Finding the best fly rod for you
Ask a group of fly fishermen which is the best fly rod and you will find various different opinions. Many are based on the level of experience of the fly fishermen, where they normally shop, what magazines they read, income levels and so on.
For example, those who have used St. Croix Fly Rods may prefer the Legend Elite or the Avid series. Those that have fished a lot with a Sage Rod will most probably recommend Sage or perhaps a Redington as their choice for Best Fly Rod.
A lot of the preferences are based on trust and the fishing experience of a shop owner or information on a website. If a customer feels comfortable, they will be more likely to spend their money there. Higher end shops attract higher end clientele, middle class shoppers will be most comfortable in a middle class shop. The bargain shoppers go to the big box store, a local sporting goods chain or a discount sporting goods store. They will purchase an inferior outfit and end up with an inferior experience.
