Just buy 2 of every Allstars over 1 GL3. You'd still save $$$ and not be out a rod! wink

Personally, I use my Allstar as "utility" or "specialized" rods.

My main baitcasting and spinning rods are Loomis IMX. Not willing to pay that stupid $50 "bend over" fee Loomis has. Fortunately, I haven't broken any of my Loomis rods yet.
