You say you went heads up against the better sticks, but you didn’t mention if you could tell any difference in your game when using different sticks. For example, could you play longer, better and less fatigued with a lighter more expensive stick than with one of the ones off the bar wall?
I admit I had alot more confidence in my Diamond. I seemed to shoot the really difficult stuff better. I don’t think anyone is saying that if they use RodMaker’s rods that they can’t be beaten. Maybe it’s just that they think their fishing improves when they use one of his rods compared to when they use something else. At least that’s the way I see it.
Confidence is a lot of anything I admit. If I didn’t think there was some difference I wouldn’t have a new St Croix sitting next to the door ready to go out this weekend. (Another tournament on the 2nd) I wanted to get the feel of how much difference people feel there is. – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – Bassman Is it really worth it? I mean seriously.

Response:
Well said Dave. Confidence, quality construction techniques and quality components are the cornerstone of a custom rod. A good, well balanced and sensitive rod can boost an angler’s confidence and thus increase the catch rate. But it is NOT a magic cure all, you still have to have the knowledge of where the fish are, what they are doing and how to best provoke a strike. That does not change regardless of what rod you’re using. I know people like Rich Z, Warren and others could probably outfish 90% of the anglers with a Snoopy Catchem Kit, regardless of who built them a rod and how much they spent for it. Knowledge is still the key, always has been, always will be. — Steve OutdoorFrontiers http://www.outdoorfrontiers.com G & S Guide Service and Custom Rods http://www.herefishyfishy.com

As each of you has realized this is a topic which continually garners much debate. And to be honest there is no single correct answer. We each have opinions regarding custom vs. store bought rods. And not one us is wrong . It is a matter of "confidence", as Bob La Londe answered his own question. In that yes he was more comfortable, & played better when he used that custom stick. It is the same with fishing rods. you may have the best store bought rod to be had. And yet you might feel that there is something better to be had. Confidence is the key! From everyone I have "ever" sold a rod to ,comes the same answer. They feel more relaxed ,and at ease with that custom rod. Thus they fish better. Course it does help that custom builders go to greater lengths in building a rod than do the mass marketers. So from the onset an angler using a custom rod has a decided advantage over a fellow using a store bought rod. However if that angler does not have "confidence" in the rod he will fish no better than the fellow with the factory rod. A fishing rod is a tool, just as is the reel ,line, & lure. Think of it this way, when you need a speciacty tool to do a specific job, would you run down to the local Wal-Mart. And buy a cresent wrench to do a job that required a special gear puller. Most people are perfectly content using off the rack tools. And I wish them well, I probably send out 50 qoutes for rods for each one I actually sell. Most people are simply curious as to what a custom rod costs. But then there are those of you who have risen above what the store bought tools can do for you. And that is why there are custom builders. — Dave Norton Millennium Custom Rods

Response:
Confidence in your equipment in any sport is very important.Pro golfers have access to the most high tech clubs that can be made,and when they play poorly,they change manufacturers.Ernie Els played with Taylor Made clubs for awhile and did not win the way he felt he should,so now he plays Titleist and is on fire winning everything.I have clubs that are 15 years old and usually beat my buddies that are playing with clubs that cost around $1000.00 a set.I have confidence in my swing and abilities. I know Dave makes and incredible fishing rod,(Charles let me hold his one time .Personally though, the rods I have used for a long time that have served me well and are in good shape,and caught a ton of fish on,are what I have confidence in.Again,I have confidence in my equipment and my abilities.Would I have more confidence in a rod that costs $300.00,I doubt it.I would be scared to death something would happen to it.You have a great product Dave,and I wish you nothing but success with it.Its all relative.

To each his own, can be said in this situation. I’ve got a total of 8 St. Croix’s (the Elites) and they’re on the hooks in the garage, and that’s where they now stay. They were nice, but, the smoothnest and the sensitivety from a custom, balanced rod can’t be beat, no matter who the customizer may be. Of course my son Sean is loving it, because he gets all of my hand me downs. Even he’s having a rod built by Steve, after spending a 1/2 hour with one of Steve’s custom rods in his hands.

Response:
Worth it??? I guess it’s all in the way you look at it. I think so. I feel a certain sense of confidence standing at the front of the boat with my MCR at hand. Is it knowing that I’ve got an expensive, well built rod in my hands, or is it thinking that this rod is going to catch me more fish? I don’t know… What I do know is that something about my "pet" rods is helping me catch more fish, and that’s all that matters. When Dave called me to tell me he found a 6′8" All-Star, I don’t think I even once considered the price tag. I just told him to "go for it". This will be my second MCR rod, and as long as I can feel as good about this one… it’s well worth it. Also… just to clear the air, there is no reason for me to promote these rods for him. You asked… and I’m telling. Fishing… it’s all a confidence thing. — Visit Charles at the new: www.thebasspro.net www.secretweaponlures.com www.outdoorfrontiers.com www.midtennclassic.org – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – You guys kill me!
