Rambo, another thing to consider is the portability and, sadly, concealability of your rods. You might look at getting a travel rod of 4 or more pieces that breaks down into a smaller rod tube. It is easier to carry and easier to hide, if you don't have a trunk. It is small enough that it can be tossed into most trunks and left there as long as the weather isn't too hot or too cold.
