Also you need to try rods before you buy them, don't blindly buy a rod just based on its weight rating. This is a VERY arbitrary number that varies greatly from manufacture to manufacture!
Example -- I have a Daiwa rod thats rated 6 to 8 or 10. The most I would ever throw on that rod is 4oz, anything over that and it just doesn't cast well at all, its WAY too flexible to cast. Almost feels like the rod is going to snap any second at the end of the cast.
