Odd way to put it. I have definitely picked up rods, cast them, and immediately liked them. I have picked up rods, cast them, and disliked them. And I have picked up rods and not been quite sure and after some use, decided one way or the other. All the rods I own I like, but I think of them as specialized tools that each shine when applied to their assigned task. I have no single rod, however, that does all things perfectly, so I have never had an analogous experience myself.
