Re: popular beliefs you don't follow
I'll add one more thing I don't subscribe to, especially for fresh water fishing. Expensive rods and reels. My ultra light, medium and noodle rod are all Bass pro micro lite rods at around $40 each. They don't make a heavy so I have an ugly stick for that. Shimano reels, low-mid range because when you compare them to the expensive models there isn't much gained. I've had the rods bent end to end with no issues. If I break the rod no great loss. The reels are solid with a nice smooth drag. For fly fishing I buy Echo rods (100-120 range) which for the price you can't beat them and Lamson Konic reels that come with the same drag as their top of the line models.
The funny thing for me is that by keeping the cost down per rod/reel I end up buying more LOL.
