If you want to spend some money, the St. Croix rods usually have really sensitive tips on them.
Also if you really really like your current rod you can probably get it refinished with a new reel seat and new guides. Unless the rod is physically damaged and splitting apart. I would do this even if you bought yourself a new rod. If you read up on rod building you can refinish this rod yourself (I am just starting the endevour myself). But if you want to do it yourself a new reel seat costs like 8 bucks, guides about $25 (for decent guides), about 15 bucks for cork tape, 10 bucks for glue and epoxy and 6 bucks for thread! Poof brand new rod!

Will look at the Okuma (but what does P.O S refer to?). Will also read up on fixing my old rod. Thanks for the suggestions. Josh
