kids got it for me , its very very light I can comfortably hold it all day. So what does the more expensive rod give me ? A better action ? Its lighter ? It definitely should be more durable for that much.
I can't imagine strapping something that much to the cross bar of my bike and I really cannot see that I am doing anything than paying for a marginally better rod an inefficient manufacturing process or a label.
If you extrapolate this I cannot see why you should pay more than a hundred quid for a rod at all.
