Tuna, mako, tog, sea bass

Hey Skipper, why do guys pay $300-500 for a rod made in China?
Simple, those that market the rod tell potential customers that the rod blank has a "secret" ingredient in it that makes it special!
Why is the craftsmanship, and rod components sub par?
well most guys don't know anything about components, and what it takes to build a rod, so they fall prey to the HYPE! This is the same sales pitch used for many years. Just hold a FISH POISON rod next to when of these Chinese sticks and you can see clearly that FISH POISON RODS are the best rods in all categories. AT very fair prices.
Yeah, and the FISH POISON guys put your name on the rod with a fish decal of your choice, at NO EXTRA CHARGE!!!
Did you know that if you own a Fish Poison rod beautiful model type woman will want to go out with you? well, maybe not you.
well at least I'll catch all the big fish!
