It isn't a lifetime warranty and is a bit shorter, but my favorite bluegill rod right now is a Cabela's 3 forks combo. You can get a combo with fly line for $70-75. I have some rods that cost more than that combo did. The rod is a 7'6" 3 wt 3 piece. The combo has a LOT of bang for your buck. I like it better than my Dan Craft Sig V 4 wt, or my RX8 Batson 2 weight when I'm after bluegills. It casts nice, and the line in the combo isn't too bad either. I know several who have bought this combo and been very pleasantly surprised with the quality.
Better to be an active environmentalist than and environmental activist.
