Calrks aka Classic is a good Site!!You'll find a number to good Deals and Steals from time to time so keep looking.As Djo stated,see if there's a Cane Fan near you,I'm sure they will let you Cast a few of their Rods.However if you decide to Buy a Rod,most Builders apply a 3-Day Inspection with their Rods.Casting only if you Fish it it's yours.If your a Rod Bulder check out Mike Brooks(mibrooks27@msn.com)he Sells Cane Kits at $550 for a 2/2.The Kit includes a Cane Blank and all the Components need to finish the Rod.Talk to him about what type of fishing you'll be doing and he may be able point you to the right Rod for you.
