Yeah I know, read it. Reason for cabelas was that they are only sold in C?belas. Weak. LOL. I know they gave reasons. I just think it narrowed the test. It was narrowed already by the study itself. Which is fine since they state that up front. I'm fine with what they did. But I take it with a grain of salt, since line speed is not the deciding factor in my choice of a rod. But for those wanting the newest/fastest, the test is perfect.
