Well, I went ahead and made the purchase. Unfortunately, I felt like I was stepping down quite a bit by fishing the all star as compared to my cert. pro. No where near the sensitivity. However, I did manage to break it in with a 7 or so pound chromer that I lost at my feet and was happy with the rod's overall performance in the battle. For the money, I suppose they're good rods but in my mind it doesn't even hold a flame to my cert. pros...
Thanks for the advice folks
