All Star rods, you can get them at wall mart and kmart, my opinion they suck.
Loomis , worth the money even after shimano.
Shimano has not ruined this company, they are expanding. look at there return policy on reels.
Flame away!!!
All star + Bill dance + Bass = red neck dip ****

The company I work for is very good friends with the new prez of Shimano and gary Loomis and they are aware of what they are doing.
