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 shop at a St. Croix shop regularly will likely prefer that brand. Those that
frequent a Sage or Redington shop would probably recommend those brands. A lot of the
preferences are based on trust and fishing experience of the shop owner. If a customer
feels comfortable in the shop, 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.
