Morning all, what are your thoughts on handmade rods v shop brought rods, do you think that one is any better than the other as it were, I was looking on the Vic Gibson site at the handmade rods they make and they do look very nice but very expensive, I'm not knocking the cost as they are what they say on the tin "handmade" I was just wondering would they outperform a standard shop brought rod? I am thinking of upgrading my rods, I have a present a couple of (I only fish with 2 rods as I feel thats more than comfortable for me personally) Fox Warrior rods, very budget, but were good to learn with and certainly seem to do the job, but I have been looking to treat myself to a pair of second hand rods on fleabay either Harrison or Century around 3lb to 3.25lb test curve, or even saving up and getting a pair of handmade rods from one of the rod builders on that advertise on the net.
Which rods do you all use and if you had unlimited money what rods would you buy as a first choice?
