In another post Mr. Proctor, who I think as a professional rod builder, can qualify as an EXPERT made the statement above. My question is "Are the lighter high dollar rods less durable?" Do the lower end of the spectrum rods have more resin, less graphite fibers, weigh a little more, not quite as high performance but more durable?
