It depends. Do you want to fish with it or use it for a tent pole?

Just kidding. You can't beat a GL3 for drift fishing, mine makes my Lami's feel like broom sticks.

Just to complicate matters more, I had my first chance to try out an Allstar rod last week. It was the 4-10#, 9 footer. Very nice. Nicer than my lami's, at about half the price of that, one fifth the cost of a GL3.

Still not as nice as a GL3, though. Close.

All right, Justin, time for you to chime in about the Allstars. I wouldn't mind hearing more about them after using one last week.

Fish on...

Todd.
