It's the same difference as salt water rods,a 75.00$ rod is made with different materials not necessarily inferior , but generally a $400.00 is of better quality than it's less expensive counterpart.But that does not mean that it's better.I use the Bass Pro Shops Tourney special,it's a $50.00 dollar rod, but it's just as good if not better than a $400.00 rod,as far as I'm concerned. Some people swear by the expensive stuff, but that doesn't make it better!I've tried expensive equipment, and it did not make me a better fishermen,I have some rods that I've paid between$50.00 and $100.00 that I still use 10 years latter,and work just as well now as when they were new!
