The same as you, I buy what I can afford, as we all do.
Whether or not it catches more fish is immaterial, it is using what you like and what you want that makes it more fun.
Individual choice is what it is all about, isn't it?
If that three grand gets you a pole that can be held more comfortably, for longer and at a greater length, yes, it certainly can catch you more fish. Then there's a question of rigidity and tip response, which can result in more bites hit.
I'd have not even contemplated buying a pole for more than around £750 until relatively recently. However, I got lucky with my most recent pole, it was new old stock at a massive discount, which kept it within my limits. It was painfully apparent just how much better the pole was compared to the new £750ish poles I'd tried. I reckon it was better than plenty of the £1500 poles I'd tried. I'd previously been very sceptical about expensive poles. Now, I doubt that I'd stump up two or three grand, but I can well understand why someone (regular match/pole anglers or those that can simply afford to) would.
