That's more understandable for me, the gear is heavier duty and there's a lot of money just making the boat trip. Would be worse to get out there and have crappy equipment fail you.

"Everybody" wants the hottest stick. I want something that feels smooth in the swing and the feel I like off the barrel. Why I could not get with the Z's, and not interested in other weird barrel feels no matter what they say might be added distance. Just trying to get on base and occasionally one might go over but that is not my swing style.

completely depends on the type of fishing that you do. if i'm flipping weedbeds, i need Heavy full action (rainbow bend) rods, if i'm vertical jigging for tight lipped walleye, if i put my Medium light fast action jiggin rod in your hand, you'd think that ugly stick was an oak log by comparison.
i have 2 ugly sticks that i use for casting crankbaits at spill over dams. love them as all purpose.

I have no doubt they're lame fishing poles, if good poles were $75ish I could see that but not heading well over $100 unless they're US made and definitely not over $200. It's not so much about the quality of the pole or that I don't think there's a difference, I'm sure they're a much better performing pole. I'm just not easy on my fishing poles at all, they ride in a truck bed, occasionally go brush busting with me, and sometimes get strapped to an external frame backpack. I don't worry about my $30 ugly sticks or if I have to buy another.
I just opened another tab and checking out rods on Bass Pro......dammit

Yes... I swell have 30 ugly sticks and cheap reels that I beat up on the river and lake... all my custom stuff is ocean gear

That makes sense to me since ocean fishing likely won't be battling brush, if I owned a boat for fishing lakes I could also see using nicer equipment. Personally I'm happier to know someone with a boat than own a boat, done that before.

If you support Monsta and their nerd D/E reps who couldn't hit their way out of a wet paper bag then feel free quit softball and join the rec-est of rec leagues where you belong.
The bats are okay. They are good but they aren't hands down the best. I've seen USA AM and new Miken/Worth bats hit the ball as hard or harder and as far or farther.
You want to support a company who takes all of the pre-orders he has collected, boxes them up and brings them to a tournament, sells them to the crowd, then tells people they are back-ordered longer? Seems legit.

The Patriot ASA and the Aftermath ASA are indeed hotter than Monsta for LESS and without warranty concerns
I have swung all of them.
Demarini also has excellent CS.
This is the part that cracks me up.
He had what, 200-300 bats on hand at Corky's? Probably sold them all. But couldn't get the people who had ordered bats a month ago theirs.
