looking at a 9ft. what is good brand amia , venom , aerocast ..........
The Brand that fits your budget .
Ask yourself the following How often am I ganna use it ?
Is spending half my fishing budget for the year on one set up , that im gonna use 10 time a year worth it ?
Is there not a good second hand available ?
What alternatives are there to the more famous brands

?
Have I done enough research on the Interweb searching review on the product I have in mind
Often a Brand like S.A. very own Sensation will have what you looking for , for what you gonna use it for , at a price that justifies it only to use 10 time a year.
