Yeah, there is a point of just form and function. That's how I started and fished most of my life. How I rely on the Shimano Stradic spinning reels and used my FG models for about 20 yrs. For bait casting reels, it was the Curado E series right around 2010 or before when I bought them. That was also about the tiime when I went almost dedicated to bait casting reels and bought into the Metanium MG7 casting reels. Funny how the internet WWW sort of boom right about after the Y2K apocalypse-never as the 90's came to an end. Also when budget performance items was more powerful than any other time in the industry and price drops was part of it.
Getting old, older now. It's sort of become a love for a hobby. Where I still appreciate my total junk Shakespeare Ugly Stick rods and reels and even Zebco Rhino Rods and Classic 33 spincaster. Not to compare it against a Shimano Stella spinning reel or a Calcutta Conquest round casting reel.
G.Loomis rods was never in the good looks when they engineered it for form and function eventhough it became the industry's premium rods standard.
