yep.........what he said........ in this case less is more.........

OT

I picked more section/guides to prevent line from breaking. Less section rod actually cost less than what I had paid for. Unless you witness the rod close up, you will never witness these rods being decent duty compared to normal 10ft rod rated 8-15lber. I am using them as travel rod to be fitted to my hand carry luggage. I already own 4 long rod 10'+ long for my salmon fishing during fall.
