I went to BPS today with a bud to the store in Independence. He started out with a spinning rod for walleye. It was a St. Croix Premiere model. The one he really wanted was the same action in the Avid. After a while he fell weak and decided to fork over an additional 60 or 70 and get it. Before I could get him out of there the BPS salesman comes along and suggests the BPS carbonlite. It's priced about the same as the St. Croix Premiere. Next thing I know he drops the Avid and takes the Carbonlite to the checkout. Yea ? Nay ? What say ye ?
