Here is the simple answer.

If you can't tell the difference, there is no difference for you.

How do you know? Trial and Error.


I have tried many rods and some I know I like and others I know I don't. The vast majority are somewhere in the middle which means I don't know right off how I feel about them and often I adjust to them, liking them more as time goes on. Its some science and some hype and appeal. I think one can adjust to most any rod if you are convinced that it is a good rod for you.
